Reviewing a fantastic start to the year

2023 began with a sense of foreboding for the events and hospitality industry. Talk of a recession was rife and there were whispers of a bumpy ride ahead. Fast forward… and as we close out February, hasta is looking back fondly on two fantastic months that have seen many bums on seats, smiling faces and cheering voices across some epic events. We will hold our hands up and admit that it has been a very rugby-heavy start to our year. 

This year, Rugby fans have had plenty to talk about! From Scotland’s unprecedented shot at a Grandslam in the Guinness Six Nations tournament to potential Welsh strikes and changes in the rules of play – there is no shortage of topics for debate. We are pleased to provide commentary from passionate ex-pros who share their insights into what each nation can expect over this remarkable season! WHAT DID ALEX PAYNE, KELLY BROWN, GEORGE KRUIS, BENJAMIN KAYSER, SHANE WILLIAMS AND RORY BEST HAVE TO SAY?

My Name’5 Doddie Burns Supper. 

For the second year running, we had the privilege to partner with The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation to create an unbelievable Burns Night celebration at The Brewery in the heart of London. This was an incredibly poignant event, as it was the first since the great Doddie Weir’s passing last November. 

The likes of Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Kelly Brown and Louise The Piper provided incredible entertainment, while guests were able to rub shoulders with Scotland’s finest. Most importantly, we were able to raise a fantastic sum of money to further the research into curing Motor Neurone Disease.
