You don’t need to be lonely this Christmas, even if you happen to be spending it alone. Instead why not have some fun in a virtual pub which aims to be accessible to everyone?
The Staying Inn was set up to keep people in self-isolation connected during Covid-19. It also has its own Twitter site.
It will be holding several events over the festive season. These include:
A Movie Night on Sat 19 Dec, Christmas Eve Games at 3pm on that day, a Christmas Day Pub Visit also starting at 3pm, Betwixmas Bingo at 7pm on Sunday December 27, and a New Year’s Eve Party, starting at 8pm on Thursday 31st. All of these take place on video conferencing site Zoom.
The Inn has been hosting a variety of events for most of the year and has its own Catch-Up facility at which you can see what has been happening. The sessions use BSL and captions to be as inclusive as possible.
You can become a member here. They have no fees but do appreciate if members can afford to donate the price of a pint for each visit to help keep the Inn as accessible as possible. Cheers!.There is also a fundraising page.
