🎉 WHAT A NIGHT! 🥂✨🕺 WOW! What an incredible night 🎉 WHAT A NIGHT! 🥂✨🕺

WOW! What an incredible night of celebrations! 🧡🩶💚

Friday night was everything we hoped it would be and so much more! Celebrating 20 amazing years of thestudio surrounded by so many wonderful people made it a night we’ll never forget!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this very special milestone. From familiar faces and old friends to colleagues, clients and partners, it was wonderful to see so many people come together, raise a glass and share in our celebrations.

Of course, a night like this wouldn’t have been possible without some truly fantastic suppliers who helped bring it all to life! A massive shout-out to:

🍴 @digbethdiningclub
🍹 @sipnswigmobilebar
🎸 @theshortwavesband
✨ @tableart.co.uk
🏨 @staybridgesuites

And a special thank you to our incredible studiofamily, who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the night such a success. You really are the heart of thestudio! 🧡

20 years, countless memories and one unforgettable night!

Here’s to everyone who’s been part of our journey so far, and to many more years of making memories together.

THANK YOU for celebrating with us! 🥂🧡

🌱 Plant-Based Perfection at thestudio! Who says e 🌱 Plant-Based Perfection at thestudio!

Who says event catering has to be beige and boring? This World Vegan Day, we’re celebrating vegan food that’s colourful, satisfying and full of flavour! 💚

Our chefs put taste, nutrition and fresh, sustainable ingredients at the heart of our menus, creating food that looks as good as it tastes and caters for a range of dietary needs.

With over 110,000 customers to feed across our four venues this year, that’s a lot of lunches and plenty of opportunities to make plant-based food shine! 🌿

👉 Read our blog, ‘Plant-Based Perfection: Discover Vegan Food at thestudio’, for a taste of what’s on the menu. Follow the link in our bio!

🧡 Team Tuesdays – Meet Caroline! 💚 Say hello to C 🧡 Team Tuesdays – Meet Caroline! 💚

Say hello to Caroline, our Assistant Venue Manager, who’s been part of the studiofamily for around a year and a half! 👋

Easy-going and always up for a laugh, Caroline loves getting to know the people she works with and the guests who walk through our doors.

Outside thestudio, you’ll find her catching up with family and friends, getting hooked on a good TV binge-watch or sneaking away for a few days. 📺✈️

Her holiday drink of choice? A Banana Espresso Martini! 🍌🍸 A firm favourite at her go-to hotel in Lanzarote… and apparently, it would be rude to have just one! 😉

And her claim to fame? Caroline’s appeared in a newspaper AND took part in a Toys R Us trolley dash as a youngster. Every kid’s dream and probably the best shopping trip ever! 🛒😂

Lovely to have you in the studiofamily, Caroline! 🧡💚

💚 Monday Motivation: “A true gem in the heart of B 💚 Monday Motivation: “A true gem in the heart of Birmingham!”

We’re starting the week with a smile thanks to this lovely feedback following the Digital NNS “Un-conference” at thestudio Birmingham:

“The Studio exceeded my expectations in every way, from the welcoming staff and fantastic food and drinks to the excellent facilities and just the venue itself. A true gem in the heart of Birmingham!”

The event brought NNS teams and digital organisations together to share ideas, explore barriers to accessing digital services and discuss ways to build digital confidence within our communities.

Thank you for your kind words! Knowing our team, food and spaces helped make your day a great one is all the Monday motivation we need. 🙌

🧡🩶💚 Being Heard….Listening is the First Step. 👂🧡🩶💚 🧡🩶💚 Being Heard….Listening is the First Step. 👂🧡🩶💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re celebrating the importance of feeling heard. Every conversation, every concern and every voice deserves attention, understanding and support.

At thestudio, our people are at the heart of everything we do. While our teams across all four venues work hard to look after our guests, looking after ourselves and each other matters just as much.

It starts with listening. Making time to check in, offering space to talk and listening with care can help someone feel valued and supported.

✨ TEAM TUESDAYS ✨ This week we’re heading to thes ✨ TEAM TUESDAYS ✨

This week we’re heading to thestudio Manchester to say hello to the lovely Neelam, one of our Duty Managers! 👋🧡

Neelam joined the studio family 7 months ago and loves being behind the scenes, helping our clients turn their plans into brilliant events on the day.

💬 “I love meeting new people and learning about the work they do, whether that’s through a charity, a business or simply a social event.”

After busy days surrounded by hundreds of delegates, Neelam likes to switch things up and find somewhere a little quieter! 🌿 She loves getting outdoors, exploring nature and enjoying her own company, the best of both worlds!

🎬 Favourite movie: Entergalactic, because what’s more Gen Z than trying to balance success, ambition and love? 😄

🎨 Fun fact: Neelam has a seriously creative side and loves painting, drawing and designing.

We’re so happy to have you as part of Team Studio, Neelam! 🧡🩶💚
