🌧️ A little something to brighten up a miserable Friday! 🧡💚

The weather might be gloomy, but our chefs have been bringing the heat! 🔥👨‍🍳

Another AMAZING evening of fabulous food at thestudio Birmingham & Leeds last night! 🍽️✨ What better way to end the week than with a little foodie inspiration?

👏 A HUGE shoutout to our wonderful chefs for another job brilliantly done!

📸 Go on, feast your eyes… Happy Friday everyone! 🧡💚

🧡 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 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. 👂🧡🩶💚

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 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! 🧡🩶💚

🎉 18 YEARS…OF JULIAN
SIMPLY THE BEST! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating a pretty special milestone 18 years of Julian at thestudio! 🧡

Julian describes his time with us as a bit of a rollercoaster🎢 full of adventure, brilliant people, big moments and plenty of memories along the way.

And after 18 years, there really was only one soundtrack for this celebration… Simply the Best! 🎶🙌

A huge thank you, Julian, for everything you’ve brought to thestudio over the years and for being such a big part of our story.

You might be hoping there are “a few years in me still…” we certainly hope so too! 😂🧡

Here’s to 18 years… and plenty more adventures to come! 🥂

☕ Happy International Coffee Day!

At thestudio, we believe great days start with great coffee! That’s why we worked with @redbercoffee to create our very own studio blend, a smooth, aromatic coffee with delicious chocolatey, nutty notes, freshly roasted to order and brewed across all our venues.

And the goodness doesn’t stop with the last cup! 🌱 We offer our used coffee grounds FREE for your garden, helping give plants a boost while reducing waste.

So whether your daily grind calls for a latte, mocha or simply a great cup of coffee, we’ve got it brewing. ☕🧡🩶💚

And don’t forget, just ask for some coffee grounds next time you visit!

SHARE THE LOVE 🧡🩶💚

Today, we’re celebrating World Heart Day and spreading a little love across thestudio! ❤️

Keep an eye out for our Love Hearts in our venues and, if you’ve had a great experience with us, why not share the love?

A Google review really does mean a lot. It helps our team know we’re getting things right, helps others discover thestudio and gives everyone here a little boost too. 🥰

So, if you’re feeling the love… tell us about it! ❤️
