Tuesday 2 July saw the Hoxton Basement in Shoreditch turn into an array of tastings and treats for Britefest 2013.
Eventbrite, with two of its co-founders Kevin and Julia Hartz, hosted the celebration of all of the fantastic events happening here in the UK. Some 85,000 events have been ticketed on Eventbrite in the UK in the last year alone – more than half of the total number of UK events on the platform in the last seven years. Thirty-eight per cent of UK events on Eventbrite in the last year have been in London with a growing proportion happening outside the capital.
Over 150 organisers were able to get inspiration by sampling ales from the Wandsworth Beer festival; bubbles from Champagne Jayne, tapas from Marlene Food Styling, sushi from Rachel’s Kitchen, and sweet treats from Kath’s Cakes. The Eventbrite team was also on hand to give advice at the Brite surgery.
