Competitive Socialising 2022: The Power of Play

After the hugely successful Competitive Socialising 2020 , Home Leisure Direct and Inntegra LTD are proud to be back with Competitive Socialising 2022.

This event is going to be bigger than ever, and will be taking place at the stunning art deco Lighthouse Theatre, in London on the 9th of February 2022. The day will be jam packed with talks, demos, and awesome products to play with, Rock and Roll Bingo and DJ's in the evening, along with lots of other special entertainment, running from 10.30am-11pm.

The market sector experienced huge growth in recent years and is now exploding even further. It’s no surprise that after a year of being locked in our homes for a forced social detox, the nation has climbed out of it's burrow to get back to spending time together. Think social darts, shuffleboard and games of pool, alongside gourmet street food and impressive cocktail packages, all wrapped up in an incredibly themed venue with more Instagram opportunities than you can shake your smartphone at. Now is the time to join the revolution and have some serious fun changing the face of the retail and leisure industry.

With the uncertainty that is swirling around our industry currently, we would like to put some assurances out about the event in relation to Covid: the event is going ahead as planned and we are keeping to scheduled deadlines.

In order to keep safe, all attendees must be able to show a valid covid passport on the NHS app or provide a negative lateral flow test. We will have security on the door to check this. If you are unable to do this upon arrival, we have set up a tent outside to conduct rapid lateral flow tests.

One of the reasons for securing The Lighthouse Theatre in Camberwell is its huge capacity. There are 900 seats and tickets are being capped at 500 guests so every other seat can be free. The hall has a capacity of 5,000 and is fully ventilated to make social distancing possible.

But... just in case, we are fully insured and can change the date at any point if there is a need to postpone.
