Year 2 of Perth Cocktail Week will be bigger and better; we’re thrilled that Perth & Kinross Council are behind the event to drive support to the city centre and its venues.”
“Our Cocktail and Restaurant Week concepts work well. They draw new people into the area, offer a fresh incentive to drive traffic and footfall for hospitality businesses and give the public a way to help support their favourite venues without spending too much money.
“We love the passion from the Council for this project and they should be praised for actively supporting local business and driving footfall into the town centre.
“I’m a passionate and proud Scot and have lived and worked in the area for years. Hospitality has been faced with many challenges these past few years, but initiatives like Cocktail Week really have helped increase footfall during traditionally quieter periods.”
Perth and Kinross Council Economy and Infrastructure Convener Councillor Eric Drysdale said: “The first Perth Cocktail week was a huge success and I am sure this year will be even more successful.
“It’s a great way for people to have fun and show support for local businesses. We’re lucky to have such a great range of restaurants and bars in Perth and Kinross the Perth Cocktail Week is a great opportunity for people to revisit their favourite venues – or try somewhere new.”
