Anyone that launched a new business in early 2021 has had to overcome many obstacles to ensure their business has continued. Imagine starting up in February, the day before the country went into lockdown!
That is exactly the start-up story of local Open Air Cinema company Horizon Experiences.
With the start of the pandemic, and looking back now, it would probably have been easier to have given up hope of launching a business at that time however after a little re-planning of the business and a ‘re-re-launch’ within the new covid restrictions, the team at Horizon have gone through it all.
Roll-on a little more than two years and it was time to revisit the original business plan.
A company spokesperson said ‘the markets and audiences have been extremely unpredictable meaning all the planning and market research we had was thrown to the side on top of the money we had already invested.’
‘To date, we have aimed to grow and maintain the business, and now through sheer hard work, careful business management, and a big heap of can-do attitude, but now we are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest experience, Bluey the mobile bar!’
A spacious converted teal blue vintage caravan with a full bar including locally sourced spirits and draughts; cocktails, hot drinks, including fully loaded hot chocolates, and a great selection of traditional and popular locally sourced, freshly made indulgent bar snacks!
‘Bluey’ will be hired out fully decorated with perfect lilac/white hanging wisteria (think Bridgerton) and for evening events will be filled with plenty of pretty fairy lights offering a real focal point for guests along with a couple of bar stools and tables for guests to enjoy their drinks.
The bar will be on show at Horizon Experiences’ Open Air Cinema events across Wiltshire, Gloucester and Avon, and Somerset.
Director, Dev “I look forward to pouring you all a drink at some point over the summer! Bottom’s up”
