This week, we hosted the official launch of 2026 campaign on the night of Carnaby Street’s Christmas Lights Switch-On, bringing the celebrations to Ticket Hall in the heart of Soho🎄✨

We’re proud to be partnering with StreetSmart throughout the festive period, supporting their important work tackling homelessness across the UK.

As part of our partnership, a £1 donation will be added to guests’ bills at participating Inception Group venues, helping support people experiencing homelessness this winter.

It’s a simple gesture that can have a lasting impact, and we’re looking forward to making this our biggest fundraising year yet!

We hosted our annual Bartender’s Competition Finals in September, bringing the Inception Group team together at Bacardi HQ for a day of creativity, skill and seriously impressive cocktails! 🍸

Our talented bartenders went head-to-head in team and individual rounds, showcasing their mixology skills, innovative ideas and flawless presentation, all while being cheered on by friends, family and colleagues.

A huge thank you to Bacardi and Patrón Silver Tequila for sponsoring this year’s competition, and to everyone who took part in making the day such a memorable celebration of the passion, creativity and spirit that make Inception Group one of a kind. ✨
