The Weekend Takeover at Red Lion Inn

24th - 26th April

Payday’s landed, and your group chat’s gone from quiet as a mouse to suspiciously pinging nonstop (classic).

Good thing the Weekend Takeover is back! This is where we turn it up a notch. Think buzzing atmospheres, live events, and menus so good they practically drag you to the bar. Oh, and because we like to keep things interesting, there’s also a little something extra you could win on our competition page.

So whether you're celebrating payday, dodging the kitchen, or just in it for the vibes, we're bringing something different to the table. Trust us, you’ll want a seat.

Payday energy hits different

There’s something about a pub on payday. The buzz at the bar, the background chatter, the shared relief that the weekend has officially arrived. It’s not something you can recreate at home.
