With several in-person events returning this year, BID Leicester has partnered with the LBF to offer event-goers the opportunity to visit a ‘Refuel Hub’ to rest and grab something to eat or drink in between events.
There are 13 Refuel Hubs across the city which are offering discounts or benefits such as free Wi-Fi. To see the full list of Refuel Hubs, visit the website: www.leicesterbusinessfestival.com/refuelhubs
Simon Jenner, Director at BID Leicester, said:
“Leicester city centre has a great range of cafes, bars and restaurants and BID Leicester is encouraging LBF event attendees to take advantage of these through our Refuel Hubs. There are some great events in the festival programme, but we know that relationships are often best built and contacts made over a coffee, some lunch or a post work drink.
“The Refuel Hubs are also great locations to get a bit of work done using the Wi-Fi between events so some and check them out.”
Nearly all events are free to attend, but it is vital that tickets are booked in advance.
