Takeover lands at The Britannia on the 18th June from 7pm 🍻✨

A proper evening before the Father’s Day weekend begins — good music, flowing pints, and the kind of atmosphere worth leaving the house for.

And if you’re planning to celebrate your dad anyway… why not start a few days early?

Too hot for plans — just grab a Spritz and enjoy the sunshine🌞🍹
