Push Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday!

It’s that time of year again – the POETS Lunch is back and the theme is set, Especially for You, with special drinks and special food for our special POETS Lunch guests and a special appearance by none other than Jason Donovan!

Heart-throb, musical theatre star and UK pop idol, Jason will be jetting to Glasgow Especially for You to kick off this year’s POETS Lunch with a delicious performance of his greatest hits, before racing back to London to appear in the West End that same night.

Tam Cowan will be his usual cuddly self, overseeing proceedings in his own inimitable style, beautifully supported by the skills of auctioneer, Natasha Raskin Sharp, who will be familiar from the BBC’s Bargain Hunt, Antiques Road Trip and Flog It!

Fundraising for HIT Scotland will start with a brand-new Icebreaker from the creators of Boogie Bingo, followed by our raffles and auctions crammed with prizes curated Especially for You. Fundraising is vital to all that HIT Scotland does, allowing us to continue to empower inspirational development for the Scottish hospitality industry, through our scholarship programme.

Everybody needs good neighbours, and we will be supported once again by an amazing entourage of fabulous Scottish hospitality companies, who underpin our lunch with delicious drinks and food, prepared by a trio of fantastic chefs, all backed up by a brilliant young team.

The fun continues once the lunch is done as the POETS After Party takes to the floor with music, munchies and plenty to drink!
