Our Culture

LoungeAid

LoungeAid is our initiative to give back. Each Lounge selects a charity each year, and our teams participate in fundraising and community events. This includes everything from bake sales to sponsored sky dives!

We made over £150,000 for local charities in 2024, and hope to raise even more each year.

LoungeFest

The biggest party in hospitality, exclusive for Loungers. For one day each year, we close all of our Lounges to celebrate our teams with a specially arranged festival!
