The Hive, in conjunction with Barnet Football Club, held its first commercial event on Tuesday evening with over 150 existing and potential sponsoring partners in attendance.

The event provided a fantastic opportunity for local and regional businesses to come and see just how much The Hive and the club has to offer their own business and sales development plans.

The Barnet Casino was also a massive hit with each guest receiving an allocation of Barnet Bucks (funny money) which they were able to gamble or use with the club in exchange for hospitality in the future. As well as introducing some light hearted entertainment to the evening, it represented another example of The Hive’s versatility that can be adapted to stage any style of an event that its clients may require.

The club’s Head of Commercial, Peter Davis, hailed the evening as a resounding success and believes that the evening will be the first of many over the coming months, all designed to continue to develop awareness and subsequently further support for Barnet FC and the magnificent Hive complex.

“The Hive is a superb combination of community and business facilities managed by a fantastic team of background staff who are all dedicated to the maximising of its potential to all sectors of the community. Events such as this will be regularly staged, each designed to support and drive the reach of the club into the heart of the community”

“We are continuing the programme with a fun-filled community day taking place on Saturday, which has been designed to open our doors once again, this time to our supporters both old and new, together with their families.”

The Hive Fun Day will take place from 11am to 3pm this Saturday, there will be a BBQ, sports games and stadium tours with the first-team also in attendance.
