Bold Arms regulars compete for prize of a lifetime

A churchtown pub have launched a search for an ‘event tester’ who will be paid £2,000 to travel around the country to visit hostelries.

The Bold Arms on Botanic Road, is advertising a dream ‘Summer Sab-bar-tical’ for event lovers to help shape the pub’s event programme.

The lucky winner will undertake a road trip across the UK, attending a range of events at pubs. Each one must be reviewed thoroughly, from the atmosphere and activities, to the food and drink, with all feedback provided to management at the Bold Arms.

The role has been created to celebrate the launch of Greene King’s Great British Summer Social, which will see more than 1,500 events take place at Greene King pubs nationwide, from beer yoga and beach parties.

The campaign has been designed to bring the community together and celebrate a great British institution – the pub.

Andrew Wilkinson, general manager at the Bold Arms, said: “Events are a great way to bring the community together and there’s nothing better than spending time with family and friends at your local pub, especially over the summer.

“That’s why we are creating an action-packed summer of events for locals, with help from our first ever official event tester.”
