Publican Awards
Did your #PublicanAwards tweet cut the mustard?
It all began with the build, and The Morning Advertiser editor Ed Bedington lent a helping hand in setting up the bars with his personal hardhat.

It took near 48 hours' worth of work to build some 16 bars and one DIY snack station.
It’s all hands on deck here - always a spectacle seeing how quickly everything comes together! #PublicanAwardspic.twitter.com/C6RF3iweoE

We also had a strong message surrounding the environment and stamping out plastic use in the Sky VIP lounge.

And once it was all built, they then began to arrive in their droves, with 1,400 descending on the party.
