Celebrate 25 Years of Skiddle

It's Tuesday 1st May 2001. The carpet at Tokyo Jo's in Preston is sticky, the balloons are bobbing, and Cream Nightclub legend Paul Bleasdale is making the speakers sweat. Amongst the chaos, a small band of students is launching something new - a little nightlife guide called Skiddle.com.

There are rumours about what went down (some best left unverified), but with no Instagram, no TikTok and Tom from Myspace still five years away from sliding into our friends list, Skiddle was born.

Fast forward, what started as a late-night side hustle between two mates, Rich and Ben, is now a leading force in event promotion and ticket sales across the UK. From basements to arenas, from BBQs and soon to be Blackpool Tower - we've done it all. And now, we're throwing a party to celebrate!

A night of dinner, awards, dancing, and the classic Skiddle brand of joyful chaos. This one's for everyone who's been part of the journey - friends, family, customers, collaborators, and the countless dance floors we've called home.

Come raise a glass to 25 years of music, mayhem making memories and who could forget, ticketing! We'd love to see you there.
