🎤 Don’t just take our word for it…

The Windle Pub - New has been putting its new karaoke setup to good use — and their customers are already loving it.

Karaoke is just one of the entertainment options available through the Innfinite system, giving venues more ways to create great nights, engage customers and give them another reason to come back.

Fancy bringing karaoke to your venue? Get in touch with our team to find out more.

When you spend as much time in pubs as our Account Managers and BDMs do, you get pretty good at spotting the spaces that could be doing a little more.

It might be a quiet corner, an underused table or an opportunity to give customers another reason to stay longer and come back.

Every pub is different, which is why our team takes the time to understand the venue, the customers and what will actually work before recommending anything.

Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes is all it takes.

Every square metre has a job to do.

Average pub dwell time reached 154 minutes in July — up 12 minutes year-on-year.

Getting people through the door matters. Giving them a reason to stay matters too.

🎱 One more game?
🎤 One more song?
🍻 One more round?

The right entertainment gives customers something to do together — and gives your venue another reason to be the place they choose to stay.

So, what could another 12 minutes mean for your pub?

🎓 September is coming. Is your student week ready?

There are almost 2.9 million students enrolled in UK higher education – and this year's students are balancing more than lectures and nights out.

65% of full-time undergraduates now work during term time, while nearly half of 2026 university applicants say more opportunities to socialise and build connections would improve their university experience.

So giving students a genuine reason to visit matters.

And not just on Friday night.

We've been thinking about how venues could build an entertainment mix that works across the whole student week.

ONE WEEK.
SEVEN REASONS TO VISIT.
ONE ENTERTAINMENT PARTNER.

Freshers arrive in September. Talk to The Rudd Group about your student entertainment mix.
