Hedonist Events and Endpoint Creates have joined forces and merged together to create a brand new operation: Impact Collective.
The union of the two companies is all about 'a new era of impactful and memorable events' and combines Hedonist Events' 'trendsetting concepts and high-profile clientele' with the 'logistical and technical execution' that Endpoint Creates has become known for.
Launching this month, the company plans to become a leading force in the events sector. The team recently have worked across a range of sectors, largely specialising in food and beverage, including Plenish, London Essence, Rockstar, Sachio Drinks and Britvic, under Hedonist Events and plans for 2024 include an equally impressive list of clients, including Amazon Prime, Plenish, Britvic, and we're told there's plenty more to follow.
Director of Impact Collective, Bruce Lerman, said “It’s a really exciting time for us here at Impact. We have won some major work for 2024 and the move away from Hedonist and Endpoint, draws a line in the sand of that chapter. At Hedonist we did some incredible things (from the bar to the events company) but now is the time to change and evolve. It is useful to also focus our minds on one thing. Welcoming and increasing the team as the demand is sky high for work..”

Leeds also came out with a solid safety score of 47.28, so it's fair to say Leeds it’s a well-rounded option for students.Bath took the top spot with 10 venues per 10,000 people and an impressive average rating of 4.45 stars.
Coming in second, Manchester boasts the highest number of bars and clubs overall, with 606 venues, 15 for every 10,000 people and a strong average rating of 4.37 stars and a pint costing slightly less than Bath at £5.50.
In third place was Newcastle and in fifth place was York. It's safe to say that the North dominated the top spots, and rightly so.
The top ten best cities for student nightlife in the UK are:
