Hospitality Offline | mum x The Offline Club | Mental Health Awareness Week
This Mental Health Awareness Week, mum and The Offline Club invite you to press pause and join us for Hospitality Offline - a gentle evening away from screens in support of Hospitality Action and Kelly’s Cause.
Come unwind in good company, share real conversation, and reconnect with what matters - no phones, no pressure, just presence.
“Stepping away from our screens, even briefly, isn’t just a break - it’s a reset. In a world that demands constant connection, choosing to unplug gives us the space to reconnect with ourselves, our creativity, and the people who matter most.”
- Craig Prentice, mum“The concept of the Offline Club chimes with our mission to improve the mental wellbeing of hospitality professionals. Giving ourselves permission to eschew our devices occasionally and live in the moment can only be good for us.”
- Mark Lewis, Hospitality Action

✨ A calming, tech-free space designed for rest and reflection
💬 Meaningful conversation, journaling prompts & quiet corners to decompress

“In hospitality, we have a tendency to be 'always on' and accessible, so making the active decision to take time out from our phones when away from work, has a clear link to improved mental health. This event will enable our community to kick start their digital detox to support their good mental health.”
- Melissa Tomsett, Kelly's Cause
We’d love to see you there.
Phones switched off, minds switched on.
Disclaimer: By trusting us with your beloved phone, you're showing serious faith in humanity! But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible. In case you’re not quite ready to let it go, no worries - just turn it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight!
