11 venues and landmarks that turned blue for the NHS
Friday 3 April 2020
With so much sad news surrounding Covid-19 and the impact it is having on the world, the Venue Search London Team want to share positive news which can often be overlooked and show you the London Venues and Landmarks which turned blue for the NHS!
It’s no secret that there has been a huge impact on the Events and Hospitality industry due to Covid-19.
If there is one positive thing we can take from this experience is the unity being shown across the nation with people and industries coming together.
That’s what Gary White and Chuck Crampton wanted to do when they started the #lightitblue campaign. On behalf of the Events and Entertainment industry they wanted to put skills and networks into action by using LED technology to light-up famous venues and landmarks across the United Kingdom to thank those in the NHS who are working tirelessly.
The #lightitblue event took place on 26th March 2020 to coincide with #clapforcarers where households across the UK came together to applaud the NHS and key workers.
Here are 11 venues and landmarks who #lightitblue:
