Our Content Mission
DesignMyNight (part of the Access Group) celebrates all things hospitality and shares its expertise in industry with over 3.9 million users a month. From the best in restaurants and bars, to pubs and experiences, we're here to champion all that it has to offer.
We serve both the UK and Australia, in both major cities, and smaller regional towns, and are growing year on year.
DesignMyNight not only helps people discover something great to do, we help you, our users, to book in too. From buying tickets to booking in at a restaurant, we see ourselves as an end-to-end solution for your going-out needs. Partnered with our internal B2B tools to provide this service: Access Collins (Bookings), Access Tonic (Ticketing), Access Soda (Vouchers).
We aim to create and build guides that speak to our users when it comes to going out, focusing on searches that our users make, and content that might pique their interest, from new openings and events, to hidden spots, cool places to go and great things to eat.
Our office is in London, but our team can be found UK-wide, from employees in Brighton, to Manchester.

Our Approach To AI Content
DesignMyNight does not use AI tools or services to generate content. Our content and editorial pieces are written by humans, for humans, and we stand by our policy to create based on this. We commit to a team of industry-aware writers, who are prolific in writing factual, engaging and unique content across various hospitality trends and experiences.
We do not use AI to generate headlines, text or images on DesignMyNight.com, and we do not use AI to support curation, such as items or the venues or events which may feature in our listings.
If we plan to use AI in our editorial toolkit in the future, we will share the information surrounding this on this page.
