The
Big Bang meets WinterLight
18 November 2008
It may sound a recipe
for an astronomic disaster but this is a far from a calamity.
This is definitely a win, win situation. Local entrepreneur
Max Mason is partnering with Oxford Inspires
for the second year in a row by becoming involved with WinterLight.
This year's sponsorship will work to support more activity
on the streets on the night, and build on The
Big Bang’s key role in helping to bring the spectacular
Luminox to central Oxford in 2007.
Max is the proprietor of The
Big Bang, a much praised and popular sausage restaurant
based in Walton Street. He sees his sponsorship of this year's
WinterLight
once again as a way of supporting his local area and its people.
He said: "As owner of The Big Bang Restaurant, my sole
aim is to buy and support my local environment and supporting
Oxford Inspires is effective in helping to
invest my profits back into Oxfordshire, rather than increasing
a chain restaurant's balance sheet."
"On the evening of 28th November, The
Big Bang will be based in Broad Street selling our fantastically
popular, locally sourced gourmet sausages in hot dog rolls
and hot apple punch to keep people warm as they watch the
festivities. We will be offering a 25% discount on a plate
full of fine tasty local fayre at the restaurant to anyone
who brings in one of the flyers handed out by our staff on
the night."
So on 28th November, stop by and say hello to Max and his
team and be part of the second WinterLight
in Oxford, on the same evening as the traditional Christmas
light switch on. Visit the city’s museums, galleries,
theatres and open spaces which are offering after-dark experiences
from stargazing at the Museum of the History of Science to
fire sculpture and festive fanfares in Bonn Square. Why not
head over to The
Big Bang for dinner afterwards and continue to support
Oxfordshire?
