☀️ GOOD MORNING, MY FRIENDS! ☀️

Thankfully, the sun is shining today and Calypso is open all day, serving our homemade Caribbean delights, refreshing drinks and those feel-good reggae vibes. 🇯🇲🎶

Today, though, I’d like to ask for your continued support.

Thanks to our wonderful customers, we’ve enjoyed a great summer and made it through another year during incredibly difficult times for hospitality. We know it isn’t only businesses that are struggling—the cost-of-living crisis is affecting everyone, especially families.

That’s why it’s more important than ever for us all to pull together. Whenever you can, please support your local independent businesses. Money spent locally helps protect local jobs, supports local families and keeps the character and heart in our town.

Please also remember that Calypso isn’t only a restaurant—we’re a fully licensed bar too! 🍺🍹 You’re always welcome to call in just for a pint, a cocktail or a chat. You don’t have to order food, and even stopping by for one drink genuinely helps us keep our doors open.

Calypso has now been serving Blackburn for an incredible 18 years! That is an achievement we’re extremely proud of, but it hasn’t been easy—especially since Covid and throughout the current cost-of-living crisis.

We have a fantastic team, including people who have been with us right from the beginning. Now, as the weather begins to change and the evenings get darker, we need your support more than ever.

Whether it’s a:

🎉 Birthday celebration
🥂 Retirement party
👶 Baby shower
🍽️ Meal for two
🍹 Bottomless lunch
🍺 Or simply one drink at the bar

Every visit makes a real difference.

We have great food, fantastic cocktails, premium beers—including Red Stripe on draft—brilliant music and, most importantly, a friendly team ready to welcome you.

So please, my friends, keep Calypso in mind and support local independent businesses whenever you’re able. Together, we can help them survive and keep our town alive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting us for the past 18 years. ❤️

📢 IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE – DUB & REGGAE DAY CANCELLED 📢
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances involving one of the artists, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel our Dub & Reggae event planned for Saturday 5th September.
With the weather also not looking too kind to us, we feel this is the right decision.
We’re really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the day or had already made plans to come along. ❤️💛💚
The good news is we’re already in talks about rescheduling the event, so hopefully it won’t be too long before Government Sound System & Phoenix Soundsystem can bring those heavyweight basslines to Calypso! 🔊🎶
🌴 CALYPSO WILL STILL BE OPEN AS NORMAL! 🌴
So you can still come down and enjoy: 🔥 Authentic jerk & Caribbean food
🍹 Cocktails
🍺 Ice-cold drinks & Red Stripe
🎶 Plenty of reggae music
❤️💛💚 Our usual friendly Calypso atmosphere by the water
Thank you for understanding and for supporting us. Please share this post so anyone planning to attend knows about the cancellation.
