Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Well, Stonegate Group have got you covered.
This year, they are turning up the festive cheer by partnering with global branded payments provider Blackhawk Network (BHN) to launch e-gift cards across its managed estate. This will make it even easier to gift unforgettable moments at pubs, bars, and venues nationwide.
Samantha Baldwin, Head of Sales at Stonegate Group, said: “We’re so excited to launch e-gift cards across our managed estate with BHN. They give our guests a whole new way to share the magic of our pubs, bars and venues – from cocktails and celebrations to relaxed lunches or big match days. Our estate is built on inclusivity, and with so many different venues to enjoy, there really is something for everyone.”
E-gift cards can be purchased now – and you can spend them in Stonegate’s managed sites nationwide – from iconic flagship sites like Tattershall Castle and Slug & Lettuce Waterloo, to much-loved brands such as Be At One, Walkabout, Popworld, Heritage Pubs, Pubsmiths and Social Pub & Kitchen.
Excited yet?
E-gifts can be bought directly via each brand’s website, making it easier than ever for people to gift memorable experiences at their favourite venues. Not only that, but guests can also pick up a MiXR e-gift card through Stonegate’s MiXR app – which will be redeemable at any Stonegate managed pub or bar – giving them the freedom to enjoy great times wherever they choose across the entire estate.
Sound good? Well the choice doesn’t stop there… from January, guests will also be able to redeem One4all Gift Cards at all Stonegate managed sites.
Partnering with BHN marks a key milestone in Stonegate’s digital journey, offering guests even more ways to celebrate, socialise, and share experiences with the people who matter.
Danielle McRobert, Senior National Accounts Manager at Stonegate Group, said: “I’m delighted to launch this new partnership and bring e-gift cards to life across our managed estate. With Christmas just around the corner, they’re a fantastic way to gift great experiences, whether you’re introducing someone new to our venues or treating someone who already has a favourite spot. It’s the kind of gift that’s guaranteed to make someone’s day.”
Anna Uprichard, VP of Commerce at BHN, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Stonegate Group, offering eGifts to their existing and new customers just in time for Christmas. Our latest research shows that over a third (35%) of Christmas gifting spend in 2025 will go towards gift cards – an 11% increase year on year. This partnership puts unforgettable customer experiences at the heart of festive gifting, making it easier than ever for people to give and receive memorable pub and restaurant moments across much-loved flagship brands.”
This launch marks the first phase of Stonegate’s gift card strategy, with plans to explore B2B, B2C third-party, and retail partnerships in the future.
