Small businesses have had a tough time of it this year, and we want to help. That’s why we launched our Love Local campaign, throwing our weight behind the organisations that are supporting local food, drink, culture and arts spots through lockdown. Now we’re stepping up our support for independent ventures in New York and London by teaming up with Instagram for a two-day virtual festival that’s all about supporting small business.

On Thursday July 9 and Friday July 10, we’ll be turning over our @TimeOutNewYork and @TimeOutLondon Instagram feeds to some of our favourite businesses across each city, who’ll be running fun, interactive Instagram Live sessions showcasing what they do best.

From cooking demonstrations and fitness classes to DIY beauty workshops and a tutorial on how to repot your cactus, the line-up will demonstrate the huge variety of brilliant small businesses that make London and New York great.

Throughout the event, we’ll also be raising money via Instagram’s donation button, which will go towards Robin Hood in NYC and Hospitality Action in London – two charities doing incredible work supporting small businesses and their employees through the current crisis.

Check out the line-up for Experience:NYC and Experience:LDN below.
