For venues and estates
Pubs, clubs, restaurants, hotels, stadiums, students' unions and estates all reach the same standard by different routes. Whichever you are, it sits on top of Best Bar None: six core competencies, then the Ten, trained online, the evidence checked, tested unannounced and the badge public.
If people come to you for a good time, the Standard is for you. Because the training is online, a forty-seat pub and a sixty-thousand-seat stadium cost the same to train, so every single site pays the same.
Pub, bar, club, restaurant, cafe, hotel, theatre, live music venue or anything else people go out to. The six core competencies, the Ten, one manager trained online, a 45-minute online module for the whole team, then the random testing pool. £95 a year, whatever the size, everything included.
Delivered the way Best Bar None already works: your area managers confirm the Ten in the assessment they already do, the 45-minute module runs on your own learning system under licence, one facilities wording is approved once for the whole estate. We audit one report in ten and test every area. Nothing in your BBN cycle changes.
From grassroots and non-league to the Premier League. Clubhouse, bars, hospitality and concourses, one site on the single venue rate and every ground on the group or estate rate. Stewards briefed on the door rule and the badge on the gate.
The same Ten on the single venue rate. The door becomes the host stand and reception, the pledge covers your dining room and your bedrooms, and the belonging card sits with the bill or on the desk.
Price on application. Welfare team session, accessible facilities policy, reporting route on every stage screen and a post-event belonging survey. Prides included, and a Pride that is Glittered can say so on the day.
Everything below includes accreditation, the badge and window sticker, the map listing, the Inclusion Lead online course, the 45-minute online module for every member of staff with unlimited seats, all templates and staff cards, the belonging QR cards and dashboard, and membership of the testing pool with one re-test included. Prices exclude VAT.

The Glitter Standard is an asset-locked community interest company. Surplus goes to lower prices, free places for small independents, the Ambassador fund and new sectors. Founder pay and any contract with a founder's company are published every year.
One supported improvement window and one re-test are in every fee.
No price, partner or sponsor takes a venue out of the random testing pool. The published rate applies to a chain exactly as to a pub.
The accreditation fee is the only money The Glitter Standard takes. Two of our official partners sell things a Glittered venue might want. You buy them from the partner, at the partner's price, and nothing you buy from anyone changes anything about the badge.
Host, queens and DJ from Glitterbomb Events, with promotion, ticketing and welfare included and the venue keeping 100% of the door and the bar. The Club Night £2,050, The Day Party £1,900, The Drag Brunch £1,600, Bingo or Quiz £1,600, all plus VAT.
Glittered venues get 10% off any Glitterbomb booking. Booking a night never earns a badge; only passing does.
Refreshers, extra content licensed onto your own learning system, training for venues that are not accrediting, and rollout support for estates, from UNight UK, the first approved training provider. The training the badge needs is included in the fee; this is for anything beyond it.
Whoever and wherever you are. These appear on every Glittered poster.
