For the last Sunday of August, Thrones Bar & Lounge in Bugolobi became a meeting point for food lovers, cocktail enthusiasts and music fans as The Big Meeting brought together revellers for an afternoon of food, drinks and entertainment.
The monthly Singleton experience, hosted by Lynda Ddane, maintained its interactive concept, giving guests an opportunity to make their own cocktails instead of simply ordering drinks from the bar.
The do-it-yourself approach has become one of the defining features of The Big Meeting, allowing guests to experiment with different flavours while also learning more about whisky in a relaxed social setting.
Food also formed a major part of the experience, with Harmonie K and The Food Mechanic serving guests as conversations, cocktails and music filled the venue.

The gathering started on a relaxed note, with guests enjoying food and drinks while socialising before the entertainment gradually took centre stage.
As the afternoon progressed, Kamali, Sir Aludah, DJ Jerry and Saint Trevor provided the music, turning the event from a laid-back Sunday gathering into a livelier party.
The experience is part of The Singleton's effort to create social occasions around its whisky brand, with the focus extending beyond the drink itself to food, music and interaction.
"The Big Meeting is about creating a space where people can come together, enjoy great food and music, and experience The Singleton in a way that feels natural and social," said Simon Lapyem, Brand Manager for The Singleton.
"The DIY element makes the experience even more engaging because guests are not simply watching the experience; they become part of it."
The concept has increasingly become a regular feature on Kampala's lifestyle calendar, with the event held on the last Sunday of every month.
Over time, The Big Meeting has explored different themes and formats, including cocktail-making, music-focused editions and other creative experiences.
The August edition remained close to the event's central idea of bringing people together in a relaxed setting while combining food, drinks and entertainment.
For many of the guests, the afternoon offered an opportunity to unwind, socialise and enjoy music as August came to an end.
With food, cocktails and performances carrying the gathering into the evening, The Big Meeting once again provided Kampala revellers with a lively way to spend the final Sunday of the month.
