Woman forced to scrap birthday trip staged a pub crawl at home

A woman who was forced to scrap a birthday trip to Dublin staged a pub crawl at home - by turning each room into one of her favourite bars.

Amy Morgan was unable to enjoy the planned break due to the Covid-19 pandemic so instead her parents and younger sister Poppy helped her celebrate at home.

The family turned every room in their bedroom house in Leeds, West Yorks., into makeshift boozers to help Amy turn 23 in style despite the lockdown.

And her grandparents even made a special appearance while adhering to social distancing measures as the family even turned the garden into a bar.

They played blow up saxophones as Amy "entered" her first bar through the garden after her dad hilariously acted as a bouncer at the gate, checking her ID and giving her a wristband.

Bank worker Amy said: "My grandparents were counting the beat with each other to make sure they were in time, it was my favourite part.

"I might have had a lockdown birthday, but my family made it one of the best birthdays I've ever had.

"It's one I definitely won't forget." The boozy birthday started with a bottomless brunch at 'Manahatta', in the living room, before moving to a 'Bar Fibre' courtyard party outside.

It was then onto 'Dirty Martini' where Amy's dad served up lockdown cocktails - Pornstar Quarantine, Pina Corona and Long Isolation Iced Tea.

The night finished with cheesy dance classics at 'Pop World' - with Amy's dad on the decks - before the birthday girl enjoyed a virtual party and quiz with her friends.

Nightclub flyers were pinned up and light boxes used around the house and on the front door advertising the name of each bar.

Amy's mum even used her camera phone and Snapchat filters to create her own photo booth in the family kitchen to celebrate Amy's birthday on Thursday (9/4).

Amy, a lab manager for a bank, said: "I always do a bottomless brunch for my birthday and see where the afternoon day-drinking takes us, usually Dirty Martini and Fibre 2-4-1.

"My mum suggested the Leeds bar crawl and we all helped to create it.

"At some points I actually felt like I was out in Leeds with my family, they had done such a good job."
