We are having an Open Day, May 11-12 2012

You are cordially invited to come to Somerset and see a selection of our wares in the grounds of Sparkford Hall, Sparkford, Somerset. The two days will feature a range of event suppliers covering all the areas of event service. From venue through to interiors.

The open day combines a sumptuous venue, Sparkford Hall; contemporary festival-chic event production by , Potent Productions; some fabulous canvas creations , from Over The Moon Tents; with stylish venue dressing, A Different World, and DJ’s readying tunes for play at this summer’s festivals. The two day’s will showcase what these South-West companies can offer to businesses, individuals, festival & event organisers and wedding couples in planning their special event.

This is the first time the companies have collaborated on an open day, though they have worked together at weddings, launches, parties and festivals for years. They will be showcasing the latest styles and trends that the UK’s vibrant outdoor, festival culture is taking into the wedding and personal party market. All of them work at the some of the UK’s best festivals like Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Lovebox, Glade, Big Chill & Bestival.

The open days will allow potential clients to see a variety of essential event services on display, all set out to illustrate the choices, large range and styles that are offered. The personal, individual, unique and trans formative event clients can achieve will be shown by the combination of a venue, structures, decor, styling, landscape, cuisine and last but not least the friendly can-do attitude of the production team.

You will be able to walk the grounds, admire the house, see the facilities Sparkford has to offer, experience the range of event spaces and styles on offer from a Vintage speakeasy, a Bedouin chill out pad, Corporate lounge, Festival bar & stage and a Country Fayre on the green.

UK Festival Conference & awards

Went along for the first time to this event. Held at the HMV Forum for the daytime discussion based event and later at The Roundhouse.

There were various topics discussed by a variety of industry figures. There was a wealth of experience and knowledge to listen too. Subjects debated included the social media, weather impact, the Olympic’s versus festivals, safety and the state of the industry. Some of the speakers, like Serge Grimeaux, used the event to beat the drum for their services , in his case RFID technology.

Budding festival promoters were encouraged but told to have a ‘great idea’ and to pay their suppliers( otherwise the industry is harmed).

It was useful event and the opportunity to meet familiar faces from the summer.

Particularly enjoyed hearing Melvyn Benns career in festivals at the end of the conference. His humour and passionate love for Festivals was a good listen. He also had some sage advice for promoters.
