Working at Events & Festivals - Make Your Requests Known Now!

Posted on Thursday, April 20, 2023

Whether it’s a caravan or campervan, a group of mates wanting to work together or a request to leave a day early or arrive a day late, the time to make these requests is NOW. If you rock up to a festival site hoping to run this request by the Manager, you run the risk of disappointment or worst-case scenario, being turned away from the site.

Event compounds only have so much room, if you’re hoping to bring a campervan our office team can look into how much room is available. If you want to work with a friend, the office can review teams ahead of time. If you have an exam, hospital appointment or wedding that conflicts with the beginning or end of the festival, we can review our staffing numbers ahead of time to authorise either a late arrival or early departure.

None of this can be arranged on the day and an unauthorised departure can affect your future applications. Be sure to get in contact with the office team ASAP if you need to discuss your applications. You can then arrive onsite with peace of mind knowing that you have a spot for your campervan already reserved!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
