The summer sunshine seems to be finally here (and so it should be in June!) and with it comes a wide range of outdoor events taking place throughout the UK.
Many outdoor events types are synonymous with life in Britain, such as school fêtes, polo matches, village carnivals, outdoor theatre and concerts in beautiful venues, music festivals and so on. Of course, these vary greatly in size, from small village events through to the larger music festivals that attract over 100,000 revellers and festival lovers.
The outdoor event essentials
So, what makes the perfect outdoor event for event organisers?
1 – The weather! It’s amazing what a difference this can make to the overall success of an event, even with advance ticket sales. Everyone wants to see the sunshine, this is a huge factor.
2 – Provide a range of quality caterers, and lots of them! – Inevitably, for your visitors, food and drink will be an important factor. The nature of your event and the size of your event will ultimately determine what you plan to offer whether this be burger vans, baked potato vans, specialist sausage or even fresh crêpes vendors. Make sure you get a range of food offerings and that you have enough to cater for everyone. The last thing your guests want to be doing is standing in unreasonably large queues waiting to be served. This can be a big influencing factor in determining people’s enjoyment of your event. The same should be said for your mobile bar areas or drinks tents, for example.
3 – Hire a range of outdoor furniture in the right quantities. When it comes to festivals, outdoor concerts and similar events, people still need somewhere to sit, eat and relax. Large outdoor furniture hire companies such as Event Hire UK always endeavour to provide a large range of different furniture types to ensure that their clients are able to hire the best furniture for their event, being as not all outdoor events are the same. Event Hire UK, for instance, is able to provide plastic patio chairs in their hundreds along with the accompanying plastic patio tables in either white or green. Likewise, you can hire teak tables and chair sets along with matching. And how about hiring picnic benches so that your visitors can enjoy the food on offer in comfort with their friends and families. These are just examples of the type of patio furniture hire and outdoor furniture hire products that are available in our furniture hire online range.
