We recently had the pleasure of providing our handcrafted 4ft picnic benches to a local Christmas market in Devon🎄🍷

Lovingly made by our team, production is already in full swing for next year's event season - because let's face it, every events needs a comfortable place for people to sit down!

We're now taking bookings for 2025 event season, catering both small and large quantity needs for picnic bench hire at all outdoor events🎪✨

We have had an absolute pleasure supplying both our services and equipment to this event over the last couple of years and truly gutted that this year is the last show for Cornwall Volkswagen Jamboree...

But this is also the harsh reality of the events industry at the moment particularly down in this part of the country where various small events are struggling to survive. A number of factors including the rising cost of living, year on year price increase and VAT on ticket sales all contribute to making it that little bit harder for event organisers/managers.

What we want to say is as much as we are a supplier, we are here to support all our customers. We understand how circumstances can change so if you need to rework costs, just chat to us. It is within our hearts to make sure we can still keep putting these gigs on as well as helping each other out, and using those small local businesses where possible.

Let's keep working together and looking out for one another x

Run To The Sun, Cornwall - RTTS

30/04/2024

Its always hard to find words when you've just been a part of 2 spectacular events...

During the peak season it's like a marathon of back-to-back events for us. But then there's that week when we are racing up and down the county to be a part of 2 amazing events that land on the same weekend. Last week was one of those adventures - supplying infrastructure, plant as well as installation,de-rig and event support services to 2 incredible event companies.

Explaining the events industry to people who are unaware of it can be a comparison to a rollercoaster ride.
It's all a bit bonkers, long days become the new norm, finding haribos and squashies in a passenger footwell can improve yours and the crews day drastically and dealing with unexpected twists and turns is just part of the adventure. But despite the chaos, its working with all the amazing suppliers,production and event management teams on site that really make it. The mucking together, helping one another regardless of job titles makes it feel like you've been working together as a team on these events for years and finishing the end of the day with a hug and a "looking forward to seeing you on the next one". Truth is that's the magic of this industry and why we're so passionate about what we do.

A mahoosive thank you to our crew last weekend, you absolutely smashed it and always amaze us.. its all down to you💙

Credits too....

DDA/ADA Cable Ramp🚡

Last year we recognised a growing need in the South West, we identified a product that was in high demand but scarce in availability. So this year we decided to introduce DDA/ADA Cable Ramp to our hire fleet of event stock to supply the event market in the region.

With a 5.5 Degree ramp angle to meet DDA Regulations and featuring 5 channels for discreet cable storage, it's the ideal solution for front of house runs and seamlessly compatible with our standard 5 channel cable ramp also available for hire.

Ground Protection Hire🌱

Being British, its practically ingrained in us to frequently discuss and grumble about the weather, especially now given the amount of rainfall we have had already this year which is why we want to talk about ground protection.

We hold and have access to a large selection of Groundmats available for hire as well as our team being able to install and dismantle. Whilst we recognise that groundmats aren't always the sole solution for preserving ground conditions, they do offer a temporary solution for both pedestrian traffic and vehicular movements.

As much as we are holding out for those brighter days, the unpredictability of the "Great British Summertime" is a constant reminder that preparation is key.

Lets talk about opening hours...🕣💡

As much as we all love a weekend or evening off, we know that working in the events industry, often means being available at "out of office" times. Although our operations don't run 24/7 throughout the year, we do provide support to our customers whenever they need us. From the outset we have embraced the understanding that our industry demands extend far beyond that traditional 8-5 office hours. Typically construction based hire companies charge clients for any work outside these hours. However as The Events Depot is a tailored event supplier we are happy to accommodate to our customers schedule and requirements.

You need your equipment delivering/collecting on a weekend? That's fine by us, we won't charge you a premium. You want to chat to us of an evening with concerns? Not a problem, you won't hear our voicemails.

Whilst we prioritise maintaining a healthy work-life balance and setting boundaries, we also know how important it is as a customer to have a point of contact no matter what the time of the day and to not be left in the dark🌙

This month we got to be apart of something special✨

A team that we frequently work with pulled together an amazing light trail set in the scenic gardens of Dartington with an Alice twist. Whilst we would love to show every detail, we would rather you go check it out yourself to truly appreciate the scale of creativity at play.

Big credits to everyone involved in the creation of this event💖

In a field of easter eggs, be the golden one that everyone is hunting for🥚

As Easter is approaching us not only do we want to wish you a happy easter but we also want to talk about the hunt. As festival season approaches we know that lots of different production companies and events managers are having to spend their time hunting for equipment individually to make their build and break run seamlessly. While we don't get involved with the technical side (we leave that to the professionals😉) we can certainly help make your lives easier by managing all infrastructure and plant requirements as The Events Depot leaving you to focus your time on the important aspects of event planning.

Save yourself the hassle and time of hunting down the right equipment by entrusting us to manage various aspects all under one roof. Consider us your golden egg🐣

Frequently Hired Items for the Event Season🌤️

Last year we had the chance to scope the market and work directly with various on-site teams to establish what the most frequently hired items were and the importance of these products. Not only did we notice a shortage of stock in the South West, we also saw a surge in demand for certain products we least expected to be popular... So what did we do?

Well we started investing not only in our most frequently hired items but also in the most unexpected products... because there's nothing better than someone phoning you and starting a sentence with "random one... but have you got this?"

Yup... we are always worth an ask!

Festival season is almost here and if you're planning an event, now is probably a good time to start getting the quotes in for infrastructure. Ranging from fencing and barrier solutions to temporary lighting and ground protection we've got it covered.

Not only do we hire but we also supply our expert team to come in and look after all site related logistics leaving you to manage the important aspects of the event🎪
