Sadly our summer has been a little wet of late. What does this mean for festivalgoers? Well apart from muddy wellies and a few lost coins, it can be uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst.

⛈️Sudden rain and excessive heat can introduce completely different problems at festivals. Rain can greatly reduce ground quality, turning footfall hotspots to mush. Equipment can get wet, water can gather in places and cause flooding. Excessive heat can prove dangerous to festivalgoers, with a risk of dehydration and dusty conditions. ☀️ 🔥

📝We have put together some top tips on how to pre-plan and help avoid some of these problems from occurring. By having a fast reactive ground team, we can react to problem areas. Whether that be pumping water from areas that are gathering water, providing water to the masses or placing additional ground protection panels, our teams can help provide assistance where needed.

At Big Red Beard, we live for events season. With much of our work going on behind the scenes, we help organisers build the site and secure the event boundaries. It may not be as exciting as the headline acts, but it's absolutely essential in keeping festivalgoers safe and secure.

From heavy duty and front of stage barriers that keep the stage area secure, to security fencing and crowd control barriers that assist in effective foot traffic; we supply, build and deconstruct it all.

Create private areas protected from the weather ☔

Despite the arrival of the summer season, we can’t always rely on good weather – especially in the UK 🙄

Temporary pop-up or ‘easy-up’ marquis and gazebos are versatile spaces that can be used for a range of services.

It’s not uncommon to implement them in events planning to provide a protected area for market stalls and traders or simply as a resting spot for festival goers 🎪

For some events, the presence of site vehicles can be essential to successful operations.

In either case, Big Red Beard will work with you to determine your needs ✅

Top tips for planning the perfect event 👌

Every event planner should be checking the weather forecast like your event depends on it – because it does.

Weather-proofing your event is one of the most important aspect of event planning. In the UK, more often than not, rain is as much a part of the scenery as the rolling hills. Be prepared with covered areas (our event gazebos are the ideal solution to this), rain plans, ground protection, and a good attitude of "the show must go on."
