3 Top Summer Event Tips to take from House Festival 2015

This Thursday we were fortunate enough to be involved in House Festival 2015 in Marble Hill Park. With headlining acts such as Rudimental, James Bay and Pet Shop Boys, and all you can eat food and drink it was a fantastic event to attend and contribute to. Here are three event tips we can take from the festival about planning a summer event:

1. Do you have a favourite street food stand or food van? Consider using them rather than hiring a traditional catering service to add a personal touch to your event. This also allows you to spend time outdoors and enjoy the amazing British summer, but don’t forget to provide shade for your guests! Bonus: you can indulge in your favourite meal spreading your passion with fellow attendees and sparking conversations. At House Festival the variety of options available ranged from Korean ribs and lobster to freshly made waffles and cheese platters.
2. Summertime = flowertime! To add a burst of colour and really liven up a venue, whether that be an outdoor gazebo or a quirky rooftop restaurant, think about incorporating brightly coloured flowers. Additionally, they smell wonderful.
3. Who doesn’t love an afternoon off on a sunny summer’s day? House festival was scheduled to take place from 2pm to 10.30pm, so attendees could choose to take the afternoon off and enjoy the heatwave or they could simply head on over after work. Amazing acts were organised to appear throughout the day and into the evening, so no matter what time guests arrived amazing sights were in store.
   

Have a wonderful sunny weekend!
