If you are planning an outdoor event and you want support in doing that then maybe we can help you. We have over a dozen years experience of running events in the outdoors. Whether its help with local authority licenses, eco porta loos and showers or risk assessments and H&S issues, or even finding a beautiful site in the Westcountry, coast, moor, or stately home. Just ask and if we can help we will.
Here are a number of events we're running this/next year;
