But like any event, careful planning and consideration is essential for a successful guest experience. Our guide to festival themed corporate events includes everything you need to know, from venue hire to entertainment and activities. Or, click the button below to talk to an expert now.

Venue Finding and Hire

For an authentic festival experience, an open space with the option to erect a marquee or tent, stalls and a stage area is ideal. Or, we can help you transform a rooftop bar, courtyard or lawn into your very own mini-Glastonbury.

We like to think that almost anything is possible, so whatever your budget and numbers our venue finding specialists will find the perfect solution. Here are a few ideas to get you started…

  • The Oast House, Manchester – This magnificent Teepee located in the Oast House courtyard can be festival ready in no time. With space for 100 seated or 150 standing, it’s ideal for a corporate summer party.
  • Barrio, Shoreditch – This quirky venue fantastically located in the centre of London is no stranger to a festival themed event complete with live music and entertainment. Available for exclusive day time or evening hire, Barrio can host up to 360 guests.
  • Preston Court, Kent – For a true festival feel away from the city, Preston Court is well equipped for a festival themed event with extensive garden space ready for a tent, stage, fairground rides and more.

Festival Entertainment

Festivals are all about the live entertainment, but that doesn’t mean a live band is the only option.

In addition to live music acts, there’s plenty of other activity options that guarantee a festival atmosphere:

  • Tribute acts
  • Walkabout entertainment
  • Interactive games
  • Fairground rides

We can work with you to recommend the best acts perfectly suited to your audience and the vibe you want to create, all within your budget.

Themed Décor

Flags, bunting, festoon lighting, signage and props are key to transforming any venue or outdoor space. Whether it’s a blank canvas where you can let your imagination run wild or a venue with some things already in place, nothing is out of reach. You can even incorporate your company branding and personalised elements into the event to make it totally unique and unforgettable.

Catering

We’re big foodies at Inconnection because we know how much the right catering can add to an event experience. Food trucks and pop-up stands from popular restaurants like Vegan Junkies in Manchester is one way to go, or many venues offer their own catering which can be adapted to suit the festival theme.

Fruity ciders, cocktails and craft beers are also always a favourite at outdoor events, whether it’s festival-themed or not. We can work with suppliers all over the country to create the perfect drinks package which can even include a professional mixologist for added entertainment.
