Here at Red Masque, we offer a wide selection of fun and exciting equipment to help make your event a huge success. Whether it’s a small corporate fun day for 50 guests or a large scale event for up to 3,000 people, we advertise party and event entertainment for all ages to keep everyone entertained all day long.
There are key aspects you need to take into account when planning such event. From safety and insurance to risk assessments, it’s imperative to have all the necessary legislation in place.
To ensure your Corporate or Family Fun Day is a giant triumph and goes ahead without any hiccups, here some things to think about when planning a fun day.
Whatever equipment you’re hiring be it the side stalls and rodeo bulls or deck chairs and inflatable slides, each piece of equipment will have its own comprehensive risk assessment to ensure it is safe and secure to protect all those on the premises.
It is compulsory to carry out a risk assessment in order to comply with current UK safety regulations and laws. If you have never done this before, rest assured it isn’t as scary as it sounds.
Besides, once all the paperwork is out of the way, you can concentrate on organising a successful event!
Now there is the general risk assessment of the site plan, such as the routes in and out for cars and attendees, and you’ll obviously need a safety plan for any marquees etc. you have, but here’s the complete list of all our products’ risk assessment and method statements.
If you don’t want your fun day to be a wash out, choose the date carefully. Summertime is better for outdoor fun but as we all know with the great British weather; a contingency plan is always needed in case it rains!
Try to do your homework too and find out if any other big community events are taking place around the same time. If the date clashes it will affect how many people turn up.
How will people know about your fun day? Promote the event through local businesses, press, radio, newsletters, emails, digital PR and posters.
Marketing is key, so shout about it through all possible platforms including online blog posts, paid search and social media.
What’s more, shout about it DURING the event. Get a hashtag going on Twitter, encourage spectators to share pictures on Facebook and Instagram and get lots of photos to give the press.
