FAQ
CAN I BRING A SERVICE DOG?

We have spoken to the venue and they are happy for you to do so, they just need to see evidence that the dog is for service pruposes.

Do you have a risk assessment template you would like us to adhere to?

We do not, all we ask is that you have the necessary corporate and public liability insurance in place and your electrical items are safety checked.

Would you please also send me a copy of your own risk assessment for the event?

Our agreement is with the venue directly and the requirement is for our public liability insurance to be in place. There is also a daily health and safety briefing.

CAN I CHANGE MY TICKET?

Please contact us to discuss upgrade options. The closer we get to the event we are unable to issue refunds as we have to agree numbers with the venue.
