MESSAGE FROM THE (NEW) PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT – BEV OSBORNE

I get called a lot of things – “Queen of Disasters” and “Harbinger of Doom” spring most readily to mind – so being elected as NOEA President in December 2025 is a title I’m still getting used to. But it is a huge privilege and pleasure to follow in the footsteps of Tom Clements, and all of the other Presidents who have supported NOEA members for the last 45 years.

Tom has steered us through one of the most challenging times in recent history, and when we think back to “the covid days” it’s easy to forget what it felt like for the Events Industry, the profound sense of sadness that we all shared when everything we had worked so hard for was being shelved. But here we are, in 2026, and thanks to the unwavering support of Tom, Susan and the NOEA Council we have been able to “Build Back Better”, and we continue to grow.

At the heart of NOEA are people – and nothing demonstrated this more than the NOEA Awards Ceremony at Bath in December. A record number of nominations were received, and the standard was incredibly high. The judges were faced with the challenging task of selecting the shortlist and ultimately the winners, and I’d like to add my congratulations to everyone, and my thanks to all of our generous Premium Partners and Award Sponsors who enable the event to take place.

So what does 2026 look like? There will be challenges – the budget in November 2025 hasn’t made it easy for any of us, and at the Annual Convention we discussed how we need to strive to be a “critical friend” for our clients, providing them with advice and solutions that deliver the best value for the budgets they have, whilst not compromising on important aspects such as staff salaries, health,

safety and wellbeing. We also await further Government guidance for those in scope of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (known colloquially as Martyn’s Law) and note the clear message that the guidance is being designed to be easy to follow, needing neither particular expertise not the use of third-party products or services. There will be an implementation period of at least 24 months (from April 2025) before the Act comes into force, and we will continue to signpost NOEA members to the latest information and advice as it becomes available.

But there will also be opportunities – I want all event professionals to feel like they can (and should) belong to NOEA, whether they are freelancers, micro companies or multinational businesses and events. NOEA is for everyone who delivers quality and best practice in the events industry. We need to continue to welcome new people into our industry – school leavers, career changers; those returning to work; and those who didn’t think they could have a career doing the thing they love. We should be happy to share our knowledge and advice with them – lets embrace mentorship as a positive quality and something we can all do; and as NOEA we will look to build on our growing reputation as educators within the events industry through things like the NOEA Convention, and our activations at events such as the Event Production Show.

But a key element of being the NOEA President is to project your voices – and to do that, I need to hear them. Contact me, tell me what changes you’d like to see to help our industry grow, tell me where the problems are – and we can try and bring about change that will help everyone.

I wish you all the very best for 2026 with everything you are doing – and I look forward to celebrating all the successes at the end of the year.

By Bev Osborne, President, National Outdoor Events Association

NOEA PRESIDENT TOM CLEMENTS STEPS DOWN

TOM CLEMENTS Steps Down After Six Years of Transformational Leadership

4th December 25, UK: The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) has announced that President, Tom Clements, will be stepping down after six years of transformational service, marking the end of one of the most significant leadership periods in the association’s 45-year history.

Tom took on the presidency in November 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, immediately becoming its leader during the most challenging era the industry has ever faced. Throughout this period, and the years that followed, he became a defining voice for outdoor events across the UK, guiding the industry through crisis, survival, and ultimately, renewal.

Central to Tom’s tenure was his unwavering focus on skills, people and talent. Recognising early on that the long-term impact of the pandemic would sit not only in economics but in the disruption to the industry’s workforce, Tom championed a skills-led recovery. His Build Back Better campaign became one of NOEA’s most recognised and unifying

initiatives, placing people, diversity and professional development at the heart of the industry’s renewal.

That momentum continued with Better Back Bold, a forwardfacing call for confidence, resilience and ambition in the post-pandemic era. Both programmes have since become touchstones for the industry’s approach to futureproofing and strengthening its workforce, ensuring NOEA remained not only relevant but influential in shaping national conversations.

Across his six years as President, Tom also played a key role in elevating NOEA’s advocacy, championing professionalism across the sector, expanding the association’s partnerships, and reinforcing its commitment to operating responsibly in a changing world. Today, NOEA stands stronger, more visible, and more engaged than at any point in its history, a legacy shaped significantly by Tom’s leadership.

Reflecting on his time as President, Tom Clements said: “It has been an absolute honour to serve as President of NOEA. When I took on the role during the darkest days of the pandemic, our industry was facing challenges none of us could have imagined. But what I witnessed then, and continue to see today, is an industry built on incredible people, deep expertise, and unmatched resilience. My focus has always been on supporting and strengthening that talent. I leave the presidency proud of what we have achieved together, and confident that NOEA is stronger, more influential and more representative than ever.”

Susan Tanner, CEO of NOEA, added: “Tom has been an extraordinary President. His leadership during the pandemic and beyond demonstrated courage, clarity and genuine care for the people who make events happen. His commitment to skills and talent has shaped the strategic direction of the association and left a legacy that will benefit our industry for years to come. Tom steps down with our absolute gratitude and admiration, and we look forward to announcing his successor in the new year.”

Taking on the presidency as of January 2026 will be Bev Osborne, founder of Training 4 Resilience, who commented, “It’s hard to quantify just what a contribution Tom has made to NOEA, he’s been a massive part of the association as president, but also before then as Vice President and supporting our members in Scotland for well over a decade. He’s a massive part of NOEA’s story.”

MESSAGE FROM THE PAST PRESIDENT

PAST PRESIDENT – TOM CLEMENTS

It’s with a certain amount of perspective that I write this foreword after stepping down as President of the National Outdoor Events Association.

It’s a moment that is softened, safe in the knowledge that I’ll remain on the NOEA Council as Past President, and continue to chair NOEA Scotland, an area close to my heart. It was a decision that coincides with my retirement from Specialized and a very deliberate desire to find a better balance between work and life.

It feels like the right moment.

When I took on the role in November 2019, I had no real sense of what lay ahead. But nothing could have prepared me for the rollercoaster ride that was to come. Within months, our industry was facing, arguably, the greatest challenge in its history. Overnight, I found myself in the position of what I’ve often called a ‘reluctant wartime leader’ setting the strategy for the association, and supporting our members, through a period defined by closures, uncertainty, tragedy and the very real threat to livelihoods.

Those years were tough. There’s no point pretending otherwise. But in the middle of all that, one guiding principle kept coming back to me: people.

Talent, skills, experience, these are the foundations of our industry. My concern throughout the pandemic wasn’t just survival in the moment, but what would be left afterwards. Let’s not lose our people. Let’s protect them, nurture them, and make sure that when events

returned, they returned stronger.

That thinking shaped our approach to Build Back Better, and later Better Back Bold. With the support of the NOEA Council, and working closely alongside our CEO Susan Tanner and the team, we focused on creating an environment where skills could be developed, careers could be sustained, and new talent could find a route into the industry.

I genuinely believe that in those six years, NOEA has helped lay foundations that will last far beyond my presidency. It’s a source of immense pride to me to be able to say that.

Today, as we celebrate NOEA’s 45th year, the association remains strong. The industry is strong. And despite everything it has been through, it is better, bolder and more robust than it was six years ago.

There are, and always will be, challenges ahead.

But seeing the next generation of event professionals coming through, skilled, committed and ambitious, into an industry growing in confidence, professionalism and status around the world, should be something that every NOEA member can gain strength from.

My thanks go to those members, our partners, the Council, and everyone across the industry who has supported me over the years. It has been an honour to serve as President of NOEA, and a privilege to be part of an industry that continues to adapt, evolve and look forward.

For me, the next chapter awaits, and, as ever, I look forward to seeing you again, somewhere.

Thank you.

By Tom Clements, Past President, National Outdoor Events Association

VICE PRESIDENTS – ALYSHA SARGENT AND ANDREW MCQUILLAN

Hi all, and welcome to the 2026 Yearbook.

As we moved through 2025, there was a tangible sense that the events industry found its feet again. For the first time in several years, events felt like they were operating at pre-panic levels — not just in scale, but in confidence. Audiences returning , clients planning further ahead, and production schedules once again feeling ambitious rather than cautious. While the lessons of recent years remain fresh, there is renewed energy across the sector that is hard to miss.

One of the most encouraging aspects has been the atmosphere on site. There has been a great sense of camaraderie and teamwork at events this year, with crews pulling together to deliver under pressure and support one another through long days and complex builds. After a challenging period for many in the industry, that shared purpose feels particularly meaningful. There is a renewed appreciation for collaboration — between suppliers, production teams, venues and clientsand it shows in the way events are being delivered.

2025 was also a reminder of just how connected the events industry is. Over the past year, my path has crossed with many of the same people time and again — familiar faces popping up on different sites, in different roles, across the country. That sense of continuity is reassuring and speaks to the strength of relationships within the sector. It’s an industry

MCQUILLAN

built on trust, reputation and shared experiencereconnecting with long-standing colleagues has been one of the highlights of last year for me.

That said, the industry is not without its challenges. Rising costs continue to affect every aspect of event delivery, from transport and staffing to infrastructure and energy. Budget pressures require ever more creativity and careful planning to maintain quality without compromise. Alongside this, adverse weather conditions remain an ongoing concern. Extreme weather is no longer an occasional risk but a regular consideration, demanding robust contingency planning and flexible approaches to production.

Despite these hurdles, the prevailing mood across the industry is one of resilience and optimism. The ability to adapt, problem-solve, and deliver, often under less-than-ideal conditions, is embedded in the DNA of event professionals. That adaptability is what has carried the sector through difficult times and is now helping it thrive once again.

Looking ahead, there is much to be excited about. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing members and industry colleagues at the Event Production Show later this year. It will be a great opportunity to reconnect, share insights, and celebrate how far the industry has come — while also looking ahead to what’s next.

If 2025 is anything to go by, the events industry is not just back, but moving forward with renewed strength, unity, and purpose.

Alysha Sargent, Vice President

CHIEF

I would like to thank our sponsors for everything they have done. Our premium supporters, Qdos and See Tickets, have helped us enormously in terms of money, time, and soft power.

That is not to diminish the support from so many others. Wasserman, Laceys Solicitors, Postcode Lottery, NCASS, Eventit, Training 4 Resilience, GL Events, and the University of Wales have all contributed significantly. I would also like to thank Catch the MICE and Joi, who essentially gave us a free event app which was well used at the Awards and Convention.

The NOEA brand continues to grow stronger. This is thanks to the excellent work of the marketing team, Al Turen 8 PR and Luke and Sarah at Slice, our investment in social media, the shows we support such as EPS and the Showman’s Show, and the ongoing commitment of our partners and supporters.

Our Convention and Awards have continued to exceed expectations. The new schedule worked well, the evening attendance numbers were the best ever, and we secured new, high-quality speakers who delivered good content.

We continue to invest time and energy in the Event Medical Association. Engagement with government has increased, with two roundtable meetings held with Shadow DCMS Ministers. While there has been further change, the initial engagement with Nigel Huddleston has been promising for next year.

NOEA continues to grow in respect and now seeks to engage fully with government and to plough its own furrow. We are aiming to increase engagement through direct contact with MPs and AllParty Parliamentary Groups, with a stronger focus on policy and on the wants and needs of our sector.

Finally, I would like to wish our members the very best success in 2026.

LINKEDIN

The key to building a successful trade organisation is in creating a community where members can share good practice, great ideas and lessons they’ve learnt from their time in the industry.

As part of this, NOEA launched a brand-new LinkedIn page in 2019 which now has over 6000 members from across the events industry. We regularly share information and ideas from our members, media partners and wider industry experts – all of which is designed to promote growth and improvement for us all.

Susan Tanner CEO,

National Outdoor Event Association

If you have any good news stories you would like us to share across LinkedIn then please don’t hesitate to send these over to susan@noea.org.uk and we’ll get them out there for you.

Thank you to everyone who has followed and engaged us in the past few months. If you haven’t then please pop on and give us a follow. Building our community can only be beneficial for all of us!

NOEA SCOTLAND

CHAIR – TOM CLEMENTS

The last few years have been a bit up and down for NOEA members in Scotland with quiet a large change in membership, but as always I am confident that 2026 will be a good year for NOEA members but especially NOEA Scotland members.

We now have so much diversity within the Scottish Events Industry there always seem to be an event on and what was maybe a so called “Close season” during the winter it no longer seems to be with Halloween, Firework and Christmas illumination events, it really now is becoming an all year round industry.

Sadly Scottish Government hasn’t helped us (or Westminster come to think about it) when they could have done so much more, starting with rate relief, like they have with the leisure industry but we will keep fighting that one.

I am honoured to sit on the Event Industry Advisory Group, which came together during Covid to represent the industry in gaining help and support and still fighting for industry needs and requirements.

I must also mention NOEA Scotland’s Vice Chairperson, Jonathan Reid, Jonathan retired from the industry earlier after a number of years, once of Portakabin Events and latterly QDOS, known throughout the country, it was very rare you visited and event that didn’t have cabins, toilets and showers etc organised by Jonathan. When QDOS opened in Scotland, Jonathan was the man they turned to and he successfully built them a Scottish business with the turnover in the millions. Jonathan’s bubbly personality his freshness and can do attitude will be missed and in my opinion too good a person for the industry to lose, but I am sure after a rest he might be back somewhere!

Hope this year is an excellent one for NOEA Scotland members and indeed the events industry as a whole.

RICHARD BATE ELECTED AS THE 59TH PRESIDENT OF IOSH

NOEA Council member Richard Bate has been elected as the President of the Chartered Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH), and has called upon its members, farm employers and the agricultural sector to make farming a safer, less stressful way to make a decent living. Richard clearly identifies the crossover between the events and entertainment sector as farmers diversify to support their incomes in a challenging economic environment.

Having grown up in a farming community in North Wales, Richard laments the fact that there’s become an ominous acceptance that farming will account for more workers’ deaths and serious injuries than any other industry sector. Every worker deserves to go home safe, healthy and well at the end of the day. Health and safety isn’t just about rules or compliance. It’s about protecting people’s lives and livelihoods and enabling them to realise their potential. When health and safety is managed well, it doesn’t just prevent harm; it creates better work, stronger businesses, and a healthier society.

Good health and safety management prevents tragedies before they happen. It helps build workplaces that are productive, inclusive, and sustainable. It’s a foundation for wellbeing, trust, and long-term success.

Sadly, this doesn’t always happen. In the UK’s agriculture, forestry and fishing industry, 23 people died in an accident at work in 2024-25. The rate of 8.23 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers makes it by some distance the most dangerous industry in the UK. The fact that this sector accounts for 20 per cent of fatal injuries at work in the UK, despite only making up one per cent of the workforce, further highlights the issue. On top of this, in 2024-25, four members of the public were killed by work activities in the industry – two of them children.

It is important to remember that behind every number is a person, whether a colleague, a friend, or a family member.

When we talk about 1.9 million people living with work-related ill health in Great Britain, we’re talking about individuals struggling with pain, work-related stress, depression or anxiety, or work-related musculoskeletal disorder that could have been prevented. Each statistic is a reminder that health and safety is about people, not paperwork. The numbers show the scale of the challenge, but they also drive us to act, learn, and ensure every story that follows is safer and healthier.

IOSH and NOEA share a collective challenge to strive for a better, safer, and healthier world of work for everyone. We believe that no one should be harmed by their job, and that through education, empowerment and culture, we can make lasting change. As the world’s leading professional body for occupational safety and health, IOSH is uniquely placed to equip people and organisations with the knowledge and skills to make that vision a reality.

It’s time to come together, regardless of the sectors we represent, and continue our drive toward safer, healthier workplaces for everyone.

OUR OBJECTIVES:

• To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events

• To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance

• To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies

• To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support

• To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers

• To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing

• To negotiate discounted goods and services for members

Welcome to the Event Medical Association, a newly founded association, representing medical providers working within the events industry.

In short, if you care about the quality of care that events give to their audiences and spectators, we’d love for you to be a part of this association.

This is a sector of the industry that is currently underrepresented, not always understood and in need of a collective voice to respond to proposed legislation and to bring a positive influence to the industry by gathering data, intelligence and insight.

At the Event Medical Association, we are bringing together businesses with shared values around quality care for the people we look after and support for the practitioners who provide it.

We also seek to work with event organisers to raise awareness of what ‘good’ looks like, their own obligations to their audiences, and how we, as an association can ensure the very best services are provided, without compromise.

The founding of this association underlines the need for this level of representation and the ambition of event medical providers to continually challenge the quality of what we do, sharing learning and best practice across the sector.

We’d like to thank both the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) and The Showman’s Show for their support in setting up this association.

EVENT MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

The Event Medical Association was formed two years ago with huge support from NOEA and launched at the Showman’s Show in October 2023. Current and future NOEA members who provide event medical services are automatically enrolled in EMA, unless they choose to opt out.

The objectives of the Association are:

• To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events

• To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance

• To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies

• To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support

• To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers

• To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing

• To negotiate discounted goods and services for members

Event medical providers have traditionally worked in silos and tended to regard each other with a degree of suspicion! This is slowly beginning to change and members are discovering the benefit of talking to each other, sharing learning and passing on useful ideas. Coming together as colleagues rather than competitors we have a huge amount of accumulated wisdom and hard-worn experience to share, which can only benefit our businesses and ultimately the casualties we look after. We are all aware that the care provided at events can vary widely and we share an aspiration to be at the forefront of the drive towards higher standards across the sector.

EMA has been actively involved in consultations on the coming CQC regulation, the formulation of the new Event Healthcare Standard and annual reviews and updates of the medical chapter of the Purple Guide. We are forging links with other groups across the whole spectrum of event healthcare.

Two years on from our launch, we are looking to raise our profile and extend our activities and with this in mind we are seeking new members and encouraging existing ones to become more involved. We hope colleagues in NOEA will help us by telling the event medical providers they work with about the Association and urging them to join us, to enjoy the benefits of both EMA and NOEA membership.

Event Medicine Regulation: What we know now, what we don’t, and what it could mean for events

In March 2025, the Event Medical Association (EMA) published an explainer on the direction of travel for event medicine regulation in England, focusing on two linked developments: the intended expansion of Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulation into event healthcare, and the parallel development of a new Event Healthcare Standard (EHS) to define expectations and underpin future oversight.

It is now January 2026, around ten months after that EMA update, and one theme continues to dominate conversations across the sector: uncertainty. Medical service providers and event organisers alike are trying to understand what will change, when it will change, and what “compliance” will look like in practice. In such an environment, stakeholders may be tempted by premature offers of training and advice – at a price.

This blog shares what can be said with confidence from the public record, highlights what remains unclear, and sets out the practical implications for event organisers and medical providers.

The core shift: event healthcare in England will fall under CQC regulation

The policy direction centres on the regulated activity known as the treatment of disease, disorder or injury (TDDI). In simple terms, the government has been working to remove exemptions that have historically kept temporary arrangements for event healthcare outside the CQC’s scope. When those exemptions are removed as proposed, organisations providing TDDI at events under temporary arrangements will be required to operate within a regulated framework and register accordingly.

It is also worth noting that this is an England regulatory issue in the first instance, as it is tied to the CQC. However, the EMA noted that devolved nations may consider broadly similar approaches over time, which is one reason this is being followed closely across the UK-wide events community, as many event organisers and medical service providers work across the devolved nations.

First aid is not expected to become regulated, and that distinction matters. A key reassurance in the documentation is that first aid is expected to remain unregulated. The boundary between first-aid and

medicine, however, is also where some of the practical complexity lies. If first aid remains outside regulation while TDDI becomes more firmly regulated, the operational gap between “first aid provision” and “clinician-led medical care” becomes more consequential for events. It affects procurement, staffing models, governance requirements, and potentially cost and availability.

The Event Healthcare Standard: an on-record target of mid-2026

The EHS is the missing piece many organisers have been waiting for. It is intended to define what “good” looks like for event healthcare arrangements and to provide a consistent benchmark for assessment. The Event Healthcare Standard is being authored by a group of clinicians and sector experts, overseen by a review panel.

Crucially, a published ministerial answer indicated an aim to publish the standard in mid-2026. As of January 2026, the most reliable position is straightforward: the EHS appears to be progressing, but it has not yet been formally published, and until it is, a degree of uncertainty remains.

Why the uncertainty persists: a public direction of travel, but limited operational detail

It is common to hear that the CQC is “silent” on this topic. In practice, the sector has had to piece together the direction of travel from Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) consultation documents, the government response, and parliamentary statements, rather than from a single definitive operational roadmap. The DHSC consultation materials indicated an intention to implement changes in the 2025–2026 financial year, with transitional arrangements under consideration to allow the sector time to adapt. Yet key practical questions remain open, including how transitional periods will be structured, how responsibilities will be interpreted across different event types, and how quickly enforcement expectations will tighten once the EHS is live.

The risk everyone is watching: regulation driving a “downshift” to first aid only

One of the most important points in the government response is also one of the most concerning. DHSC

explicitly acknowledged feedback that, rather than raising standards, a regulatory change could unintentionally encourage some events into commissioning first aid only (because it remains unregulated), even where a sensible risk assessment would support clinician-led care.

This is not a theoretical concern. The events sector is pragmatic, often operating under tight budgets and supply constraints. If regulated provision becomes harder to source or more expensive, there is a credible risk that some events will reduce the scope of the medical care. The challenge for policymakers, providers and organisers alike is to avoid a scenario where regulation narrows access to appropriate care rather than improving it.

Volunteers and clinicians: the practical tension that needs clarity

The EMAs March 2025 article also highlighted a sensitive operational issue: regulation is typically triggered by the activity delivered, not by whether the clinician is paid or volunteering. That matters because many events have historically relied on experienced clinicians volunteering their time. If TDDI provision is more firmly regulated in the future, it may not be realistic or lawful for healthcare professionals to volunteer their time outside a regulated provider framework.

This is one of the areas where the eventual EHS and transitional guidance will be especially important. The sector needs a model that supports governance and patient safety without unintentionally dismantling responsible, well-run volunteer involvement.

A note on “getting ahead” of incomplete legislation and standards

We also want to avoid a familiar pattern: a gap between intention and implementation being filled by overconfident advice and opportunistic consultancy.

A parallel often raised is Martyn’s Law. For accuracy, the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, and public discussion continues about implementation periods before the regime is fully in force.

The lesson applies well to event medicine: it is sensible to prepare, but not to pay for certainty that does not yet exist. Until the EHS is published and transitional arrangements are confirmed, anyone claiming to offer definitive answers should be treated with caution.

What organisers can do now—without pretending the final rules are known

Even in a period of uncertainty, there are constructive steps that will stand up well under almost any future framework.

Organisers can start by being clear internally and with their medical providers about the level of care being commissioned. If your provision extends beyond first aid to clinician-led assessment and treatment, it is worth documenting that rationale carefully through a medical risk assessment and recording how your chosen provider meets the relevant governance expectations. It is also practical to ask providers direct questions and keep the answers on file: are they CQC registered (and for what scope), what is their readiness plan if registration becomes necessary, and what clinical governance systems do they operate?

Just as importantly, organisers should be cautious about reacting to uncertainty by downgrading to first aid only unless that decision can be defended objectively. DHSC has already acknowledged the risk that this could happen, and it would be unfortunate if the pursuit of higher standards produced the opposite outcome in the field.

What providers can do

now—without overselling

certainty

For providers, the most credible approach is likely to be calm, structured readiness. Mapping current activity against the definition of regulated activities, particularly TDDI, helps identify where future regulation may apply. Reviewing governance documentation, medicines management, incident reporting and competency frameworks is also likely to be time well spent, as those building blocks tend to be relevant regardless of how the final standard is expressed.

In the near term, transparency will matter. Providers who are clear about what they know, what they do not know, and how they are preparing for plausible scenarios will help stabilise a market that is currently shaped as much by rumour as by documentation.

What to watch for next

The two milestones most likely to reduce uncertainty are, first, the publication of the Event Healthcare Standard (with an on-record target of mid-2026), and second, a clear statement of transitional arrangements for providers delivering event healthcare that fall within regulated activities.

Until then, the best approach for the sector is steady and evidence-led: keep risk assessments robust, select providers with credible governance, document decisions carefully, and resist commercial or social pressure to claim certainty before the official framework is in place.

NOEA Convention Celebrates Landmark Success

27th November 25, UK: The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) celebrated one of its most successful conventions to date yesterday, rounding off an exceptional 45th anniversary year with record participation, high-level industry debate and a renewed confidence for the future of the UK outdoor events sector.

Returning to Bath this year, and following a glittering NOEA Awards ceremony the night before, the day was equal measure of insight, reflection and forward-looking conversation. Together, the Awards and Convention marked a milestone moment for the association, demonstrating the strength, maturity and collective ambition of the outdoor events community.

This year’s Convention centred on Live45, a theme that explored where the industry stands in 2025 and how it continues to evolve in the years to come. A packed programme showcased leading voices from across the sector, including keynote speaker Goc O’Callaghan, who delivered a dynamic state-of-theindustry address analysing trends from the economy to technology, and the changing shape of UK live experiences.

Goc’s session was followed by a panel discussion, which included James Thomas, Qdos Event Hire and

Caroline Davis, OPUS Arts Events. The session was just one of a number of panels and interviews that offered delegates practical insight on everything from resilience, talent, business growth, marketing, sport event operations and the future skills pipeline.

Susan Tanner, CEO of NOEA, said: “This year’s Convention was the perfect conclusion to an extraordinary 45th anniversary for NOEA. The energy in the room reflected just how far our industry has travelled and how committed we all are to building a responsible, confident and sustainable future. The conversations today, from talent and innovation to collaboration and professionalism, underline the strength of our community and the shared ambition that defines it. NOEA has never been stronger, and we move into the new year with real momentum.”

President Tom Clements opened the day by acknowledging the association’s proud 45-year heritage while emphasising the pivotal role NOEA continues to play as an advocate for outdoor events nationwide. The combined success of the Convention and the largest-ever NOEA Awards signals a confident step into 2026, with NOEA at it’s strongest point in its long history, and with the sector more united than ever.

NOEA AWARDS CELEBRATE THE BEST OF 2025 AWARDS

NOEA Closes Its 45th Anniversary Year in Style with Record Breaking Awards Ceremony

27 November 25, Bath, UK: The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) closed its landmark 45th anniversary year with its biggest-ever Awards Ceremony, celebrating the largest number of entries in the organisation’s history and a sellout audience at the Roman Baths and Pump Room in Bath.

The 2025 NOEA Awards brought together the UK’s leading event professionals for a night that reflected the strength, creativity and resilience of the outdoor events industry.

Judges remarked that standards across the board had risen dramatically, making this year’s decisions the most challenging yet. Against this backdrop of exceptional quality, the evening’s winners provided a powerful snapshot of an industry setting new benchmarks in excellence.

The celebration began with Continental Drifts securing Best Accessibility & Inclusion Initiative, recognised for embedding inclusion as a defining part of their organisation. Outstanding teamwork was a major theme of the night, with Outdoor Places Unusual Spaces & Birmingham City Council named Best Events Team – Company and

Falkirk Council receiving Best Events Team – Council for their progressive, community-centred approach.

George Bacon was honoured with Best Support to the Event Industry, recognising more than three decades of dedication, while this year’s Unsung Hero awards celebrated two outstanding individuals: Clare Wells of Shropshire Festivals, praised for her immediate impact and professionalism, and Paul Hooper of ASAO, recognised for his long-standing and influential contribution to agricultural and rural events.

Two major Event of the Year categories showcased the diversity and ambition of the sector. CarFest was awarded Event of the Year –Private Sector for its community impact and dynamic evolution, while Swansea Council triumphed in Event of the Year – Local Authority Sector for its forwardthinking approach to delivering major public celebrations.

Supplier excellence remained a cornerstone of the ceremony. NoNonsense Group took home Event Supplier of the Year –Infrastructure for standout delivery, while Onyx Specialist Services Ltd was named Event Supplier of the

Year – Services for their innovation, care and comprehensive support. The night also featured a series of emotional highlights. AeroAVA’s thrilling collaboration with the Edinburgh Tattoo earned the Judges’ Award, while two of the industry’s most respected figures were honoured with special awards: David Tunnicliffe received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Johnnie Cole-Hamilton of The Royal & Ancient Golf Club was presented with the President’s Award.

Reflecting on the night, Susan Tanner, CEO of NOEA, said: “To end our 45th anniversary year with record entries and a record audience is an extraordinary achievement for our community. The calibre of this year’s winners shows the innovation, passion and talent that continues to shape the UK’s outdoor events industry. Tonight has been a reminder of just how far we’ve come, and how bright the road ahead truly is.”

The 2025 Awards offered a fitting and uplifting conclusion to NOEA’s anniversary year, a celebration not just of winners, but of an industry moving forward with ambition, confidence, and purpose.

Review and Outlook for 2026

By Glenn A. J. Bowdin, Chair, UKEVENTS

Last year was a pivotal year for UKEVENTS and the UK events industry. In an environment of economic and political uncertainty, the sector has demonstrated ingenuity and influence, reaffirming the UK’s position as a global “safe harbour” for events and making a strong contribution to national economic growth. During 2025, UKEVENTS worked closely with its Partners and stakeholders to elevate the profile, influence and impact of the events industry across government and beyond. NOEA has been actively involved, with Susan Tanner and Tom Clements serving as Vice Chairs on our Executive Committee, ensuring that the important outdoor events sector is well-represented in our activities. A major focus of our activity continues to be government engagement and advocacy. UKEVENTS and our Partners have actively been involved in parliamentary consultations, AllParty Parliamentary Group engagements and departmental meetings, ensuring that the voice of the events industry is heard in discussions ranging from visa reform to industrial strategy. Industry representation at key events and forums, including industry exhibitions, summits and a select committee inquiry, has reinforced UKEVENTS’ role.

One of the highlights of the year was UKEVENTS’ parliamentary exhibition held in Westminster in February, which highlighted the scale and value of the UK events industry to MPs and Lords. This event raised awareness of the sector’s role in supporting local economies, business tourism and employment, and helped to build stronger advocacy with policymakers. We plan to repeat this in 2026.

Strategically, UKEVENTS has focused on three priorities during 2025: progressing work towards a national events strategy; advocating for the integration of major business and outdoor events with wider government industrial and social policy initiatives; and supporting initiatives such as the

VisitBritain Business Events Growth Programme, alongside calls for incentives for new event productions comparable to those in the film and television industries. We have also tried to ensure that events are recognised as a key driver of future economic growth in the development of the forthcoming Visitor Economy Growth Strategy.

We are pleased to see that the role of events is being reflected in government policy. The Industrial Strategy included creative industries as a national priority, with events acknowledged for helping to promote trade, inward investment and international engagement. UKEVENTS welcomes this progress, while we continue to advocate for a more coordinated, cross-government approach, including the development of a National Events Strategy. Evidencebased advocacy is central to UKEVENTS’ work. Our UK Events Report 2025, published in December, reported growth in the industry’s economic value to £68.7 billion, underlining the sector’s value and reinforcing the case for continued policy support. Research activity is ongoing, with the industry encouraged to contribute to future studies to strengthen the collective evidence base. We welcome the Outdoor Events Research currently being undertaken by The Power of Events with John Gallery, UKEVENTS Research and Insights Committee Chair, to evaluate the contribution of outdoor events to the overall events economy.

Looking ahead to 2026, we have adopted a refined strategy focused on strengthening a unified industry voice, developing a strategic framework for events, strengthening recognition with government and delivering research to underpin advocacy. With a clear mission, purpose and set of objectives, UKEVENTS is wellpositioned to build on the progress of the past year, increase collaboration and continue working towards longterm growth and recognition for the UK events industry.

THE POWER OF EVENTS

The Power of Events continues to showcase the whole of the UK events industry and everyone is welcome!

The Power of Events, which launched in February 2023, enters its third year of operation with more opportunities than ever for people working in Events of all types to get involved. Showcasing both the range and variety of events and the benefits that they bring to so many aspects of life, the original mission remains the key focus –building respect and value for the power of the UK Events Industry.

The simplicity of this idea continues to attract widespread support from across the seven core sectors. If you’ve not had a chance to explore the unique destination created by the Power of Events team then please do join in and visit www. thepowerofevents.org For the first time ever the main platform creates a map of the UK events industry, enabling people to navigate around the complex ecosystem that delivers world class events and experiences.

The depth and breadth of support is one of the key features of the platform. Our supporters are advocates for our mission, and donate what they can afford to the annual operational fund. Our partners are made up of the amazing collection of communities, associations, media publications and support organisations sharing new connections and collaboration.

Establishing awareness and engagement across the event industry has seen a healthy uplift in visitor numbers to the platform. This increase stands at 43-45% currently, with over 4,000 users focussing on the Careers Hub section alone. Creating content and sharing it across our social media channels remains important – and you can share it too, which will help support the really strong social media rating achieved in 2025.

Working with our Advisory Board and suggestions from supporters the shared passion and dedication for the UK events industry drives the agenda for 2026. In particular data sharing,

co-ordinating communications and assessing political engagement across the seven sectors has attracted a lot of support and are forming part of our strategic planning for the year ahead.

The Schools Engagement Programme

Last year in this yearbook we forecast that we would engage with 75-100,000 young people by the end of 2025, as part of the unique programme of outreach to the talent of the future. We were wrong. With fantastic support from industry sponsors we have now reached 135,000 in the 2025 academic year. Yet again this programme offers you the opportunity to get involved as a Schools Ambassador. Firstly we are expanding regionally, with our current 9 regions moving to 10+ in 2026. We are also forecasting reaching 250,000 young people by July 2026. If you want to help, please get in touch and we can share the details with you.

Once a year or every month – you decide how active you can be in supporting the promotion of all the different opportunities really worthwhile and sustainable careers in the events industry.

Lots of targets, big numbers in terms of engagement with young people and great support from the industry - it is a fantastic mix. But behind all of that, meeting a father whose daughter had attended a Schools Engagement session at her school and came home to tell him that she now understood what his job involved blew the team away last year. It is all about telling the story, using a compelling narrative and using unique content to engage young minds and passions.

In 2025 we attended over 50 event industry events – exhibiting, hosting panel sessions and activating the Event Industry Insight app at award shows – using the power of events to support the whole industry. We look forward to meeting you in 2026!

An Old Age Pensioner writes…

Another year and yet another article as I look back over the last 12 months (and indeed over 25 years with NOEA).

“Martyn’s Law” is now law but not yet in force (and it probably won’t be for at least another year as we await Guidance and all that important detail).

Meanwhile, after a rather hurried consultation (to which I responded on behalf of NOEA), we now have a “National Licensing Policy Framework” which applies to “on-licensed” premises and therefore to the majority of Outdoor Events and not just pubs and restaurants.

This is a somewhat strange document because unlike the section 182 Guidance issued by the Secretary of State (and the National Planning Policy Framework), it does not have any statutory status. It also does seem to be somewhat inconsistent with the Licensing Act itself in that it asserts that conditions should only be attached to licences if they are necessary and proportionate rather than appropriate (and proportionate). Quite how that will pan out in practice is anyone’s guess but overall, my view is that this document assists Event Organisers.

However, what the Good Lord the Government giveth with one hand, He they taketh away with the other and so we come back to the vexed issue of Police charging. In summary, as I write, the Home Office apparently intend to introduce an amendment to a bill currently going through Parliament that would allow the Police to charge for “special police services” outside the “event footprint”. The Press have cottoned on to the fact that if this goes through, football clubs in particular but also other major sporting events could well end up paying £Millions for Police attendance in town centres, at train stations and

along the routes leading to the venue.

They will hopefully soon pick up on the fact that if implemented, these proposals will also affect ALL significant Outdoor Events which will only further add to the financial pressures on the industry.

And oh, I almost forgot to mention “Employment Rights”, minimum wages and the proposed abolition of “Zero Hours” contracts.

Oh dear – who would be an Event Organiser in this day and age?

They say you cannot teach an Old Dog new tricks.

This “Old Dog” (now with some 44 years under my belt as a solicitor) reckons that I can learn “new tricks” but the sheer volume of all this new legislation is frankly the last straw for yours truly and it really is time to head for the Garden centres and work on persuading my one and only granddaughter that a life in the legal profession is not a good idea as the regulation we solicitors face is a now total nightmare.

So, on that (not so happy) note, it’s time to say (with apologies to Douglas Adams) - So long and thanks for all the fish, and in particular the piece of glass that adorns my trophy cabinet (sadly, all on its own) etched with the immortal words “Life time Achievement Award 2023 Philip Day”.

I leave you in the very capable hands of my successor at Laceys, Brendan Herbert and despite the tides and winds that are seemingly against you, I am sure that you will all overcome adversity and that NOEA will thrive.

Martyn’s Law

It feels like we’ve been talking about Martyn’s law for years, and of course we have – which the tragic events which led to it taking place back in 2017. Whilst 2025 actually saw some meaningful progress, with the proposed legislation actually becoming law in April, and some long awaited clarity being given as to who regulator would be, the reality is there is still an extremely long way to go until we know anything useful about what the practical implementation of Martyn’s law will actually look like for us in the events industry.

What we do know, is that there will be a standard tier, and an enhanced tier, with the latter applying to events and premises with capacities in excess of 800 people. Additionally, the regulator has been confirmed as being the Security Industry Authority (SIA).

Events and premises in the “Enhanced Tier” will seemingly be required to:

• notify the SIA that they are responsible for the premises or event;

• have in place, so far as is reasonably practicable, appropriate public protection procedures that could be expected to reduce the risk of physical harm being caused to individuals if an attack was to occur there or nearby;

• have in place, so far as is reasonably practicable, appropriate measures that could reasonably be expected to reduce both the vulnerability of the premises or event to an act of terrorism occurring, and the risk of physical harm being caused to individuals if an attack was to occur there or nearby;

• document the public protection procedures and measures in place, or proposed to be put in place, and provide this document to the SIA.

The phrase “reasonably practicable” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in these high level points, and the devil will of course be in the detail, when we eventually get it.

What this will actually looks like in practice remains to be seen, and the guidance we have received from the Home Office is that there will remain a long lead in time before the legislation actually becoming applicable and enforceable. One hopes we will be receiving at least some preliminary forms of guidance during the course of 2026.

Another thing which we do know with certainty is, sadly, there are a great many charlatans out in the market who are purporting to provide training on “Martyn’s Law”, and claim to be able to assist with getting you ready for it. Our mantra is, and has always been, to ignore any such campaigns or promotions. Anyone who tells you that they know anything about what the implementation of Martyn’s law will look like is, at best, delusional and at worst, well, pick your own adjective…

We will of course be keeping our collective ears to the ground, and as soon as there are any meaningful developments we will share them with you.

SPS

An interesting development which landed at the back end of 2025 was a consultation launched by the Home Office into the possibility of reforming how the police charge for “Special Police Services”, or SPS.

By way of background SPSs, are services where the police perform or provide services which are beyond their ordinary public duty.

Typically, these SPSs are provided at larger outdoor events and major sporting occasions, and have proved a contentious area over the years, with much court time being taken up deciding what precisely constitutes SPSs, and where and when the services can be charged for by the providing police force.

The Government appear to feel that in the past, police forces have been too generous in how SPSs have been charged to events where these services have been requested, and is now looking in to how it can achieve greater recover of SPS costs.

Naturally the concern of event organisers is that this could mean a significant shifting of costs on to already highly pressurised margins, and if this is not handled properly it could, in very real terms, decimate the industry.

We joined the Policing Minister, together with various other stakeholders in the event industry, shortly before Christmas, and whilst the meeting was broadly positive, there is clearly much work to be done to ascertain whether there is even a need or justification for the current charging model to be revisited, and if and how this could be implemented, particularly considering that the charge out rates for SPS are already high.

Particular concerns are around whether SPS charging could be implemented in the area immediately outside an event footprint, and whether there is any prospect of SPS falling within the remit of safety advisory groups

It is also vital that this consultation needs to be viewed through the prism of the upcoming implementation of Martyn’s law, otherwise event teams could face a double whammy of increased costs in the form of having to deal with the increased costs of complying with whatever requirements are ultimately set forth in relation to Martyn’s law, and any new framework which seeks to push the cost of policing events from the state to the event organiser.

This certainly looks like an interesting and important project for us to work on as 2026 progresses.

West of England Society

unveils

expansion of Field to Food Learning Day and announces South West Future Fair

The Royal Bath & West of England Society is proud to announce an exciting expansion of its education initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to inspiring and supporting young people across the South West. Building on the success of its flagship Field to Food Learning Day, the Society will introduce additional editions in 2026 and launch a brand-new event designed for older students: the South West Future Fair.

Field to Food Learning Day –Growing Opportunities for Primary Learners

Now in its seventh year, Field to Food Learning Day has become a cornerstone of the Society’s education programme, welcoming over 1,600 Key Stage 2 pupils for a full day of hands-on activities, live demonstrations, and immersive “field to fork” experiences. To meet growing demand, the Society is delighted to confirm two editions for 2026:

• Spring Edition: Wednesday 22 April 2026

• Harvest Edition: Wednesday 21 October 2026

These events give children the chance to look, listen, smell, and get their hands dirty as they discover how food is grown, produced, and reaches their plates.

“Field to Food is one of our favourite days in the calendar,” said Lilanie Self, Shows and Education Coordinator. “Adding a second edition means we can welcome even more schools and home-educating families to share in this unique learning experience. We’re incredibly grateful to our volunteers and local providers who make this possible.”

Schools and home-educating groups can register interest by contacting  Lilanie.self@bathandwest.co.uk.

South West Future Fair – Supporting Students Beyond the Classroom

Extending its educational reach, the Society will also host the inaugural South West Future Fair on Wednesday 18 November 2026 at the Bath & West Showground. This early-evening event is designed for secondary school, sixth-form, and college students – and their parents – offering a dynamic platform to explore career pathways, meet employers and training providers, and gain insight into further education and professional opportunities across the region.

The South West Future Fair represents a natural progression of the Society’s mission: to support young people at every stage of their journey, from understanding where food comes from to preparing for the world of work.

For organisations and schools interested in the South West Futures Fair - please contact Lucy ChampionTrade stand Coordinator.

DAZZLING CHRISTMAS PARADE

Your dazzling

Christmas

Parade named the best outdoor event in the UK

Your brilliant Swansea Christmas Parade has been named the best council-organised outdoor event in Britain.

Fresh from dazzling tens of thousands of visitors last Sunday, the city’s festive magic carried straight through to Bath, where the council claimed the title of ‘Event of the Year’ in the local authority category at the prestigious National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) Awards 2025.

The NOEA Awards celebrate the very best in the UK’s outdoor events industry, bringing together leading event professionals from across the country.

This accolade marks a significant achievement for Swansea Council, recognising the creativity, dedication, and impact of all the teams that come together to make the annual Christmas Parade possible.

Rob Stewart, Council Leader said: “Winning this award is a phenomenal achievement for Swansea and the city’s ability to deliver quality cultural experiences that unite communities and attract visitors from far and wide.

Our Christmas Parade is far more than a spectacular show, it’s a tradition that brings people together, supports local businesses, and creates shared moments that strengthen our sense of community.

These events are about pride, belonging, and joy, and to see that recognised on a national stage is something the whole city can be proud of and celebrate.”

This is the second time this year Swansea’s events have been recognised at a national level, following our success as a finalist at the Visit Wales Tourism Awards earlier this year.

These achievements come on the back of multiple wins at local and regional level, reinforcing Swansea’s reputation as a leading destination for vibrant, inclusive and high-quality events.”

Reflecting on the night, Susan Tanner, CEO of NOEA, said: “To end our 45th anniversary year with record entries and a record audience is an extraordinary

achievement for our community. The calibre of this year’s winners shows the innovation, passion and talent that continues to shape the UK’s outdoor events industry. Tonight has been a reminder of just how far we’ve come, and how bright the road ahead truly is.

Swansea Council triumphed in Event of the Year - Local Authority Sector for its forwardthinking approach to delivering major public celebrations.”

Building on this momentum, Swansea Council is preparing an exciting calendar of events for 2026, starting with Croeso over the St David’s Day weekend, and offering even more opportunities for residents and visitors to come together and Enjoy the best of Swansea Bay, Mumbles and Gower.

IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea delivers thrilling Pro-Series debut in the UK

Thousands of athletes and spectators were in their element today for the fourth edition of IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea as the event became the UK’s first-ever IRONMAN Pro Series race.

The crowd cheered on as Kat Matthews took first place in the Women’s category, with an impressive time of 4:20:37, and in 3:51:18, Harry Palmer won the Men’s category.

Athletes took on the one-loop 1.2-mile swim at the Prince of Wales Dock, before they headed onto a 56-mile bike course through Mumbles along roads that hug the Gower’s coastal clifftops, before cycling out through Rural Swansea, and heading back along

Swansea Bay into the city. To finish, athletes ran 13.1-miles along Swansea Bay, before finishing in front of cheering fans at Museum Park.

Councillor Robert FrancisDavies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events & Tourism at Swansea Council, said: “It was a pleasure to once again welcome IRONMAN to the city, and the thousands of people who participated and watched this amazing event.

“To be the first Pro Series event in the UK was a great honour, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with IRONMAN in future years. Congratulations to Harry Palmer and Kat Matthews on their wins, and to everyone who took part in this gruelling race. And an extended thank you to the thousands of people who lined the route to cheer on the competitors.”

IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea Race Director, Rebecca Sutherland, said:”It’s always great fun when we go racing in Swansea, and this year was no different. It was another incredible race with thousands of athletes crossing the famous red carpet finish line to rapturous spectator support.

The IRONMAN Pro Series gave triathlon fans a brilliant spectacle which saw some of the best athletes from across the world bring a thrilling race to the Welsh coast. We can’t wait to return to do it all over again next year on Sunday 12th July!”

WALES AIRSHOW TAKES FLIGHT

Wales Airshow takes flight: A weekend of family fun and aerial spectacles

The Wales Airshow had a fantastic weekend with hundreds of thousands of people enjoying the country’s biggest free outdoor event.

Two days of flying featuring The Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon and many other displays delighted visitors from across the UK.

The Swansea Council-organised event saw huge crowds enjoy a wide range of interactive displays, activities, and live entertainment on the ground, as well as seeing the action in the air.

Among the features and new for 2025, was The Royal Navy’s Fleet Squadron Area Diving Group, with their exciting Dive Tank display, offering visitors a rare glimpse into the daring world of Mine Clearance Divers.

Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events and Tourism, at the council, said: “As one of the highlights of the annual Swansea events calendar, the airshow was a huge success, continuing to support the city’s reputation as a top-class destination for major events.

“The stars of the free-entry show included the hundreds of thousands of visitors who enjoyed a day out or a weekend in Swansea. The family atmosphere resulted in a great weekend, and Saturday’s rain didn’t dampen the mood.

“The airshow contributes millions of pounds to the local economy, and we thank local businesses and residents for their patience with the road closures, and to all traders for their contribution to the latest show’s success.

“We also appreciate the understanding of those whose daily routines were affected by the road changes implemented for everyone’s safety.”

The council thanked everyone who attended the airshow, as well council staff, emergency services, show sponsors and other council partners who helped make the event a top-quality showcase for the city.

PHOENIX EVENTS (EAST) LTD: contributions to the Living Wage Foundation

Another Outstanding Year Championing the Real Living Wage in Norwich.

This past year has been one of significant progress, celebration, and meaningful community impact as we continued our commitment to the Real Living Wage movement here at Phoenix Events (East) Ltd. Building on previous successes, we were proud to help launch the new Living Wage Places logos, marking another milestone in strengthening Norwich’s identity as a city that values fair pay and responsible employment practices. These new visuals have already become a recognisable symbol of our collective effort, reinforcing the message that fair wages are central to thriving local economies.

Living Wage Week has always been a highlight in the calendar, and this year’s celebrations in Norwich were especially memorable. The week began with an uplifting public announcement on the steps of City Hall, delivered in true traditional style by the town crier. This moment not only captured attention but also demonstrated the city’s continued enthusiasm and civic pride in supporting the Real Living Wage. It was a powerful reminder of how far the movement has come locally, and how deeply embedded the campaign has become within the cultural and social heart of the city. (see attached photo of Norwich LW action group at City Hall to launch new LW week and rates)

Another creative highlight was the Living Wage graffiti initiative, which brought vibrant, eye catching artwork to various locations across Norwich. This year, we were delighted to have one of the installations positioned right outside our own office, an inspiring daily reminder of the values we champion. The initiative succeeded in sparking conversation, engaging younger audiences, and giving the movement a refreshed, modern presence within the community. (see photo of LW graffiti outside our office)

We were also proud to support the Living Wage Week celebration evening held in Norwich Cathedral. The event was a beautiful and fitting setting to recognise employers, partners, and advocates who continue to drive positive change (see photo of Anna Ryan, Operations Director at the LW event at the cathedral)

To mark the occasion, we supplied flapjacks adorned with both the Living Wage logo and the newly launched Norwich Living Wage Places logo, a small but appreciated gesture that symbolised our pride in supporting the movement at every level. (see photo of New Living Wage logo flapjacks)

However, the most significant achievement for us this year was the completion and approval of the new Norwich Action Group Living Wage three-year plan. This comprehensive strategy, which all regional action groups are required to produce, was written and collaboratively shaped by our very own Operations Director, Anna Ryan. Her dedication to gathering information from fellow action group members, consulting with the Living Wage Foundation, and ensuring the plan was both ambitious and achievable resulted in the document being approved on its very first submission. This is no small feat, and we extend a sincere thank you to Anna for the countless hours of work and careful coordination she put into delivering a plan that will guide Norwich’s progress for years to come.

As the Real Living Wage movement continues to expand, we encourage all members, whether long-standing accredited employers or newcomers exploring the benefits, to get involved with their local Living Wage Action Group. These groups are at the heart of driving genuine change, and your voice, experience, and support can help shape the future of fair pay across the UK.

A SEASON OF SHIFTING HABITS:

Reflections from the Festival Field

This past year has been one of the most interesting I’ve experienced in my time organising outdoor events. Between running the Cheese & Chilli Festivals across the South, the Highcliffe Food & Arts Festival, and working with community groups and local councils on various other projects, 2025 has reminded me just how fast audience behaviour and the wider events landscape continues to evolve.

One of the biggest challenges this season has been the rise in last-minute ticket buying. Gone are the days when early bird sales gave a clear indicator of how an event might perform. Now, customers are waiting until the week sometimes even the day before the event to commit. While that spontaneity might seem exciting from a visitor’s point of view, for organisers it creates real pressure. We’re investing heavily in infrastructure, entertainment, staffing and safety weeks in advance, often with little certainty of return until the eleventh hour. It’s a test of faith and nerve that’s becoming all too familiar.

Running both free-to-attend and ticketed events this year has really highlighted the difference in audience behaviour. We’ve had some fantastic turnouts at community festivals and town-centre events, but several traders have said the same thing: high footfall doesn’t always translate to high sales. Many describe these events as being filled with what they call “tyre kickers” visitors there for a stroll and a browse rather than to spend or truly engage with what’s on offer.

By Simon Stewart, Director, 33rd Management Ltd and Organiser of the Cheese & Chilli Festivals

By contrast, our ticketed events like the Cheese & Chilli Festivals tend to attract fewer people than free to attend events, but those who do come are genuinely invested in the experience. They’ve paid to be there, they want to taste, shop and soak it all in. The atmosphere is different, more vibrant, more connected, and ultimately more rewarding for everyone involved, from traders and performers to the visitors themselves.

Another trend I’ve noticed this year is a growing interest from local authorities wanting to work more closely with organisers. Councils are increasingly looking to use experiential events to bring people back into town centres to boost footfall, support local businesses and demonstrate value to their levy payers. It’s encouraging to see this shift in mindset, where events are recognised not just as entertainment, but as vital economic and community drivers.

The high street’s future may feel uncertain, but I believe there’s a real opportunity for reinvention, one rooted in shared experience rather than retail. Food festivals, markets, music and cultural celebrations are becoming the heartbeat of local life once again.

For organisers like me, it’s a privilege to play a part in that transformation. The past year has reinforced what I’ve always loved about this industry: it’s unpredictable, creative, and full of passion. The audiences might be buying later and thinking differently, but the appetite for live, local experiences is still very much alive and that gives me huge optimism for the future.

LS EVENTS

Blending Innovation and Technology with the Human Touch: LS Events’ Vision for 2026

As the events landscape continues to evolve at extraordinary speed, LS Events remains driven by a simple belief: innovation is most powerful when it amplifies, rather than replaces, authentic human experience.

Technology in 2026 will offer possibilities that were unimaginable even a few years ago, yet our focus is not on the tools themselves, but on how they enrich every customer touchpoint. When deployed thoughtfully, innovation allows audiences to immerse themselves fully in the moments that matter most, whether that’s singing along to their favourite artist, celebrating sporting excellence, or feeling part of a global community.

At the heart of this approach is a commitment to prioritising the attendee experience and strengthening the sense of community that brings events to life. This ethos underpins our delivery of major fan-centric projects, including the Marvel Fantastic Four London E-Prix of the ABB FIA Formula E and its Fan Village, the 2025 SailGP Portsmouth race, and the 2024 UEFA Champions League Festival and fan meeting points across multiple sites in Central London. Each of these projects demonstrates our belief that large-scale events succeed when they feel personal, safe and emotionally resonant.

Technology supports smarter decisions, accelerates processes, and gives our people the freedom to do what they do best. Nowhere is this more evident than in the introduction of Raven to meet our standards for event control across the wide scope of multi-sector, mass-participation events we deliver. Through Raven, we harness real-time, dynamic data to learn from what is happening on the ground as it unfolds, spotting patterns, adapting instantly, and carrying those insights forward from event to event. As we now deliver Pride

in London, BST Hyde Park and Barcode Festival all on one weekend, this technology allows our senior management team to have a centralised oversight of all event logs.

The next era of sustainable event production will also be shaped by the thoughtful integration of technology to help shape everything from site design to power strategy. Our delivery of LIDO Festival for AEG Presents demonstrates how it was possible to create a bespoke power distribution plan informed by years of site-specific energy data collected by LS Events and Pearce Hire, to create LIDO’s “Power Bible,”. This insight alongside collaboration with A Greener Future, informed how we would design and manage the power for the entire LIDO Festival site, resulting in a 32-hour runtime powered solely by batteries— surpassing the original target of 24 hours and 2 minutes. Grid Faeries x Ecotricity’s battery powered LIDO’s main stage with renewable grid energy, while eleven additional units from Greener Power Solutions formed battery farms across the site. Two more batteries were mounted on mobile electric trucks from KB Events, supporting a complex recharge schedule.

Through these partnerships and our continual investment in emerging tools and systems, LS Events remains at the forefront of what’s possible. Yet while digital solutions increasingly underpin the operational backbone of events, they will never dilute the human touch that defines us. Instead, they empower it. The purpose of innovation is not to automate away connection, it is to create the space, clarity, and capability for it to flourish. In 2026, LS Events remains committed to delivering the best of both worlds: events run with cutting-edge intelligence and experienced with genuine emotion.

Tiger Tea Events / TTK Welfare

Linda Krawecke, Manager info@tigertea.net

www.ttkwelfare.net

A successful event will want to look after the needs of their customers, particularly those who may be having difficulties or are in distress. No matter how small or inconsequential an individual’s problem may seem to you, to them it can be quite a “”big deal””. Having someone who will not only listen to their problem but help in trying to solve it will make all the difference to their event experience. This is where an event welfare service can offer support. The welfare team can offer them help to best resolve their situation. A welfare service may also offer Safeguarding support by supplying certified and vetted persons who will mind a child found without a parent, keeping them calm in a safe space. But a proper safeguarding service goes beyond minding “”lost kids”” into overseeing the safety and welfare of all minors under the age of 18 who are vulnerable and could come to potential harm through alcohol or substance misuse, neglect or abuse. The welfare team can support any vulnerable young person and ensure that they receive help and understanding. We are able to support persons with mobility or access needs in an event setting including in an accessible campsite or on a viewing platform. We also understand and support those with a neurodivergence who need a place to shelter or be heard when they need assistance. The welfare tent is a place for recovery.

Zeros Power specialise in zero carbon power for temporary events for a similar price to a diesel generator equivalent. With a growing demand for environmentally responsible power solutions, we have designed and built a zero carbon power system to meet the requirements for outdoor events industry. We have sets that are equivalent to a 30kVA generator that can run 24hrs with zero emissions and virtually no noise. It’s not a secret that the Events Industry uses a lot of temporary diesel power. The Events Industry can achieve a much smaller carbon footprint – literally right now! We’re here to show you how with our Zero Carbon event power.
