SUMMER EVENTS - FETES - FUNDAYS - FESTIVALS

STEP1. PLANNING

Planning introduction
Organising an event for the first time can be a rather daunting prospect with so many things to organise and legal requirements to consider. Here at countyfetes we will help guide you through the various stages from the early initial planning, health and safety regulations, using professional services through to marketing and advertising your event. Our planner is aimed at providing you with general advice and pointers to help you when organising any type of summer event.

To help you navigate your way around our summer event planner we have split it into four sections which are listed at the top right of the page numbered one to four. Within each of those sections you will see a key points navigation bar which will take you to relevant pages within the section you are viewing.

Thorough planning and research is the key to organising a successful event. Start planning your event as early as possible, establish what your event is setting out to achieve, plan the type of event you are holding, set up a committee and delegate tasks, carefully plan when and where to hold your event and finally watch the finances.

If you would like to write an article about any of your own personal experiences of organising an event we would love to include organisers comments in our related articles boxes, please fill out our write an article form. To continue reading on please use the key points navigation bar.
