Operations and Health & Safety: Hospitality in the Woods

Background

Hospitality in the Woods returned to Beckenham Place Park in August - welcoming the entire Drum & Bass community to join us for a weekend of their favourite music.

With over 21 years of running parties across the globe, Hospital Records & Hospitality events are known for attention to detail when it comes to sound quality, epic production and of course, top tier lineups representing all corners of drum & bass.

Having developed a relationship with the client over several years, the OPS team was requested to provide Health & Safety, Incident Response and SAG liaison services during the build and live stages of the event.

Challenges

  • Supplier Auditing: There were a considerable number of sponsors involved in this event, so we had to ensure we continuously liaised with them to ensure their compliance with plans.

  • Access routes: A second area of the arena ran was open on Day 1 of the festival, but not Day 2, meaning OPS had to ensure ingress and egress routes were reconfigured to adapt to this.
