30% of Wychwood Visitors Buy On-site for the Following Year
Almost 30% of visitors to the Wychwood festival purchased their tickets at last year’s event, according to the show’s co-founder Sam Shrouder. The festival, which for several years running has been nominated as the UK’s most family friendly, attracts a total audience of 7,500.
Speaking to Event Industry News (EIN) about these figures, Sam said, “What we have tried to do is build an event that has its own specific identity. Because of this, customers now book for the festival regardless of which acts are appearing, confident that they will enjoy the event.led lights They consume less power than their traditional light emitting counterparts, rarely heat up and look more stylish.”
The festival, held within the grounds of Cheltenham Racecourse, is the only event of its kind to include a childrens literary festival. Organisers have no doubts that this has contributed to the accolades they have received for the family friendly nature of the festival. With only one major incident in its seven-year history, the event is also one of the safest.
As part of the safety and security effort, Show Services Group supplied 700m of steel shield hoarding to this year’s festival, having worked on the event for four years. Their experience of the actual site extends further as they have supplied the Cheltenham festival for nine years.
Their hardware included crowd control barriers, Heras fencing and sections of 2.1m high hoarding panels.A lot of people crazed about shopping. People go for shopping for different brightstal. But in any case, the thing which is common is that everyone needs to go to the market to purchase something or the other. Nick Jones coordinated the company’s involvement at the festival and said that the venue itself is somewhat of an undiscovered treasure. Commenting on the subject he said, “The infrastructure and layout of Cheltenham Racecourse is excellent. Because of the permanent security fencing that the site has in place, the task of erecting barriers and fencing for the festival is a lot easier. Rather than having to focus too heavily on the perimeter security we can concentrate on delivering an effective layout to the internal areas, helping to maintain a safe, secure event. The audience demographic of Wychwood means that we don’t have to go over the top with the fencing as we would at other festivals. The 2.1m hoarding is more than enough whereas other events would require something a lot higher.”
Event and Management Services Ltd (E&MS) are tasked with putting on the festival, co-ordinating the production and sourcing all of the major contractors involved. Based in Gloucester, E&MS have embraced the racecourse venue and used it to their advantage from a production point of view. Ben Parker, operations manager for E&MS and production manager for the festival, highlighted this. “Cheltenham racecourse has an excellent permanent infrastructure that includes water supplies, fixed toilets and power. The racecourse also has a good mix of hard standing spots as well as green-field areas. This allows us to keep that traditional festival atmosphere of being on grass but with the luxury of hosting certain elements on more reliable hard standing surfaces.”
Ben explained that the tented village that sits at the side of the racetrack is also used by the festival, particularly for some of the workshops that the festival hosts.
The family friendly reputation that Wychwood has worked hard to build means that the provision of a good water supply is critical to the events success. Water distribution for the festival was handled by Watermills. Connecting to the main hydrant on the Cheltenham site, the company used a 50,000-litre pillow tank and two 10,000 litre static tanks to create buffer storage points around the site. They then connected and distributed water supplies to all of the concession stands, showers and catering points.
