Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
