For event organisers in New Denham
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Most wakes in New Denham are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
