How to Run a Successful Pop-Up in All Weather!

While the British summer may be unpredictable, your pop-up event doesn’t have to be. With the right preparation and mindset, you can host a successful and enjoyable event regardless of the weather. At The Great Big Event Company, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

No More Pop-Up Gazebos

While pop-up gazebos are great for a quick shelter solution, they simply won’t cut it in heavy rain and we urge people to not have these as their only back up plan. To ensure your event runs smoothly regardless of the weather, we recommend investing in a sturdy marquee. A marquee not only provides ample protection from the elements but also offers a more professional look.

Consider adding flooring to your marquee if the ground is uneven or prone to getting muddy…

Fire Pits: Creating Ambience

Fire pits can add a wonderful atmosphere to your event, creating a cosy and inviting space for guests to gather. They are perfect for adding warmth and charm to your event.

Dress Your Crew Appropriately

Ensure your crew are dressed appropriately for all weather conditions. This means investing in good quality waterproofs and sturdy footwear.

Even better if branded clothing – not only keeps your team dry and comfortable but also enhances professionalism. Waterproof jackets, and hats with a logo can leave a lasting positive impression.

Plan for All Scenarios

The key to a successful pop-up event in unpredictable weather is thorough planning. Have contingency plans in place for all weather scenarios. Whether it’s setting up windbreaks for blustery days or having plenty of umbrellas on hand for sudden downpours, being prepared is half the battle.

Anything Else?

Always have a few extra touches ready to elevate your event. Think about adding some outdoor rugs or blankets to keep the seating areas comfortable. String up some fairy lights for an enchanting evening glow, and maybe even have a hot drink station to keep everyone warm and happy. These little details can make a big difference in creating a memorable experience.
