Finding and working with festival suppliers
Quick answers on finding, selecting and managing suppliers for festival events.
How do I find reliable suppliers for my festival?
Start by listing the services you need and searching for suppliers who specialise in festival work to ensure they understand event demands. We connect you with verified suppliers across the UK who match your brief, saving you time. Submit one request and suppliers will send bespoke quotes so you can compare prices, photos and reviews in one place. Use supplier chat to clarify availability and terms, then book directly with the supplier once you’re confident.
What should I look for when selecting a supplier?
Check experience, licences, insurance and specific festival references to confirm they can handle your event’s scale and risks. Request photos from similar events and read recent reviews to assess quality and reliability. Compare quotes on what’s included, lead times and cancellation or refund terms rather than choosing the lowest price alone. Arrange a call or site visit to judge communication and ensure they understand your brief before signing anything.
How can I negotiate terms and finalise agreements with suppliers?
Always get a written agreement that sets out services, timings, set-up, breakdown and any additional costs. We make it simple to compare supplier terms side by side and to ask questions via the platform so you can negotiate fees and extras with confidence. Check insurance certificates, public liability and any required licences, and request a risk assessment for site-specific hazards. Agree a clear payment schedule and keep copies of all communications and contracts before you finalise the booking.
What are the best practices for working with suppliers on the festival day?
Provide a clear event schedule, site map and a single point of contact so suppliers know arrival times, access points and expectations. Hold a short pre-event briefing to confirm timings, parking, access, health and safety and emergency procedures. Ensure suppliers have any required licences or certificates onsite and agree waste, power and noise responsibilities in advance. Keep a contingency plan and supplier contact list to resolve issues quickly on the day.
