Banksy’s Dismaland

Dismaland was a temporary art project organised by street artist Banksy, constructed in the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare. This was a highly confidential client brief to run all bars on site for this high-profile event. This required a deep attention to detail and high level of client demand. In keeping with the theme of the event, all of the bars and staff had to have a particular look, feel and atmosphere.

The event was open for 36 days, with 4,000 tickets available for purchase per day. It brought in 150,000 visitors from around the world due to the event’s presence in the public eye and media, which was further increased with the music events scheduled over the weekends by the event’s management team. This included performances by Run The Jewels, De La Soul, Damon Albarn, Pussy Riot, Massive Attack, Kate Tempest and Sleaford Mods.

Tramlines

Tramlines is a multi-arena, inner-city music festival held annually in Sheffield with over 70,000 attendees across the three days of the event. Event Bars has run the bars at this event for the last 3 years covering the two main two arenas of Ponderosa and Devonshire Green, as well as at the smaller Peace Gardens with almost 200 members of staff on site.

Like a number of the urban events and pop-up bars we undertake, this is a challenging temporary environment that has a variety of demands including tight build and break schedules, limited access times, and a high level of demand from a number of different stakeholders. Our involvement here now extends to the management of the trader areas.
