With the summer period filling up with events it might be time to expand and think of Spring as the new summer.
Yes, traditionally the weather has not been so good in April/May as it normally is in the summer months, but we are in the UK after all, so there is never any guarantee that the weather is going to be good at any point.
After the winter months, people are looking to get out and about, find their feet back outside and start to enjoy events. Why not capitalise on that and plan your event for April or May, getting a bigger slice of the audience and with the longer and sunnier days that aren’t too hot, it might just be the perfect time to host your event.
Why not lean into the religious holidays that take place around that time to theme your event. Whether it’s Easter, Passover, Ramadan or Eid, you can organise a festival that suits your audience in April and May. Just like Northampton Eid Manegament Group who have organised Eid Festival in Becket’s Park, sponsored by Northampton Town Council. A community event with activities for the whole family with rides, bouncy castle, and pop up stalls, along with a stage and live entertainment.
Spring fairs and festivals are also a great theme for any events taking place at this time of year. Leighton Linslade Town Council are hosting the Mayor’s Spring Fair with a petting farm, crafts, local produce stalls and other taster sessions. What a fun way to celebrate the new season and everything that’s great about it.
It's always a good time for food so why not host a foodies event in spring, focusing on seasonal produce maybe. Just like Foodies festival who kick off their season with their first event in Brighton in April, or Pub in the Park who start their season in Wimbledon in the middle of May and the Great British Food Festival who are in Trentham Gardens, Staffordshire, at the end of April before moving onto Barton Constable, Hull, in May.
Or you could host a music afternoon locally to get people out and about, enjoying the fresh air. Just ilke the Fake Festival in Bedford which takes place at the end of May. Or if you’re thinking a bit smaller, why not host smaller band concert in the local park, like Northampton Town Council who host the Bands in the Park at the Abingdon Park Bandstand from the 16th April until the 24th September. Be it a brass band concert, an acoustic singer or a full band there’s a way to bring a little bit of joy to the community through these special events.
With all these fresh ideas, there’s no reason to not expand your event season and make spring the new summer.
