ISSUE 20 | June / July 2018 | www.openairbusiness.com WELCOME Welcome SO, I AM now a Mrs! The day was blissful, and big thanks go to the team at Brinsop Court in Herefordshire. I loved the opportunity to gather friends and family in one beautiful place, I loved the fizz and food, and I loved my dress and all the fun girlie bits I got to indulge in – nails, hair etc. But more that all that, I loved the opportunity to get creative. The space was already amazing but we added our spin with pink neon, ferns, pre-loved plastic animal favours and Regular Show themed table names. It was definitely unique, and all the bespoke stuff we didn’t make ourself was sourced through Etsy – the homemade marketplace, one of my favourite places on the internet. How wonderful that in the outdoor hospitality industry so many of you embrace the unique and the bespoke – from décor to infrastructure, glampsites, function venues and events are creating all the time – it’s just such a joy to see. There are some fantastic examples of creativity in this issue. In the Function Venues case study, sisters Rachel and Sarah have had great fun with their Norfolk site, the Fire Pit Camp – check out their warehouse and eco bridal suite (pages 17-20). Trellyn Woodland Camping in Pembrokeshire is our Glampsite case study, and boasts tents adorned with a local artists’ fantastical paintings and a hobbit hole (pages 30-34). In Events, we feature Bournemouth 7s, a sports/music festival with 15 themed arenas and fancy dress to spread the creative love (pages 48-50). Bold and unusual offerings are also emerging in the business event sector. Board rooms and conference centres move over, quirky and flexible spaces are here to stay! Read about Heart of England’s decision to invest in domes to service their forward thinking event planners on pages 22-23.
