EVENTS Ironically, the more snow we had the more space would be available (once it was shaped and groomed). We used in-house rental assets to create a stage as a focal point and a bar/merch structure was also used as the base of operations. We clad the front of the bar structure with scrap cladding sourced locally to Glencoe to reduce transport. The cladding has since been recycled by community groups based near our HQ. Lastly, we used recycled printed air mesh to brand a pyramid structure, which made for a great Instagram moment over the weekend. How did you work with creatives to make these spaces work? Jamie: We worked with Hillside Agency to design the branding for the pyramid and the DJ stage. All the branding can either be recycled or re-wrapped for a future event, nothing needs to go to landfill. “WE TIED THREE PA SYSTEMS TOGETHER SO WE HAD SITE WIDE CONTROL FROM A CENTRAL POINT BUT COULD ALSO RUN THEM AS SEPARATE SYSTEMS WHEN REQUIRED” How did you manage the festival infrastructure? Jamie: We knew anything that went up the mountain would need to be small enough to go on the chairlift if the snow prevented vehicles making it to the top, therefore nothing went that wasn't absolutely required. We made use of battery equipment which we could charge overnight at the main festival site and used ground anchors to secure structures where we might usually use water or concrete. We worked with sponsors Salomon and The North Face to ensure we made provision for the structures they brought. What provisions did you make for power, lights and sound? Jamie: We wanted to avoid the environmental impact of using generators so worked with Glencoe Mountain Resort to have a three phase power supply installed close to the main site. Being able to easily bury cables in the snow was a great alternative to cable ramp. We tied three PA systems together so we had site wide control from a central point but could also run them as separate systems when required. How did you manage admissions? Jamie: Admission was included in the price of a lift pass so we could run a totally open layout with no restrictions on accessing the main festival area. Tell us about any logistical challenges Jamie: The access road to the top of the main chairlift was slightly more challenging than we had experienced before winter. We had two 4x4s on standby to tow trailers loaded with vendors’ equipment and tow out any stuck vehicles. Being split over multiple sites on the mountain meant we could pack for each site individually then use smaller vehicles to deliver the equipment directly.
EVENTS ADDRESS BOOK Any special team members you'd like to mention? Jamie: I'd love to mention Ross who built all the cladding for the bar onsite, as well as being our medical cover for the build and break. What are the plans for next year? Neil: To build on this year and find ways to make the event more commercial – the social side is probably most important for this. We’ll also obviously make sure the venue is prepped and ready for any changes we make. Jamie: We would love to help Hillside Outside build on the success of the last event. The style of The Mighty Coe has huge potential!
