Planning Your Event
Effective planning is fundamental to a successful and safe event that everyone can enjoy, including you as the organiser. Event organisers are not expected to be experts in everything and there is a lot of help and guidance that is available to you.
Discussing ideas and plans throughout the planning stages, not only with Dover District Council and emergency services, but other local organisers, can help you avoid unnecessary expense, common pitfalls and other problems closer to or during the event when it is too late to change.
