Founded in 2018, Funyard Events is an event management and destination activation partner for Business Improvement Districts, local councils, landlords, property managers, retail destinations and corporate clients. Our work extends across the UK and includes projects with international landlords.

​

We develop and deliver Christmas markets, festive activations, seasonal events and year round programmes tailored to each location and audience. With more than 300 events delivered, we combine creative planning, thoughtful curation and experienced management to help organisations attract visitors, support businesses and bring their destinations to life.

​

Our work spans leading shopping centres, town centres, visitor attractions and seasonal programmes. ​​ To date, we have created opportunities for thousands of independent businesses, including charities and organisations. Our public events vary in format, scale and facilities. 

​

Alongside commissioned projects, we run our own programme of shopping events, bringing together independent makers, retailers and food businesses. These events offer visitors opportunities to discover and shop from small businesses and traders a professionally managed setting in which to showcase their work.

​​

We bring together strategic planning, creative development and practical delivery to help places attract visitors, support independent businesses and strengthen connections with their communities. Our involvement can span an entire project or a specific part of a wider programme, shaped around each client’s objectives and existing team.

​

We believe the most successful events do more than fill a space - they enrich the places in which they happen. ​

​​

Alongside our public events programme, Funyard Events works with venues, landlords, destinations, local authorities, Business Improvement Districts, trusts, institutions and commercial partners to develop and deliver professionally managed events tailored to each location and audience.

​

Our wider work in the UK and with international landlords includes consultancy, strategic planning, project and programme management, business development, facilities development, stakeholder engagement, marketing, communications and consultancy. We also support town centre regeneration strategies, small business development, stakeholder engagement, public consultation and community engagement
