Did anyone predict 2020 to pan out like this? We certainly didn’t!

With the nation working together to protect the NHS, work forces working remotely, daily Zoom calls, DIY projects, virtual birthday parties and weekly quizzes, its safe to the say the event and hospitality industry has been greatly affected.

Here at Graham Sykes Insurance we work with a vast range of Event and Festival organisers and whilst we are sad to see these wonderful events postponed, we can’t help but be fascinated with people’s positivity, creativity and innovation.

We may not be heading out to enjoy these occasions together as a community but that doesn’t mean we can’t get involved. Covid – 19 has encouraged all of us to think outside of the box, work differently and come out of our comfort zones to achieve the impossible.

So, if you are an Event or Festival organiser and you are racking your brains about how you can keep things ticking over during this pandemic, then we might just have an idea for you…

  1. Online Concerts and Performances
  2. Virtual Workshops
  3. Fundraising quizzes and competitions
  4. Online subscriptions for Dance or Yoga classes
  5. Online comedy nights
  6. Baking and cooking demonstrations 
  7. Online forums, meetings and discussion groups
  8. Virtual Dinner Parties
  9. Gardening or floristry tutorials
  10. Online music lessons or workshops

So, whilst the world around us changes, and we get to grips with ‘The New Normal’, we’d love to hear from you to capture your thoughts, ideas and plans for your virtual or online events.

If you are also looking to discuss your insurance needs for these types of events then please do not hesitate to contact the team via email, online chat or calling us on 01395 255100.

All the best and happy event planning!
