Car-Park Family Event

Stage, screens and sound built on a car park for a community family day — the most available large flat surface most towns have.

What the job involved, and what it had to work around.

The project

What the job was

Most towns do not have a festival field. What they have is a car park: flat, hard, drains well, already served by power and already somewhere people know how to get to.

DSD builds the event onto it — stage, screens carrying the programme and children’s content, PA, and a layout that keeps buggies, wheelchairs and a bouncy castle in sensible relationships to each other.

The screens do something specific at a family day: they run the day’s timetable, so nobody has to find a printed programme to know when the next thing starts.
