Event Health & Safety: Marylebone Summer Festival
Background
For almost a decade, our teams at We Group have supported Howard de Walden Estate in delivering the annual Marylebone Summer Festival, a free community event celebrating the people, businesses and character of Marylebone Village.
Held on Sunday 14 June, the festival transformed the streets of Marylebone with around 100 artisan food, drink and retail stalls, live music in Paddington Street Gardens, family activities and the popular Bark in the Park.
Working alongside We Are Placemaking and The Fair, We Are OPS managed Health & Safety planning and operational compliance, helping ensure the festival was delivered safely and professionally within a busy central London environment. Our role brought specialist event operations and festival health and safety expertise into the wider delivery team, supporting a safe and welcoming experience for visitors, traders, residents and stakeholders.
