Halloween Events 2022

What we've been up to over Halloween this year

Over the years, Halloween events in the UK have increased in quantity and in size. We’ve been lucky enough this year to work at two Halloween-themed events in Hertfordshire and London, providing stage hire, PA systems and sound engineering services to fantastic community events. 


On Saturday we attended the Day of the Dead Festival in Sommers Town, Central London, organised by the UK Mexican Arts Society. We set up our medium trailer stage with the inflatable roof at the heart of the event and saw some great performers, both on it and during the parade. The crowd had a great time and it was a culture emersion into Mexican traditions for all.


Then on Sunday, we headed to Hemel Hempstead for the Old Town Halloween Party hosted by Dacorum Borough Council, that took place in the Old Town High Street. We set up our large trailer stage in the Town Hall car park and hosted performers and the fancy dress competition. It poured it down through set up but our professional team worked hard through it to get set up on time for the start of the event.

We’ve loved being part of these great events and seeing our stages fitting in perfectly and compliment these amazing festive programmes.
