Urgent consult re April SVM
Just when we have found a better footprint at Sydney Olympic Park, we need to change both the day of the month and the site map due to another event, aka The Easter Show, clashing with our usual date! The Show uses Cathy Freeman Park and they will still be bumping out on the 24th.
Thankfully just one month is affected - and believe us when we say we checked a million times if it was possible to stay under those gorgeous trees, damn it!
They have offered us the use of Fig Grove, which is diagonally opposite the Yulang space where we were initially - there is a gorgeous park right next to it where we are imagining many attendees would sit and enjoy, the stalls surround some lovely water fountains and there are some shaded grassed areas through the middle of the site too, but the issues we can see are:
Whilst the end of April is likely to be cooler, there is very little shade for food lines and for temperature sensitive products - we are looking at the possibility of some temporary shading but we are still in discussions around this
Attendees and stall holders seem to like the current layout, and we are concerned that this temporary change may set us back again - but perhaps if we also change it to Nights this might counteract that?
We’ve had to change the April date most years due to clashing events, but adding the changed footprint just feels a little more risky.
We have been considering some options and keen to hear your thoughts too!
Action: Please fill out the below form below and select your preference by 10am Friday March 25 and we will make a call and let you know by the end of day. Thanks!
