Here at NR Events we had been busy working away over the last few months for the Cheltenham Science Festival. We were lucky enough to be handed the production from Cheltenham Festivals, to create a memorable event for many families, school groups, and science enthusiasts locally as well as nationally.
The festival ran from 7th – 12th June and featured numerous talks and presentations from โhow to hack a carโ to wild electricity displays and interactive VR headset demonstrations. There were plenty of free areas to explore too, such as the Arcade, which focused on technology and gaming and the Makershack which showcased the โDIYโ side of science. Hartpury College, GE, and many other sponsors hosted numerous activities and if you still hadnโt got your fill of new knowledge, then Waterstones had a whole range of informative reads in their on-site bookshop.
Production is an integral part of any successful festival and event and we knew we had a large task on our hands with the scale of the Science Festival. It was important for us to nail even the tiniest of details and be hands on when it came to building and taking down the site. We had to think about everything from the size and shape of each marquee to how many fence panels we would need for the site perimeter.
Working on a new project like this was a huge learning curve and the resurgence of full-scale events in 2022 made our job especially difficult. Considering the Queenโs Platinum Jubilee the weekend before and the limited supply of event necessities, such as tents, portable toilet units and more, it was a struggle to source some specific items that the festival is used to having. However, it allowed us to get to work with different supply companies and force us to find alternatives, which in some cases worked out for the better.
We look forward to hopefully working with the amazing team at Cheltenham Festivals in the future. We wish them luck with the rest of their festival season doing Music and Literature!ย

The NBPA Conference at Cheltenham Racecourse hosted inspiring keynotes and sparked conversations and debates about how the police can better tackle racism and diversity, both within its workforce and amongst the community.
The exhibitions in the Hall of Fame also acted as a great networking space for delegates and a chance to find out more about organisations such as the College of Policing and the RAF Police.
Key speakers included former cricketer @azeemrafiq30, lawyer and activist @sholamos1, and former detective turned writer and advocate @kevin_maxwell. All hosted by the brilliant journalist @poornabell ๐

Over the course of this year, we have had the privilege of producing the National Black Police Association Conference 2022 for this year's host, Gloucestershire Constabulary, @glospolice.
The association is a key agent in tackling issues of racism and diversity within the UK Police Force and building relationships with ethnic minority communities.
A huge thank you to #tivolicheltenham @tivolicinemas for hosting our Welcome Event and providing a stunning setting for an evening of networking, food, and drinks. The screens also offered a chance for thought-provoking short films on racism and diversity in the UK to be showcased to the guests.
Swipe for more photos of a memorable evening from the brilliant @redtog ๐
