A festival format elevates a corporate event by creating a memorable atmosphere, building community and encouraging longer‑lasting impact. Research shows that “festivalisation” of corporate events – injecting celebration, shared experience and immersive content helps foster stronger connections and higher engagement.

At MGN Events, we believe the right festival format transforms an event from “just another meeting” into a strategic brand moment—energising your audience, amplifying your message, and creating impact far beyond your investment.

We deliver a diverse range of corporate festivals from high‑energy branded outdoor festivals to immersive internal culture celebrations. Whether you’re looking to engage customers, reward employees or reinforce your brand, we’ll craft festivals such as:

• Outdoor “festival‑feel” events with live music, street food, entertainment and activity zones.

• Internal culture or employee‑celebration festivals that combine team building, awards, experiences and social moments.

• Product‑launch or brand‑activation festivals that combine festival structures with immersive brand storytelling and guest engagement.

Each format is tailored to your objectives, audience size, venue type and budget.

We curate venues and formats that match your ambition and audience. Options include:

• Outdoor settings such as estates, venues with large grounds, tipis, marquees or festival villages.

• Indoor festival spaces such as exhibition halls and hotel event spaces can be transformed into immersive festival environments.

• Hybrid or “day‑to‑evening” formats that combine business content with festival celebration.

Whatever the format, we ensure the right production, zoning, flow, entertainment and guest journey so the festival feels seamless and impactful.

Our end-to-end service covers every aspect of your event, including entertainment bookings, stage production, food and drink, guest management, décor, branding, health and safety, facilities, welfare and more. You’ll have one point of contact, and our onsite team of festival experts take care of all the moving parts.

Timelines vary depending on scale, format and complexity. For a smaller internal festival you might work with a 3‑ to 6‑month timeline; for larger external festivals the lead‑time may be 9‑12 months or more.

At MGN Events we excel at fast‑turnaround delivery too and we’ll provide you with a clear phased timeline: concept > design > logistics > delivery > follow up. We’ll keep you informed, aligned and supported at every step. Contact us today to get started.

Yes, we specialise in designing immersive experiences that reflect your brand and values. From creative concepts and theming to guest journeys and branded touchpoints, we ensure everything feels authentic, engaging and aligned with your identity.

Festival‑style corporate events can vary hugely in scale and spend. We’ve delivered intimate festivals for under 200 guests with budgets from around £85k, right through to large‑scale all‑company experiences for thousands of guests, with budgets upto £750k.

What you’ll need to invest depends on a number of factors: group size, venue type, time of year, production requirements, catering style, entertainment, and how far you want to push the creative.

The key is aligning the scale, design and experience with your goals and making every pound work hard.

We’ll help you explore what’s possible at different levels, and recommend the right approach to deliver maximum impact and value. Contact us today for free advice on what a sensible budget for your festival may look like.

For us the festival is never just “fun” it’s purposeful. From the outset, we apply strategic thinking: we work with you to define your goals (e.g. culture change, brand awareness, product adoption, connection), identify key audiences and map out the guest experience accordingly.

We then translate these into creative design, programming and delivery that carries your messaging through every moment — from arrival experience, activities, content, entertainment and follow up. The result is a festival that looks exceptional and drives real business outcomes.

We build measurement into the event from the start. We’ll identify the metrics that matter to you (whether that’s employee engagement scores, brand sentiment, social media engagement, lead generation, customer feedback or other key indicators).

During and after the festival, we gather data, feedback and insights to show how the experience performed against those metrics. We then provide a clear, readable post‑event summary for you and your stakeholders so you can show the value and legacy of the festival.

A bit of rain is all part of the festival spirit but when you’re investing in a large‑scale event, it’s natural to want reassurance that it can still go ahead safely, comfortably and successfully.

We plan every detail with this in mind. From fully covered structures, solid flooring and discreet drainage solutions, to wet weather logistics for catering, entertainment and guest access – we make sure the experience can continue seamlessly, even in poor conditions.

More importantly, we design the event to retain its energy and atmosphere, so guests still want to attend and stay. That includes sheltered social areas, all‑weather programming, thoughtful guest comms and a team who know how to keep the mood upbeat whatever the forecast.

In short: the show goes on – safely, smoothly and without compromise. And your investment is protected with contingency built in from day one. MGN are a true festival event partner that gets it.
