Fun day planner
Add up what it will cost, what you might take and how many people you need through the gate to break even. Change the numbers until the committee is happy.
Tips for realistic numbers
- Base visitor numbers on your last event or your membership and their families, not the best day you can imagine. Then plan for a wet-weather version.
- Get written quotes for attractions, toilets and marquees, and check whether they include delivery, set-up and VAT.
- Remember the small things that add up: change floats, card readers, signs, bin bags, prizes and insurance.
- If you're running a raffle, check the rules in our raffles and lotteries guide first.
- The break-even figure assumes your raffle, pitch fees and sponsorship come in whatever the turnout.
