Case study: Farnham Carnival and Fireworks, two years running
Medirek has covered Farnham Carnival and Fireworks for two consecutive years, so the team knows the town, the event footprint and how the crowds move on the day. Farnham Carnival takes over most of the town-centre road network and brings thousands of people onto the pavements to watch the procession. Medirek worked with the organiser to understand the medical risk and how the event would run, then produced an Event Medical Plan with a clinician-led medical centre, a roving response team and a rapid response vehicle. The teams were spread across the event footprint and briefed to "follow the demand". Patients were dealt with in-house, with no undue pressure on local healthcare.
Medirek also covers the Farnham Fireworks and Torchlit Procession for Farnham Round Table, in consecutive years, and the Aldershot Fireworks Spectacular at Manor Park, just over the Hampshire border. Details are below. See all of Medirek's recent work.
Events and venues in Farnham
Alongside the carnival, Gostrey Meadow hosts seasonal and summer events. Farnham Castle and the Maltings host concerts, fairs and markets, and the town's football and rugby clubs play through the season. Just outside town, Frensham Common and the Alice Holt area host outdoor and trail events.
Planning notes for Farnham events
Farnham's town-centre streets are narrow, and the A31 and A325 carry heavy traffic, so street events need clear routes in and out for vehicles. Frimley Park Hospital and the Royal Surrey in Guildford are the nearest emergency departments. Street events, sport and rural shows each need a different mix of foot teams, vehicles and treatment points.
