The Crane Event

That moment when a person realises that our business name is indeed a glorious pun :) #thecraneevent #themainevent

Last month we hosted Eddington’s first-ever carnival! 🌈🎶 The cricket pitch came alive with local talent, craft stalls, fitness sessions, and global cuisine - bringing thousands of residents and locals together to celebrate culture, creativity, and community.

The Brief (from ourselves): Write a blog about the symbiotic relationship between event marketing & production, tie it to whatever’s trending in the event world & throw in as many Willy Wonka references as possible! Challenge accepted… bit.ly/Wonkablog #WorldBookDay

@TheChiefCheese that was the kick up the butt I needed! Totally slipped me by. Signing up now.

Our grand finale of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown is our illumination of King’s College, captured beautifully by our good friend, @acambridgediary. And with that, our countdown is complete. We hope you enjoyed it, and we look forward to delivering more events in 2024!

On day 11 of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown, we think back to bringing the fun of the fair to an International Educational Business to welcome their VIPs. We’re talking mindreading tour guides, personalised cotton candy and mirrors crazier than a clown car! #theme #events

Starting from modest origins to having our own dedicated studio, conducting workshops for children and young adults, and developing and crafting series for businesses - day 10 of our The Crane Event Christmas Countdown is all about podcasting! #podcasting #podcasts #podcaststudio

On the 9th day of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown, we cast our mind to the Eddington #FestiveMarket. We’re talking traditional alpine huts, pipping hot mulled drinks, choirs, a Santasaurus, numerous workshops, curling lanes… wait… go back a minute… a Santasaurus? Why not!

The 8th day of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown focuses on us delivering a community fireworks display in Hemingford that has all the trimmings, bonfire, music, locally sourced food & drink and of course, the explosions in the sky themselves… #eventmanagement #communityevents

On the 7th day of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown, we reminisce on the work we’ve done alongside the fantastic Cambridge University Hospitals in delivering recognition events from Retirement to Long Service, to Divisional and their annual CUH Awards show. #events #awards

Day six of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown... from supporting European events in Sweden and France to giving a true Cambridge experience to groups from China, Switzerland, and the United States - 2023 really has satisfied our wanderlust! #destinationmangement

On the Fifth Day of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown, we think back to September when we conceived and delivered a series of walking trails and illuminations to highlight Organ Donation Week. #eventmanagement #eventproduction #awarenesscampaigns

Company summer event. Check. Family Festival Vibe. Check. Fun and Games. Check. Fire breathing Giant Robot. Check! Softwire is the focus of our 4th day of The Crane Event Christmas Countdown and what a cracker it was! #eventmanagement #eventproduction #corporatefestival

On the 3rd day of The Crane Event, we look back to the Cambridge Folk Festival where we joined Novahub to project manage the event Wifi installation. Once the festival went live, we donned our hospitality hats and welcomed the VIP guests. #eventmanagement #CamFolkFest #cambridge

The 2nd day of The Crane Event Christmas countdown is going off with a bang! Our delightful client wanted a retirement bash to remember, so we lined up spectacular fireworks, exploding confetti balloons, smoking cocktails and flashes of colour. #eventmanagement #cambridge #events

On day 1 of 'The 12 Days of The Crane Event' we're taking you back to when we transformed Eddington Square into a bustling Beer Garden. Live music, great food, and craft beer from local breweries. A great way to kick off our season! #eventmanagement #eventmarketing #cambridge
