Last minute event planning and offers

While some events are planned 12-18 months in advance, we've noticed a growing trend toward shorter lead times at all four of our venues. Many clients are taking advantage of our late availability offers, making it possible to organise memorable events on a tighter schedule.

Here are our top three tips when planning a last-minute event:

1. Define your goals

Be clear about your event goals and make sure everyone involved understands their specific responsibilities. When time is short, having everyone on the same page helps prevent uncertainty, duplication, and overlooked tasks, ensuring a smoother and more successful event planning process.

2. Find a venue with an experienced and supportive team

If you’re organising an event alone it can feel overwhelming, but there’s no need to panic! Finding a great venue and a trustworthy team is key. At Bath’s Historic Venues, our experienced and friendly team is here to guide you through every step of the planning process. From suggesting suppliers to finalising logistics, we'll be with you throughout the planning phase and during your event, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

3. Prioritise and divide up your to do list

With limited time for planning, it's crucial to stay organised and focused. Start by prioritising your tasks, categorising them into 'essential' and 'nice to have.' This clarity will streamline your decision-making process, enabling you to swiftly move from one task to the next and manage your planning window more effectively.
