Casual event staff roles we supply
Temporary event staff for every part of the day.
Event staff are the temporary team who run the guest-facing and operational side of an event: registration, hosting, cloakroom, information points, wristband checks, queue and floor support.
Book one role or combine several on a single booking, briefed together and run as one team. We staff conferences, exhibitions, corporate occasions, festivals, sports fixtures, county shows and launches, and one point of contact covers every city on the booking.
Registration and arrivals
Check-in desks, guest lists, badges and wristbands. We staff them heavily for the arrivals peak and thin them out once the room has filled. For delegate-led events, see our conference staff.
Hosts and front of house
Welcome desks, cloakrooms, information points and VIP areas: the people guests come back to with a question. More on our event hosts.
Exhibition and stand teams
Stand staff open conversations, qualify visitors and capture leads. Entry and visitor services teams support organisers running the hall. See our exhibition staff.
Corporate and awards teams
Guest check-in, VIP care and awards night running order for occasions a company hosts itself, in black tie or business dress. More on corporate event staff.
Festival and outdoor teams
Wristband exchange, access points, brand bars and general site support for multi-day outdoor events. We brief the team on the zone plan before the gates open. See our festival staff.
Team leaders and managers
A named lead runs the team, deals with the venue and handles shift changes, so operational questions don't reach you on the day. On larger bookings an on-site event manager takes the whole floor.
Event staffing services: Briefing and training
Checked, briefed and accounted for.
Right to work and ID confirmed for every person before placement. Employer's and Public Liability cover on every booking, with DBS, food hygiene and alcohol licensing added when the venue asks for them.
A written briefing covers your running order, your guests, your dress code and who escalates to whom, so the team arrive knowing the event as well as the address.
Every person on the booking is paid through our PAYE, with National Insurance and HR handled in-house. The whole booking sits on one itemised quote.
Shift reminders and geo-tagged check-ins show who has arrived, so a gap is picked up early, and our 24/7 support line is answered day and night while your shifts run.
Where our event staff work
The desk, the door and the floor.
Guests remember the queue at registration, the person who knew where the breakout room was and how fast their coat came back at the end. People staff those moments, and when the team is thin or unbriefed they are the first parts of the day to go wrong.
You set the brief, the venue and the hours. We supply temporary event staff chosen for each role, briefed on your event and managed by our team on the day. We don't supply licensed security or stewarding, production staff or catering.

Event staffing questions answered
Event staffing, cover and booking: your questions.
What are event staff?
Event staff are the temporary team who run the guest-facing and operational side of an event: registration, hosting, cloakroom, information points, wristband checks, queue and floor support. We supply, brief and manage them, from one person for a single shift to a full team with team leaders.
Which roles can you staff at an event?
Guest-facing and operational roles: registration and check-in, hosting and cloakroom, information points, access and wristband checks, queue and floor support, brand bars and merchandise sales, with team leaders over them. Licensed security and stewarding aren't roles we supply.
Can one booking cover the whole event?
Yes. Registration, hosts, cloakroom, floor and bar teams can sit on one booking, with one brief and one itemised quote. If your event has an exhibition hall or a sponsor area, those teams join the same booking.
Do you work with event agencies and organisers?
Yes. Organisers, event agencies and production companies book us as their staffing partner. The team works to your run sheet and dress code, under your name where you need it, and we never approach your client.
Do you staff sports fixtures, race meetings and county shows?
Yes. Match days, race meetings and showgrounds each run to their own timings, so we brief the team on gates, zones and changeovers before the day. More on our sports event staff and county show staff.
What happens if someone doesn't turn up?
Geo-tagged check-ins show who has arrived, so a gap is picked up at the start of the shift rather than at the end of the day. The project manager on your booking picks it up at any hour.
How many staff do I need for an event?
There is no fixed ratio: it depends on guest numbers, how arrivals are spread, how many areas open at once and how long the event runs. Send us the run sheet and floor plan and we'll propose a team by role and shift, with a team leader over larger teams.
What drives the cost of event staffing?
Headcount, the roles, shift length and start times, the city, weekend or late working, and how many days the event runs. When you hire event staff from us, every quote is built on your dates and itemised, so you see each role and shift before you confirm.
How much notice do you need?
Late requests are welcome, and more notice widens the pool we match from. December and the summer festival and awards weekends fill first in every city, so raise those early.
Where in the UK can you supply event staff?
Anywhere in the UK, we operate nationwide, from 40 staffing hubs. City teams work from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, across Scotland, Newcastle, Liverpool, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Southampton, Brighton, Kent and Belfast. Smaller cities have local teams too, including Milton Keynes, Northampton, Oxford, Cambridge, Reading, Norwich, Exeter, Plymouth and Hull. Towns between hubs, such as Cheltenham, get their teams from the nearest one.
