🎪Event sites
Designing an outdoor event site
Events mode lays out a UK outdoor event site — stages, camping, car parks, routes and welfare — sized from the attendance by UK event guidance, with the basis of every quantity shown.
Attendance & demand
The Event demand dialog, field by field: event type profiles, the arrival profile, the fire-risk level, and the demand lines it produces with their basis badges.
Zones, objects & the Stage builder
Event zone kinds and their capacities, the seven library categories and their parameters, the Stage builder and its presets, the helicopter landing site, barriers and trackway.
Build, live & derig
Everything on an event site says when it is there: presence sets on objects, zones and barrier runs, the view phase, and pinning a sketch sheet to one phase.
The event checks
What the event rule pack checks: provision, exits and travel distance, exit separation, the fire-appliance route and its gates, extinguishers, walking routes and severance, the queue at the gate, the Martyn's Law notes; the rule pack and loading your own.
Power runs: generators, battery packs and distribution boxes
Draw the cable runs from each generator, battery pack and distribution box to the rides, stalls and traders it feeds, protect them where they cross a path or a road, and see when a source is overloaded.
Rides: what is checked and what is not
The fairground ride checks on an event site — ride envelopes, entrances and exits, phases, generator capacity, overhead power lines and licensed hours — what each one measures, the figures that are ours, and the things no ride check will ever claim.
Site conditions: flood, ground and weather
What Fetch site data reads for an event site: the national flood map for each nation the site is in, what each nation's zones mean, the ground and its drainage, the typical weather for the event's month as a 30-year average (never a forecast), the wind and tower notes, what is not assessed, and the credits each source requires.
Crowd simulation (indicative)
Crowd simulation in Events mode (Beta, behind its own crowd flag): an indicative Flow model of one crowd enclosure, or the whole site to its perimeter gates, evacuating through its exits with the largest exit lost or the exits you choose to block, shown beside the static exit check; the timeline, the maps (clearance, density, time above a line, congestion), the results, the day profile of arrivals and the entry queue, saved results and when they read as out of date, the Event Safety Plan section and its verification appendix, what it leaves out, and what later stages add.
Martyn's Law readiness
The Martyn's Law readiness check: whether the event reads as a qualifying event under s.3(1) of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, the duties checklist and its three states, safer areas, vehicle security barriers and HVM openings, public roads from OpenStreetMap, who sees the security layout (review links, share links and admin views do not), the restricted Security plan PDF, and sending a copy without the security layout. The duties are not yet in force.
Hire schedule & budget
Every event object, barrier run, trackway and car park as a hire line with its period from the phases it is on site; the indicative built-in rate card, the camping and glamping rates, the glamping-operator switch and “rate not set”, editing the card and loading your supplier’s quote.
Library groups and what counts on an event site
The Residential, Retail and Events groups in the library, search and the twin chip, and which original 3D objects count on an event site: their event category, what they provide, their hire line and their phases.
Schedules, reports & exports
The event schedules on sketch sheets, the planning report, the Event Safety Plan appendix, the DXF layers including the route layers, the restricted Security plan PDF, and review links for the Safety Advisory Group.
Sources and what is ours
Every source Events mode cites, with its status — Checked, Reproduced or Assumption — and the complete list of thresholds and figures that are our own.
