These employees require welfare units, such as break rooms, planning rooms, storage rooms etc.  Based on the size of the festival and the amount of employees, an event facility management company would be able to advise you.

3. Temporary Fencing : A must for any summer festival, temporary fencing ensures no one enters the event without a ticket. They also mark out lines for attendees to queue in, these are especially important at festival entry points and can restrict guests entering employee or VIP areas.
