There are eight key characteristics of events. Describe each one illustrating how it might relate to the Royal de Luxe street Festival. 1. Event time and duration
• The event time and duration is simply to do with the timing of the event
• When does it start?
• When does it end?
• Is it scheduled times or an all day event?

Also as the exhibit in this case is quite tall there would need to be adequate space left if it were to fall.
Traffic risks this event would be relatively big as Each individual day of the three days required a different route and logistically the event was very demanding requiring forklifts, cranes, vans, single and double decker buses, trucks, scooters, cars, barges and boats to enable the giants to move through the route this means that people if not kept away from the motorcade of cars could be seriously …show more content…
a) If I were managing such an event steps i would take to reduce the risk would be firstly to identify the risks, assess the risks the likely hood of them happening and the impact they would have on the event. Finally manage the risks there are four ways to manage a risk
• Terminate: Eradicate the risk sometimes the risk is the event itself and that cannot be taken away the 37ft statue is a big risk if it fell it could crush a lot of people but at the end of the day it’s the attraction so that cannot be taken away.
• Treat: Contain the
• Transfer: Get a 3rd party company to deal with the risk for you so for example getting a security company in to deal with the crowd control for the event.
• Tolerate: Deal with the risk it may not be possible to do anything to prevent the risk without ruining the event e.g. reducing the traffic needed to bring the 37ft grandmother through the
