Walsingham youth pilgrimage 2008

Affinity was delighted to manage the  2008 Youth Event at Walsingham for the second year running. Our team of event and production managers worked with the organisers for several months, creating an infrastructure, planning the layout of the campsite, obtaining technical equipment and liaising with volunteer teams.

Unfortunately, the 2007 sun did not show its face. Instead, heavy rain and hail caused flash flooding. A 6-inch river ran through the Big Top and piles of ice appeared around site. Affinity’s event and steward managers worked successfully on traffic, site and venue plans to overcome this, enabling the final event to take place in a dried-out Big Top. Departures went ahead without a hitch.

A new addition for 2008 was an ecumenical service. We are already looking forward to next year!

“Thank you for managing with such consummate professionalism. Already the Youth Pilgrimage is unimaginable without Affinity Events.  Creating safe space is vital in enabling it to happen.

“I was especially impressed with the way departure from the site was managed. Pass on my thanks to the team - they were absolutely first rate.”

Youth Camping Event

As a major provider of event management services, we were pleased to be awarded the contract to manage the 2007 Youth Event at Walsingham.  Our teams of event and production managers have been working with the organisers for the last few months to organise the infrastructure, plan the campsite and organise the technical equipment.

We provided a team of event managers to roll-out the site, manage the event and clear away everything at the end.

The event was a great success and we are already looking forward to next year.
