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.”
