Commissioned Events

Yellow Bus Events can organise large and small events on a commissioned basis. Recent examples include:

Preston Riversway Festival

In July 2010 we were commissioned by Preston City Council to take our bus and a great selection of street entertainers to the Riversway Festival.

University of Sheffield

When the University of Sheffield celebrated 100 years since incorporation we were charged with organising a ‘carnival/festival’ event in the grounds of Weston Park for 12,000 people. As core attractions we brought in a big top circus, music stage, walkabout entertainments, traditional carousel, themed Victorian entertainers and children’s activities. The events was so successful that we were then commissioned to organise a Christmas Festival for the University the same year.

DLA Fireworks Display

When International law firm DLA opened new offices we were charged with staging a massive fireworks display which was set off remotely from the roof of their building.

Star City – Birmingham

For three consecutive years we organised a 20 ride travelling theme park at the Star City complex in Birmingham during the October Half Term. The event increased footfall by over 30,000 during the weeks.

Go Free Festival

In September 2009 we were commissioned to stage a park based festival aimed at promoting public transort use. The one day event attracted over 4,000 visitors with a range of family based attractions and displays. (See header picture above featuring unicyclist).
