Bump Out

Friday 17 May: 7am - 3pm*
Please note: The 3pm finish time refers to the time we have venue tenancy till and therefore your stands are expected to be cleared by 12pm of any materials and stock to allow Harry the hirer to take down walling and load the trucks before venue tenancy ends. Any contracted stand builder with the exception of Harry the hirer will not have site access until 9pm on event day to commence bump out. This is to allow our logistics provider to get crates back to stands and ensure the safety of everyone.
