Outdoor events can be fun, exciting, and memorable, but they also require careful planning and preparation to ensure safety, comfort, and success. One of the most important steps in organizing an outdoor event is conducting a site inspection, which is a thorough evaluation of the venue and its surroundings. A site inspection checklist can help you identify potential issues, risks, and solutions before the event day. Here are some of the key elements of a site inspection checklist for outdoor events.

1 Location and accessibility

The first thing to check is the location and accessibility of the venue. How easy is it to get there by public or private transportation? Is there enough parking space and signage? Are there any permits, fees, or restrictions required to use the site? How close are the nearest medical, fire, and police services? How accessible is the site for people with disabilities or special needs? You should also consider the impact of the event on the local community and environment, and how to minimize any negative effects.

It is always something a well organised team would have ironed out before the event takes place. The wet weather option is always important as the access to the outside space and smooth set up with deliveries

Additionally, how accessible is the space for large trucks that deliver needed event equipment or band backline? Will there be event spaces used where equipment need to be hand carried in? If so, long-carry/haul labor costs should be factored in.

2 Layout and capacity

The next thing to check is the layout and capacity of the venue. How much space is available for the event activities, equipment, and attendees? How will you arrange the seating, staging, lighting, sound, and power sources? How will you manage the flow of traffic, crowd control, and emergency exits? How will you ensure adequate ventilation, shade, and shelter from the weather? You should also measure and map out the site dimensions, distances, and elevations, and mark any hazards or obstacles.

3 Facilities and amenities

The third thing to check is the facilities and amenities of the venue. What are the existing or available services and resources on site, such as water, electricity, sanitation, waste disposal, catering, security, communication, and entertainment? How reliable and sufficient are they for the event needs and expectations? How will you supplement or backup any gaps or shortages? How will you monitor and maintain the quality and safety of the facilities and amenities throughout the event?

On site audits it’s crucial to identify the number of circuits and where they are distributed throughout the event spaces (assuming brick & mortar). Live Bands, catering, restroom trailers and lighting (particularly incandescent bulb lighting) will demand significant wattage. Determining what the requirements are for each use and allow for some buffer just in case the existing venues power and distribution isn’t sufficient. Or perhaps your event is in the middle of an empty field and you are bringing in generators- it’s key to understand what you need and allow for a little more, because once the large coffee percolators get plugged in mid event, it’s a real party killer if the lights go out and the music stops!

4 Risks and contingencies

The fourth thing to check is the risks and contingencies of the venue. What are the possible threats or challenges that could affect the event, such as weather, fire, accidents, injuries, illnesses, vandalism, theft, or violence? How likely and severe are they? How will you prevent or mitigate them? How will you respond or recover from them? You should also develop and communicate a clear and comprehensive emergency plan, including roles, responsibilities, procedures, equipment, and contacts.

5 Regulations and compliance

The fifth thing to check is the regulations and compliance of the venue. What are the legal and ethical obligations and standards that apply to the event, such as health and safety, environmental protection, noise control, insurance, liability, contracts, and licenses? How will you ensure that the event meets or exceeds them? How will you document and report any incidents or violations? You should also consult and coordinate with the relevant authorities, stakeholders, and experts to ensure compliance and cooperation.

6 Feedback and evaluation

The sixth thing to check is the feedback and evaluation of the venue. How will you collect and analyze the data and opinions of the event organizers, participants, suppliers, sponsors, and guests? How will you measure and report the outcomes and impacts of the event, such as attendance, satisfaction, engagement, revenue, expenses, and publicity? How will you identify and acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of the event? How will you use the feedback and evaluation to improve future events?
