Description

]WBC is looking for companies interested in providing a Real Ice Rink & Market Huts to hire for the 2021-22 winter season. There is potential if this project is successful and build upon the structure laid out for 2021 to become an annual event. The site specified to host the event is the Events Field, Cantley Park, Wokingham. We are also looking for options for secondary income, however the Ice Rink is to be the main attraction. This could included an ice bar, curling lanes, or other festive themed attractions within the Ice Rink setting/marquee etc. but are open to other options.

Within the Winter Event 2021, we would like the rink to be inside, for use in all-weather conditions. Functionality will need to be provided to allow advanced bookings and "on-the-gate" bookings, similar to the Eventbrite software and app that is currently used by the Sport & Leisure and Arts & Culture teams. There is the requirement for 30 market huts, with usage for food & drink vendors and local retail business as part of Christmas Market area. One of the huts will be used for a Santa's grotto visit (undercover) which will require functionality for advanced and "on-the-gate" bookings.
