Setting up Packing up
1. It will take approximately 1 hour to set up/pack up with a short travelling distance from the parking spot and the location the event is taking place. It is the customer’s responsibility to advise prior to paying the deposit of obstructions of any form (such as crowds of people, flights of stairs or long distances to carry equipment) as this will mean that pack up and set up will take considerably longer.

Any accidents, damages or loss of power resulting in poorly laid wires between the power points and the performance area is your responsibility.

If this information is not disclosed to ForestEdge Productions Ltd. ForestEdge Productions Ltd. reserves the right to add this amount on to his/her payment. They also reserve the right not to set up at all if they feel that your venue is either not safe or inconvenient to set up. In this case payment in full will be required from the client.
