to attend more than one event to get to spend time with their teams. Please reach out to one of
the event team at event.help@bromford.co.uk if you would like to attend more than one event.

What can I expect from this event?

This end-of-summer get-together is for all colleagues and includes free food, drinks and plenty
of festival-style entertainment. It's a chance to spend time with colleagues from across BFL,
meet new people, relax and celebrate everything we've achieved together over the past year.

Can I just turn up or do I need to book?

You will need to book your place in advance using the registration form, this is so we can ensure
there is enough food and drink for all the attendees. You will not be allowed entry if you have not
pre-booked a place.
On the booking form, you will need to provide your details, if you require a coach place and any
dietary and accessibility requirements.

share where possible.

Yes. We’ll be providing a number of coaches to specified drop-off and pick-up from various
locations. Please make sure you fill in the registration form with your preferred location and
we’ll do our best to organise you transport if we can however, this will be based on the number
of people who require transport from each location i.e. if we only have 2 people wanting
transport from that location it would not be viable to put it on.
