  1. Community Festival for Three Hundred: Every Utility Arrives on a Lorry

    A field gives you space and permission. Power, water, toilets, light, waste and a firm floor all have to be delivered, and three hundred people notice when one is missing.

  2. Wedding for Two Hundred and Fifty: The Kitchen Is Now the Guest List
