My role was delivering events for families, local groups, and corporate partners across the park. I managed end-to-end event production, from planning and logistics to on-the-day delivery, ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely.
This included creating risk assessments, handling event documentation, and managing admin like invoices, purchase orders, and post-event data collection. I collaborated with internal teams and external suppliers to bring each event to life while keeping everything on track.
This role strengthened my skills in event coordination, stakeholder communication, and operational management, helping me confidently lead events from concept to wrap-up.
Husaini Islamic Centre End-of-Year Celebration: I supported the delivery of this vibrant cultural celebration as part of Nene Park Trust’s community events programme. My role involved event coordination, logistics, and on-site support, helping ensure the day ran smoothly for hundreds of attendees.
Foodie Friday at Nene Park Trust: I produced Foodie Friday from concept to delivery. Designed to celebrate Peterborough’s diverse communities, the event brought together 6 food and drink vendors and 2 live musicians, on 2 different evenings for an evening of great food and feel-good vibes at Ferry Meadows.
I led on planning, vendor sourcing, logistics, and on-the-day delivery, working closely with the NPT team to bring the vision to life.
