Stage Hands and Event Crew in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is Scotland's energy capital, and its events scene reflects the offshore oil, gas and renewables industries. The P&J Live arena and exhibition centre near the airport hosts concerts, conferences and trade events, and the Offshore Europe-style energy exhibitions have historically been associated with the city. His Majesty's Theatre and the Music Hall stage performing arts, while Pittodrie hosts football. Duthie Park and the beach esplanade are used for outdoor events, and the surrounding Aberdeenshire castles and estates are popular for weddings and marquees. The distance from central Scotland makes planning for crew travel and equipment transport important.
