Planning checklist for events in Brighton

• Confirm load-in times, loading bay or access route and parking with the venue or site manager
• Check any noise, curfew or road-closure restrictions that affect build and get-out times
• Send your RAMS, site rules and call sheet so the crew can be briefed properly
• Decide whether you need a crew chief, forklift cover or specialist rigging support
