ARCHIVE PRESS RELEASE: 4500 Party goers can't be wrong!
Swindon based event management company Planet Pursuits toasts the success of its third year running Christmas Parties in Swindon. Over 4500 people attended the 2008 Ocean's 14 - Las Vegas theme party. The company is now planning Hollywood with a capacity of 450 and plans to open a second venue for 300 in Swindon for 2010.
Planet Pursuits is no stranger to delivering large scale theme parties, but ticketed events are a new development for this entrepreneurial company. Director, Simon Maddison, spotted a gap in the market in Swindon and took a punt on a five year contract for hiring out December at the exhibition hall at Steam - The Museum of the GWR. It looks like the punt has paid off as Simon's expectation were exceeded with over 10 full party nights.
He's now planning a similar approach to host a summer music style festival on the family organic farm in Purton next year- watch this 'event' space!
