What’s Next for Events in 2026? Your Guide to Planning for the Year Ahead

Thursday 20 November 2025 by kava_content

As we wrap up another year, it’s time to look ahead at how events are set to evolve in 2026. The coming year will see a shift in how people connect, celebrate, and create memorable experiences.  

1. The Rise of Micro-events 

We predict that many businesses will move towards smaller, more intimate events that focus on specific audiences. These micro-events allow for more meaningful networking, personalised experiences, and a stronger sense of community. 

If you’re hosting a corporate gathering, our saddlespan tents offer the perfect temporary event structure to accommodate your guests in style. The S2000 Saddlespan, for example, can comfortably host between 120 and 500 people. Making it an excellent choice for smaller-scale celebrations. 

2. Feast-style Dining 

Feast-style dining is set to become even more popular in 2026. This a great way for guests to have a shared dining experience and simplifies splitting the bill equally. As well as this, guests can try a range of dishes and connect over the food.  

3. Integrated ‘Phygital’ Events 

‘Phygital’ is the term used to describe a hybrid of physical and digital events. In 2026, we expect to see more events embracing technology to create more immersive interactions between attendees and delegates. This might be through improved live streaming, AI networking, or VR experiences.   

4. Increased Wellness-focused spaces 

As the global wellness economy grows, its influence on events continues to expand. Next year, we’ll see more wellness-focused spaces at corporate events and festivals. From healthy bars to yoga and meditation areas to micro-spas.  

Our Saddlespan tents can easily be adapted to include dedicated wellness areas, separate from your main event. Check out our full range. 

5. Embracing Local Culture and Produce 

Community engagement continues to rise in event planning. Expect more event organisers embracing local culture and produce, whether it’s through hiring local entertainment teams or catering that uses local ingredients. This trend not only helps to boost local economies but also provides healthier, seasonal meals to guests. 

We hope these 2026 trends help you to stay ahead at your next event and plan something truly memorable.

Wednesday 12 November 2025 by kava_content

With so many events over the Christmas period, it can be difficult to know how to cut through the noise. Here’s our simple guide to help you make the most of your marketing budget and spread the word about your event, so it stands out. 

Start promoting early 

Give yourself plenty of time to build awareness. Start promoting early to reach people before their calendars fill up with other Christmas parties and celebrations. 

Choosing a unique venue is one of the best ways to create buzz around your event. Our saddlespan tents are striking temporary event structures that can be tailored to any celebration. Whether you’re hosting a lively Christmas party, a corporate winter gathering, or a cosy sit-down festive dinner, a saddlespan tent provides both flexibility and wow factor. Take a look at our full range here. 

Create festive social media accounts 

If you haven’t already, set up social media accounts to help promote your event. For public events, platforms like Facebook and TikTok are great for reaching large audiences. For corporate events, LinkedIn is ideal for sharing updates and connecting with professionals. 

During the Christmas season, social feeds will be jam-packed with content! Therefore, you’ll need to stand out. Create engaging posts such as festive videos, competitions, or giveaways to capture attention. Whether it’s funny, heartwarming, or informative, make sure your content reflects the event you’re hosting. 

Entice guests with festive discounts  

A lot of people’s inboxes around this time of year will fill up quickly. When emailing your audience, try to give them something someone else hasn’t – a special festive discount codes is always a win. 

Make sure your email design feels seasonal by using Christmas colours, icons, and imagery to get readers into the festive mood. 

Don’t forget to carry the festive theme into your event space. When hiring one of our saddlespan tents, you can decorate to your heart’s desire. We recommend using fairy lights, lanterns, and winter plants such as holly and poinsettias to create a warm, elegant atmosphere. 

Get seen on search engines 

Ensure your event is easy to find online. Optimise your event page or website with relevant keywords. For example, Christmas event near me or festive corporate event. 

Keep all information up to date, including dates, times, ticket details, and location, so potential guests can find everything they need quickly. 

Spread the word 

Talk about your event wherever possible, whether it’s at networking events, community gatherings, or even over the phone. Encourage your team, friends, and attendees to share the event with their networks too. There’s lots to talk about when you have a show-stopping venue like one of our saddlespan tents.  

It’s important to have a clear strategy when it comes to promoting your event. We hope these tips will help you on your way to throwing a successful festive event.
