The London Marathon will take place on the 24th and 25th of April at Hatfield Park, which is only one event on the Events Research Programme (ERP) list, just launched by the British Government to test events safety.
It’s about a well-structured plan, using the same principles seen in other European countries trials, based on screening studies and scientific data. The events taking place are important sports matches, concerts, shows and indoor corporate events as much as outdoor, welcoming hundreds and even thousands of people.
Rox Event Staff is the only event staffing agency in the UK that helps you take the headache out of staffing, event marketing and management in one place.
All our Event Staff took the mass gathering course by WHO, which is now mandatory for them to work with us.

Trial events: sport, music and business
Among the Events Research Programme, the EFL Cup Final draws the attendance of 8 thousand football supporters on the 25th of April and 18.4 thousand people on the semi-final.
There is also a 300 guests indoor concert and the marathon we just mentioned. HERE’s the complete list.
Corporate and business events are part of the programme, such as the one happening in Liverpool on the 28th of April. The trial will see thousands of people meeting indoors, both seated and socialising.
How pilot events work to reopen the event industry safely
The program principle to reopen events is to test specific settings and understand which one is more efficient. Therefore, it’s all about studying the location measures, which the Government will apply from the 21st of June when lockdown in the UK should end with all its last restrictions.
The role of event venues is crucial in this trial phase. Researchers will collect data and compare them with other locations in the programme. Social distancing, ventilation and different layouts will be tested and examined. In some venues, guests will be able to move around freely, and in others, they won’t. Participants will wear face masks in some of the events, and not others and so on.
Guests will take a swab test before and after the event and receive clear instructions about it when registering or buying the event ticket. Besides, they will also need to sign an agreement and can attend only when Covid-19 symptom-free at the event.
Collaboration with local authorities will be vital too. Other trialled measures are transportation to reach the pilot events, drinks sales and catering.
Finally, the immunity passport will be part of the trials, which everyone highly criticises since it goes against privacy.
Rox Event Staff is at your disposal with our knowledge, our equipment and network of experts.
