Glitz and Glamour Event at Silverstone

Glitz and Glamour Event at Silverstone 









‘Eventologists’ were asked to come up with a glitzy and glamorous theme for Northampton University Graduation Ball at Silverstone’s new wing. Using the Silverstone colours the students were greeted with an inspired champagne reception by paparazzi, hoping to capture that celebrity shot and dazzling show girls entertained by a Jazz trio before the guests took their seats on decadently decorated tables of candelabras and feathers whilst watching the sun set over the famous race course.
Tying the sumptuous banquet to the eventual evening’s entertainment (the infamous Professor Green) was a glittering opportunity to try ones luck in the spectacular Casino entered via the red carpet, the chances were there to boost ones wealth via blackjack, roulette and the wheel of fortune. The piece de résistance was undoubtedly the live appearance and hugely popular talents of Professor Green as our guests moved into the final scene; a stunning, pulsating, exciting environment filled with lights, lasers, glitterballs, Chandeliers , dancers on stilts and dry ice -  the party rocked into the early hours !
With that extra special ‘Eventologists’ touch of magic the event was an amazing sensation!


"Eventologists not only helped make University of Northampton Students’ Union Graduation Ball special, but also made us all feel as though we were part of the same team. Their hard work and commitment is like no other events company I have seen and they are a real credit to the industry.  If it is the highest standard, perfection and commitment you want, then the Eventologists are the best in the business."

Christmas Party Planning – ever more popular!

Christmas Party Planning – ever more popular!

The festive Christmas party fell victim to recession last year but companies are rekindling the seasonal spirit for 2012.

2011 saw budgets slashed or cancelled completely.


This year it seems the Christmas parties are back with a vengeance with an upward swing in the number of companies planning to host an event.

Event organisers have also noticed that in the last few months there have been significant increases in bookings. The Christmas Party is returning!

It’s more important than ever to boost staff morale and provide some welcome downtime for stressed employees. "A Christmas party is a way of reinforcing that you've come through a tough year and survived and it is a good way of rewarding contribution and motivating staff.

Christmas parties can provide big returns for employers for relatively little outlay.

So how do companies make the most of a party? Everything needs to tie back to your business strategy. Think about what you're going to achieve from this event:  it is the best opportunity for all to get together and share in what has been a successful year.

If you want to increase sales next year communicate with staff,  find out what they'd like, involve them in planning the event from venue, food and theme getting them working on this at an early stage will pay dividends not just from the early booking costs but also morale .

Careful forward planning means that events don't have to be expensive to work.

‘Eventologists’ event management cover everything and appreciate the demands upon companies today, to match or improve on the success of their last event or to simply think of something new and different. Our approach is innovative and exciting, giving you the best value for your budgets, covering every requirement from just one supplier whilst excelling on quality and creativity. Don’t leave your staff feeling ‘humbug’ this festive season make sure you deliver that Partridge this Christmas... you’ll enjoy the rewards in 2013.......

Asiana Catwalk Designed by Eventologists

Posted by Eventologists at 15:32 0 comments

Eventologists were commissioned to produce an innovative and creative catwalk design for the Asiana Bridal Show 2012 at Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel. Thousands of Asian Brides and Grooms visited the show to meet wedding providers including Maz of Leicester, Madhu's, Kyles Collection, Monga's, Kudos and many more.

The catwalk design of a giant rose in a sparkling silver garden and blossom style canopy created the stunning setting that the Asiana team wanted for the catwalk. The inspiration of the catwalk design came from nature and changing seasons which was replicated in the lighting that Delsonic so perfectly do.

Rita Chandarana at Eventologists states, "The influence of the catwalk design is always the pursuit of delivering magical and fairytale weddings that the Eventologists team understand so well!"

 If you missed the Asiana Bridal show in Birmingham, come and visit Eventologists and the team at Asiana Birmingham on 5th February 2012.

Checkout the sales and new products at Dockers Boxpark

Dockers were offering some great offers on Denim wear and jeans at their latest showroom at BoxPark with discounts of up to 50% off products. Check out their latest product and also go and see for yourself the great shopfit and store design created by Eventologists.

Boxpark is a new retail concept for London that acts in the benefit for the wider area promoting smaller businesses at a time when the up and coming need all the help they can get. The concept of the pop up shopping mall consisting of recycled shipping containers is a good one that expands on a well-used design principle, and offers the potential for the idea to spread not only to other parts of London but to other parts of the world. In London there are plenty of redundant sites that could benefit from Boxpark turning up overnight. Its right up projects that Eventologists enjoy since many projects that we have undertaken have involved using old materials to create new and recycling rather than starting from scratch!

Eventologists supports Everest Challenge

Posted by Eventologists at 15:26 0 comments


During April 2012, Eventologists will be supporting leading specialist oral surgeon, Dr Amit Kotecha’s Everest Summit Bid in aid of Cancer Research UK. The target is to raise over £100,000 towards the cause.

Cancer now affects 1 in 4 people and we all know of or have lost someone to this dreadful disease. Amit lost his mum to cancer over 20 years ago, so he has personal experience of the devastation this disease can cause. To mark the 20th year he has undertaken this monumental task.

His entire expedition will be self-funded so that every penny from sponsorship and donations go directly to Cancer Research UK. He will be leaving his busy dental practice based in Kirby Muxloe, his wife and children for over two months in pursuit of his goal.

On his return from the Everest Challenge, Eventologists and various other prestigious sponsors will be helping to host a charity dinner at the Porsche Garage in Leicester. Sponsors and Supporters include Timo Restaurant, Eventologists, Bentley, Marks & Spencer Fosse Park, Lumbers and many others

Donations can be made directly to this cause via the following link http://www.justgiving.com/amits-everest-challenge

Eventologists at Dockers BOXPARK

Posted by Eventologists at 15:08 0 comments



Eventologists are proud to announce the completion of the Dockers (Levi’s) store at BOXPARK in Shoreditch. The Eventologists team were recruited by Dockers to turn their creativity to develop a retail solution for a 40ft shipping container. Destined to be home to more than sixty carefully chosen fashion, arts and lifestyle brands such as Nike, Original Penguin, Levi’s, Evisu, Calvin Klein etc, BOXPARK is a retail revolution – the world’s first pop-up mall which is a fresh retail revolution.  

Eventologists worked on yet another tight deadline to strip and refit shipping containers to create a unique, branded, ‘box shop’. Dockers (Levi’s) are amongst a unique mix of international fashion, arts and lifestyle brands, galleries and cafés which make up the world’s first ‘pop-up’ mall. These retail units are so named because its basic structure are inherently movable: they can, and will, literally pop up anywhere in the world!

The Dockers BOXPARK project involved;

  • Stripping the shipping container 
  • Developing the floor, walls and ceiling concept that allowed shelves, speed rails and other display solutions to be fitted 
  • A branded but bijou fitting room 
  • Frontage fascia Bespoke lighting to fit in with brand
A critical issue was to make solutions bespoke, practical, space saving and economical and whilst Eventologists are used to tight briefs, but these criteria’s together made the project quite challenging because bespoke retail installations are costly!   

The inventors of BOXPARK, Roger Wade, creator of Boxfresh and fashion brand consultancy Brands Incorporated, in partnership with real estate developers Hammerson and Ballymore.call the project “radical stuff. It’s not some run-of-the-mall shopping centre. It’s a living, fertile community of brands packed with talent, innovation and attitude that puts creativity and fashion back where they belong: on the street.”  

The store opened on Saturday 3rd December, when Boxpark officially opened it’s doors. East london hero Dizzee Rascal kicked off proceedings jumping on the mic to officially announce the opening and was followed by sets from the almighty The Nextman and UK Hip Hop legend Jehst.

Posted by Eventologists at 15:04 0 comments

The retail shopfit that Eventologists installed for Stuarts made news in Trendy menswear magazine MWB. Having just completed a successful shopfit and retail installation for the prestigious and heritage brand Stuarts London, its great that so many menswear and fashion magazines are talking about how great it is. Stuarts is one of London’s oldest and regarded menswear retailers for heritage brands such as Pringle, Nicole Farhi, Grenson, Penguin.  

The store has been successfully trading for decades on Uxbridge Road in Shepherds Bush for many years and needed a radical facelift in the store to reflect the stunning designer led clothing collections on offer.
Provide an entire shopfit that would be stylish and contemporary as well as stand the test of time.

  • The installations and retail fitting had to be functional and yet bespoke 
  • Where possible existing structures and fittings were to be recycled 
  • A large accessories area created 
  • Clear area’s designated for brands 
  • A variety of modular and moveable options for hanging clothes and displaying clothes
Eventologists chose to mix materials and styles to create a fresh and warm atmosphere in the new retail showroom. The style was vintage and industrial to reflect the brands and the styling of the clothes.


  • Stunning railings were created which could be used for hanging clothes as well as creating shelves for stacking a variety of clothes 
  • Old gondola’s were recycled, treated and updated to match the styling of the showroom 
  • Old flagstones and reclaimed timber used for the flooring to create an authentic vintage look The changing rooms were created with glass bricks to bring in a modern fresh look, however the doors had an industrial design feature 
  • The cash desk was made to be multi-functional with accessories shelves 
  • The Stuarts brand was emphasised in the showroom on the cashdesk and specially made railings 

Sital MD of Eventologists comments, “We are delighted for the great coverage that Stuarts is getting for their shopfit and pleased that both customers and the fashion industry are so positive about the retail installation”

Eventologists makes news in Drapers Magazine having just completed a successful shopfit and installation for the prestigious and heritage brand Stuarts London. Stuarts is one of London’s oldest and regarded menswear retailers for heritage brands such as Pringle, Nicole Farhi, Grenson, Penguin. The store has been successfully trading for decades on Uxbridge Road in Shepherds Bush for many years and needed a radical facelift in the store to reflect the stunning clothing collections on offer.  

The brief was always challenging as the Stuarts Team wanted to continue trading whilst the shopfitting was being completed, whilst not compromising on design and aesthetics. Eventologists were tasked to;

  • Provide an entire shopfit that would be stylish and contemporary as well as stand the test of time 
  • The installations and retail fitting had to be functional and yet bespoke 
  • Where possible existing structures and fittings were to be recycled 
  • A large accessories area created 
  • Clear area’s designated for brands 
  • A variety of modular and moveable options for hanging clothes and displaying clothes 



Eventologists chose to mix materials and styles to create a fresh and warm atmosphere in the new retail showroom. The style was vintage and industrial to reflect the brands and the styling of the clothes.  

  • Stunning railings were created which could be used for hanging clothes as well as creating shelves for stacking a variety of clothes 
  • Old gondola’s were recycled, treated and updated to match the styling of the showroom
  • Old flagstones and reclaimed timber used for the flooring to create an authentic vintage look The changing rooms were created with glass bricks to bring in a modern fresh look, however the doors had an industrial design feature 
  • The cash desk was made to be multi-functional with accessories shelves 
  • The Stuarts brand was emphasised in the showroom on the cashdesk and specially made railings 


Sital from Eventologists comments that this was perhaps one of the most challenging projects, given that the store continued trading whilst a complete shopfit was undertaken. The showroom looks stunning now that it is finished. The store has a long and loyal customer base who have been really impressed at the new look. We wish the team at Stuarts the very best of luck with their new store – It was a pleasure working with them!

Dockers Showroom Hoxton Square

Posted by Eventologists at 14:43 0 comments

Eventologists have just finished the interior design and retail shop fitting for the first Dockers showroom in London. The brief was challenging as usual – radical within brand guidelines, environmentally friendly, fast and budget friendly - the finished product was handed over in less than 3 weeks. The starting point was an empty retail space – a box that needed filling!

The showroom design features included a stunning glass floor with the Dockers logo, vintage style and aged furniture,  multi-functional innovative shelving made from recycled materials along with a specially designed table made from marine  rope to give an industrial and utilitarian look that is so typical for Dockers world-wide. Delighted with the finished product, Robin Bolton UK Sales Manager commented “It is always tricky for retail designers when we ask them to design something revolutionary yet within strict guidelines and Eventologists interpreted and digested the brief to deliver a superbly useable and interesting showroom for our customers to come and visit. We love the aged look, which has been achieved with clever use of materials and great thought and attention to detail in achieving a truly industrial look rather than using new props re-aged that never look quite as authentic and true to the image. Eventologists are truly inspirational and a breath of fresh air as retail designers who are unique as they have all processes and manufacturing in house. We have loved working with them.”
