THIS Event Co is a team of passionate project managers, event planners and party starters. Part of THAT Group, development and hospitality experts, we believe that the events we create can be more than a gimmick, providing spaces for people to relax, escape and become immersed, whether for one day or an entire season.
In 2014 we opened our first Ice Rink in Clifton with a completely unique indoor / outdoor design, now into our fourth year we are the largest Ice Rink provider in the UK, operating our SKATE brand across Bath, Bournemouth, & Southampton. In addition to our rinks, and new for the 2017 /18 season, we launched our Moguls Alpine Bar at all three sites. An Austrian Apres-Ski Chalet, Moguls keeps our customers warm and jolly through the festive seasons.
Whilst ice rinks have been our speciality, in 2014 we also worked with Beerd Brewery, Bath Ales, Boneshaker Magazine and G.F. Smith to create an all summer long pop-up focussing on the arts, coffee and cycling known as THAT Clifton Pop-up. 2018 saw us return to summer events with SLIDE, our 120m waterslide, that took over Richmond Hill in Bournemouth for both 2018 and 2019. Most recently, we worked with Artcrank, a world renowned team of art curators to bring Bournemouth’s first cycle themed poster show that we hosted along with our sister company THIS Workspace in the stunning Echo Building.
Whether summer or winter, all of our events are made possible by our hands-on approach, a guiding principle of THIS Event Co. We are always there, from start to finish, on the ground, working with everyone from carpenters to councils to ensure our vision becomes reality.
Our partners also play a vital role and by working with well-known local heroes we make sure that we supply only the highest quality food and drink to our customers. It’s one of the many ways we get involvement from the community with the belief that in doing so we can enrich the neighbourhood.
Interested in becoming a partner or have something that might work well at our event? Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
