We were delighted to be invited back to Thorpe Park to assist with another corporate event taking place in the park’s event space. SAM Fest is Samsung’s very own festival/conference for around 600 delegates, which takes place once a year and allows Samsung to showcase some of their latest technology and ideas. This year the chosen theme was a tropical beach, we contributed to this with our beach bar mobile bar as well as our beach themed mobile bar and a circular mirrored mobile bar for an inside setting.
As you will see from the above picture, our beach themed mobile bars were 6 meters long and situated on their very own artificial beach around the pool side area of Thorpe Park, with bean bags and deck chairs to boot it was almost as if you were at the Copacabana itself. We supplied two beach bar mobile bars, covered with a homemade reed screen, along with full bar support. Our full bar support package includes flair bartenders and mixologists for a healthy mix of professional cocktails and entertainment; as well as bar backs to ensure both bars were running smoothly throughout service, a bespoke cocktail menu and all stock.
As this was an event for Samsung, a South Korean company, a bespoke drinks offering was put together with shots of Soju available. A Soju based cocktail was created specifically – alongside 2 other alcoholic cocktails and one non-alcoholic cocktail. As we were on a beach there was none of our usual crystal cut glassware in use, however instead of turning to our high end polycarbonate glassware we opted for something a little different in the shape of these clear pouches you can see below.
Our very own Soju Cocktail was very popular:
Soju, Passion Fruit Liquor, Passion Fruit Puree, Pineapple Juice and Topped with Prosecco.
In addition to our bespoke cocktail menu, full bar support and two beach bar mobile bars we also supplied a small range of props in the shape of vintage beach crates, where people who couldn’t get to the bar could quickly and easily acquire an ice cold beverage. The beach crates fit in with the beach theme perfectly and also provided a fantastic alternative outlet to the two mobile bars that became quite crowded, quite quickly – with 600 delegates in attendance.
Featuring in a marquis, away from the beach area, was also our beautiful circular mirrored bar. This bar was supplied separately to our beach bar mobile bars and as such was only needed in a dry bar hire setting, with no staff, beverages or bar support required.
