Helping your event secure approval and run smoothly
We understand that organising a music festival, outdoor concert or live entertainment event involves balancing a lot of competing priorities.
You need to create an unforgettable experience for your audience while giving local authorities, residents and stakeholders confidence that noise will be carefully managed.
That's where we can help.
At Spratt + Hamer, we work with event organisers, promoters, venues and production teams across the UK to provide practical noise assessments and event monitoring services that support successful events from planning through to delivery.
Practical advice from the outset
Successful events begin with good planning.
We'll help you understand how sound from your event is likely to be experienced beyond the site boundary and identify any areas that may require particular attention.
Supporting events of all sizes
If you're planning:
A community music festival
An outdoor concert series
A food and drink festival with live entertainment
A cultural event or celebration
A sporting event with amplified sound
A large-scale commercial festival
We can work with you to understand your plans and develop an approach that reflects the scale and nature of your event.
No two sites are the same, which is why every assessment is tailored to the specific location, audience and surrounding environment.
“Spratt and Hamer are efficient and understand our needs, including the financial constraints that may apply.
We’d definitely work with them again – in fact we’re currently working on a project together now!”

Building confidence in your event
Noise is often one of the first issues considered by local authorities when reviewing applications for outdoor events.
A professional noise assessment helps demonstrate that potential impacts have been considered, appropriate controls are in place and the event can operate responsibly alongside neighbouring communities.
By identifying potential concerns early, it's often possible to avoid delays, reduce objections and create a smoother path through the approval process.
Event monitoring when it matters most
Planning is only part of the picture.
Many event organisers and local authorities require professional noise monitoring during the event itself to demonstrate that agreed limits are being achieved and that any issues can be addressed quickly.
Our consultants can provide on-site monitoring throughout your event, giving you real-time information and practical support when it matters most.
This allows you to:
Demonstrate compliance with agreed requirements
Respond quickly to changing conditions
Reduce the risk of complaints
Maintain positive relationships with local communities
Focus on delivering a successful event
Having experienced acoustic consultants on hand provides reassurance for organisers, production teams and stakeholders alike.
