Case Study: Cheese and Chilli Festival achieves accurate event planning with OnePlan Events

How The Cheese & Chilli Festival uses OnePlan for Accurate Event Planning

Cheese and Chilli Festival, a family event run four times a year with up to 9,000 attendees and more than 120 food vendors, needed a more accurate way to plan its complex sites. Before using OnePlan Events and its OnePlan platform, Director Simon Stewart relied on spreadsheets, Google Maps images, and PowerPoint, which made it difficult to maintain scale accuracy, capture data, and produce professional site plans.

With OnePlan Events, Simon now builds accurate, to-scale event maps using a single platform, complete with infrastructure, quantities, what3words locations, costs, and installation details. The solution has improved planning speed, stakeholder sharing, and safety management through tools for crowd, queue, evacuation, and emergency vehicle routing, helping the festival present reliable planning information for emergency services, licensing, and local authority stakeholders.
