Signs must be corflute and were possible, professionally produced. Each location has a specifically built structure for signage to be attached to.

Your sign:

• Can be no larger than A1 (594 x 841mm)

Sign Design:

• Professional designers should be engaged where possible.
• Signage should be of a professional standard and in accordance with the Temporary Event Signage Guidelines (PDF, 220.2 KB)
• To maximise the impact of signage design, the following points are to be considered:
  • Inclusion of dates and venue information in large, bold writing
  • Graphics that are simple and bold
