About Eastern Events
Eastern Events was established in 1990 when John Wootten was asked to help organise the Aylsham Show in Norfolk. He was soon approached by the National Trust at Blickling Hall to become involved in their event management and from there the business has grown and expanded.
Today, Eastern Events encompasses event management as well as the organisation of our own craft shows.
Eastern Events is run and managed by John, Charlotte and Will Wootten. Will is NEBOSH qualified for event management.
Our sub-contract event management activities at country houses and other venues throughout the country include car park management, logistics, site management and build as well as the day to day running of events. These have included concerts at venues such as Audley End and Holkham Hall, the Cambridge 800 celebrations, car park management for the hugely popular snowdrop days at Anglesey Abbey, the Hampton Court Flower Show and the ice rink at the Natural History Museum as well as a host of smaller events.
Our craft fairs have become popular favourites at a number of venues such as Hyde End, Buckinghamshire, Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, Chilford Vineyard near Cambridge and Blickling Hall in Norfolk and regularly attract a wide variety of high quality and interesting stallholders.
Meanwhile, in 20 years, the clock has gone full circle as John has now been appointed Head Steward for the Aylsham Show.
Testimonials:
"The National Trust, Anglesey Abbey, Cambridgeshire has worked with Eastern Events for a number of years during our very busy snowdrop period during late January and February. This is the busiest period on the property when we receive some 45,000 visitors in just 5 weeks.
The service we have consistently received from Eastern Events has always been to a high standard with excellent traffic control on the property and in the management of the car parking areas generally. This quality service has enabled our visitors to be parked up as quickly as possible on arrival and has helped contribute to them having an enjoyable day at Anglesey Abbey. Eastern Events are seen very much as part of the team."

The National Trust
“We worked with John Wootten of Eastern Events on two major events to celebrate the 800th Celebrations for Cambridge University. The first was a Garden Party for 10,000 members of University staff and the second a light show, staged over 3 nights which attracted over 20,00 public. John handled the delivery vehicle logistics for both events. His methodical approach and calm authoritative persona, majorly contributed to the success of the events. We would not hesitate in recommending the service that Eastern Events provide.”
