BBC Big weekender – Decordia

20th – 21st May 2026

This week I went back to work for Decordia for festival season which I was really excited to do.

I was put on a job with Emma, to go to Sunderland to set up one of the stages for BBC Big weekender which is crazy.

I had never met Emma before but she was so kind and amazingly talented, so it was really cool to work with someone like that, I felt like I was learning the whole trip which was great.

Being on site im just learning so much, and because you can’t fully prepare things and know of certain things will be held up its all about figuring it out and using things you might not normally use.

For example, there was a mix up between the designer and client with a swing seat, we brought a single person swing, when it was suppose to be a seat big enough for 2 people to take photos on. Luckily Emma had her saw and literally just enough timber to make a larger seat, and I had paint to put on it. But you just never know what’s going to happen. I think the key is to be able to communicate well and also not stress. Its always going to look amazing when you have a great team, sometimes there’s little bumps along the way but it will get sorted because it always does
