We are incredibly proud to celebrate a major achievement for one of our valued long-standing clients, Venue16, who recently took home the Live Entertainment Venue of the Year title at the 2025 TEAA Business Awards.
This well-deserved accolade recognises the unwavering commitment and creativity that the Venue16 team pours into every single event. We are proud to have played a key role in bringing their visions to life.
As their live entertainment partner for the past few years, Big Foot Events has collaborated closely with the team to curate standout line-ups, deliver unforgettable experiences, and help position Venue16 as a true destination for quality entertainment in the East of England.
Having nominated them ourselves, we’re absolutely thrilled to see their hard work, passion, and dedication to delivering outstanding live entertainment recognised on such a prestigious stage.
This win is not just well-deserved. It’s a reflection of everything they’ve built and the vibrant experiences they continue to bring to life. Our collaborations have become true highlights in their entertainment calendar – and ours, too!
Among the most successful of our collaborations is Summer Soul Vibes. A one-day music festival that has grown year on year into a signature event for the venue. It’s a must-attend celebration of soul, funk, and feel-good energy that keeps audiences coming back for more.
Line-up highlights over the years:
2025: Soul II Soul, Marvin Humes, Phats & Small, Ellie Sax, Kenny Thomas
2024: Trevor Nelson, Kenny Thomas, Still Drifting
2023: Craig Charles, Jaki Graham, Loose Ends, Odyssey
From the soulful sounds of Craig Charles and Jaki Graham to the high-energy sets from Trevor Nelson – and the huge names on the horizon for 2025 – it’s become a much-anticipated highlight that draws crowds from across the region.
But our work together doesn’t stop in summer. Venue16 has fully embraced bold, creative concepts like Jurassic Christmas – a one-of-a-kind festive experience featuring our animatronic dinosaurs. We’re excited to be bringing festive magic with a Jurassic twist this upcoming festive period!
Past events have also featured iconic performances from Kevin & Perry, DJ Spoony, Absolute Britney, Heatwave, and more.
Behind every successful event is a team that understands what it takes to captivate an audience – and that’s exactly where Big Foot Events thrives.
From artist booking and show production to immersive theming and bespoke entertainment concepts, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with Venue16 to transform big ideas into unforgettable experiences.
Whether it’s delivering seamless logistics, sourcing star name headline acts, or adding the little touches that surprise and engage, our mission is simple – to make our clients shine. This award is a perfect example of what’s possible when vision and partnership come together.
With Summer Soul Vibes 2025 just around the corner and the launch of Jurassic Christmas set for multiple dates this December, we can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together next!
To the amazing team at Venue16 – congratulations again on this outstanding recognition. It’s been a privilege to support your success, and we can’t wait to keep raising the bar together.
