One of the current Pink Moon management team, Grace Baker-Brown, enjoyed being part of the crew so much that she ended up staying at the company.

The event manager first joined in 2021 after applying for a part-time job advertised at her university and has now worked three full summer seasons.

“I received an email from my lecturer at university explaining that Pink Moon were hiring for their 2021 summer season and I applied,” she said.

“Upon getting the job, I decided to take a study break from uni so that I could still gain as much relevant industry experience as possible.

“I knew I wanted to go straight into an events role after graduating, so when I was offered the full-time event manager role, it was a no-brainer.”

She added: “I love how busy we are in the summer and I also love being outdoors, so spending pretty much my whole summer outside is so good for me.”

With the largest collection of tent structures in the sector – about 5,500 – Pink Moon works with up to 45,000 customers a year.

Successful applicants will be provided with the necessary training and equipment to put up tents, prepare bedding , clean and maintain toilets or shower facilities and interact with guests.
