All Points East transforms Victoria Park every August Bank Holiday weekend into one of London's most vibrant multi-genre festivals. Behind the scenes, logistics is relentless: AV rigs arrive on Wednesday, stage props on Thursday, artist riders on Friday morning, merch stock throughout the weekend, and emergency equipment swaps happen hourly. T&C Logistics is the courier partner festivals need — ULEZ-compliant vehicles, GPS tracking, full insurance, and team members who understand the chaos. Whether you're an event organiser coordinating 50+ supplier deliveries, an AV company replacing a blown speaker, or a hospitality vendor restocking VIP areas, same-day response at All Points East is non-negotiable. We operate Mon—Sun, 8am—8pm dispatch, with 30—60 minute collection across London and Southeast. No 24/7 promises — just reliable, insured, time-critical logistics when festivals demand it most.
All Points East — logistics overview
Victoria Park, Hackney, E9 7DE hosts All Points East over the August Bank Holiday weekends. The festival spans multiple stages, hospitality zones, sponsor activations, and festival village areas across muddy, temporary-road terrain. Pre-event logistics runs 72 hours before gates open: stage rigging, AV equipment installation, backstage infrastructure, catering kit, merchandise cages, and VIP setup. During the festival (Friday—Sunday), real-time logistics dominate — artist arrival coordination, equipment swaps, emergency replacements, merch restocking, and supplies for crew welfare. Post-event breakdown (Monday—Tuesday) requires rapid collection of hired assets and waste. T&C Logistics covers every phase with dedicated vehicles, team radio contact, and site access coordination.
Who books us for All Points East
Festival organisers: Coordinate multi-supplier deliveries, manage site access passes, and ensure critical kit arrives on time. We handle dispatch scheduling and communicate directly with your logistics coordinator.

Stage crew and riggers: Deliver forgotten tools, replacement hardware, safety gear, and crew refreshments to backstage areas — no fuss, rapid access.
Artist management: Handle last-minute rider deliveries (green room supplies, costume changes, instrument cases), VIP transport coordination with our courier partners, and emergency artist-required items.
Brand sponsors: Move activation kit, promotional materials, stock for give-aways, and display furniture to sponsor zones. We coordinate pedestrian-friendly routes to avoid disrupting festival flow.
Hospitality vendors: Restock food and beverage for VIP lounges, replace ice, deliver fresh supplies, and manage temperature-controlled deliveries for premium hospitality.

Site access at All Points East
Victoria Park access requires coordination with the festival's site logistics team. All Points East designates specific vehicle entry points, loading zones, and backstage roads — many unpaved and subject to mud, especially during wet August weather. Our drivers are briefed on:
- Approved vehicle access routes (no general public roads through the park).
- Loading bay locations for each festival zone.
- Parking and turnaround space for larger vehicles.
- Pedestrian-heavy areas where hand-trolley or foot courier is faster than vehicles.
- Backstage pass requirements and driver ID protocols.
- Time-restricted access windows (e.g., no large vehicles during public hours Friday—Sunday 12pm—10pm).
We coordinate directly with your site logistics manager to obtain passes, confirm routes, and notify security of our arrivals. If festival site access is new to us, we conduct a pre-event site visit (usually the Thursday before) to map routes, check ground conditions, and identify load points.
Time-critical response during the event
During the festival weekend, urgency is absolute. A missing microphone at 2pm on Saturday has 60 minutes before soundcheck. A hospitality vendor is out of ice at 3pm Friday; VIP guests arrive at 4pm. An artist's costume change is delayed in traffic; they're on stage at 7pm.
Our Mon—Sun, 8am—8pm dispatch window covers all of this. We operate a live call line (+44 7963 400173) during festival days, with a dedicated logistics coordinator managing All Points East jobs. GPS tracking shows your driver's location in real time. We commit to 30—60 minute collection from anywhere in London for festival-bound loads, with predictable delivery to Victoria Park based on current traffic and site conditions.
We don't promise miracles — if it's 9pm on Saturday and you need something at 10pm, call us immediately and we'll assess. But during day hours and early evening, same-day urgent response is our standard.
Booking process for festival season
Pre-event planning (June—July): Contact us with your All Points East logistics schedule. We'll discuss your supplier list, delivery timeline, site access needs, and vehicle requirements (small van for backstage access, Luton for bulk kit, or a dedicated run for fragile AV equipment). We provide a custom quote and confirm our team's availability.
Confirmation (late July): Lock in your peak logistics days (usually Wednesday—Thursday setup, Friday—Sunday festival, Monday breakdown). We pre-assign a driver and logistics coordinator familiar with your loads and site contact.
Live support (festival weekend): Call or text +44 7963 400173 for urgent collections. Reference your event coordinator and the load type. We despatch immediately and track the vehicle real-time. Payment is invoiced post-festival (or pre-arranged for large events).
Rates: Starting from £50 for small, local jobs; larger multi-run festival support typically £200—600 for a weekend package depending on vehicle size and collection volume. Temperature-controlled vehicles for hospitality (ice, chilled items) are available at premium rates.
All Points East relies on logistics that understands live events. A missing cable or a late merch delivery isn't an inconvenience—it's a crisis. We treat every collection like the festival depends on it, because honestly, it does.
