“We have enjoyed a long and successful working relationship with Sesame Portastile for almost thirty years, during which time they have exclusively provided us with invaluable, accurate attendance and visitor movement numbers for every Festival since 1991.

Their service has always been first-rate and an invaluable aide in the successful running of our festival.
