Sunday 28 May
King Solomun is back and ready to dominate Sundays once again under the infamous Pacha cherries. Solomun kicks off the incredible 21-week residency of his +1 concept at Pacha Ibiza on May 28th.
Since its inception in 2013, Solomun +1 has only grown stronger and more popular, allowing for additional concepts such as the Solomun +LIVE series on the White Isle and +1 events worldwide, from Berlin to New York and Tulum.
This island veteran has been a staple in Pacha’s DJ booth for years, leading his Solomun +1 concept to become one of the club’s most successful parties. We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the 2023 opening ever since his extended set at Pacha’s grand opening party in April, and now the time has finally come to celebrate the triumphant return after a thrilling 2022 season and what felt like a long, long winter.

The best priced intimate venue we love is in the Bedouin Tent & Garden in St Ethelburga’s Centre. Holding a mere 30 people, this interesting structure has 16 sides, hails from South Arabia, and has an outer covering of woven goats hair. This is ideal for an unforgettable prototype introduction or new project pitch. Our indoor demonstrators may be of use to you.
Under 300 capacity venues
If you stay under 300 people with your guest list, you have a greater choice in venues for hire in London. These are our favourite indoor and outdoor small event venues.

Are you looking to plan a festival here in the UK? Follow these top tips and remember to call Elpromotions Agency when you need festival promotions staff.
Whether or not your festival is likely to be successful can be judged from the moment you start planning it. Think of those organisers at the Fyre Festival, who messed up so badly that the whole world was watching. If you don’t want that to happen to you, stick to formulaic methods of planning an event instead of trying to think so far outside the box. A good event starts with a good location. Here are other tips to make your event a success.
How do you make a festival successful?
A great festival requires a great location, loved artists, trained staff, and vendors who do not rip off the guests. You also need fantastic promotional materials, a wide-reaching audience, and enough organisation to put it all together in time. Remember that food and water must be plentiful. Also consider that the farther away from civilisation you are, the more facilities you will need.
Employ the three rules of event success.
Making an event successful can be broken down into three rules:
- Set your budget and plan what you would like to do with the event.
- Find a venue and bring in festival staff, caterers, and vendors.
- Focus on how you can apply your brand, logo, and promote your event.
You should consider drawing up an event planning checklist so that you meet all your targets. An event planning checklist should include things like hiring hospitality staff for UK festivals and employing a stage crew. Add in décor, signage, and how you intend to promote your festival to bring in the customers.
Choose an Event Agency You Can Trust
Even with that checklist, you will still need to hire in outside services. An event planner might help you with the bigger picture, ensuring you keep on track with your event and deadlines. Bringing in big acts such as bands and DJ’s are vital here, and they may well know who to speak with to pull the right strings.
In the past, events staffing company Elpromotions Agency have provided staffing solutions for the ROC Nation London Showcase, worked the All Points East Festival with Firestone, and have staffed private events in Ibiza, Los Angeles and Australia just to name a few. We can even plan and manage your festival for you and give you pointers based on experience.

As of 2021, UK citizens are subject to the same Spanish immigration rules as residents of non-EU countries, such as Russia, China, and the United States. Therefore, UK citizens who wish to live permanently or for an extended period in Spain must maintain legal residency status or a long-term visa.
A foreigner identity card, known as Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), must be obtained upon arrival to Spain, the Balearics, and Ibiza whilst completing a full residence or visa application. You can apply for your Residency and TIE from the UK. We recommend speaking to a Spanish Lawyer as the process is quite complicated.
Let’s look at different options below.
Living and working in Ibiza for UK Citizens
If you are a non-EU citizen and wish to live and work in Ibiza for an extended period of time, you must apply for residency or a work permit. By maintaining your residence in Ibiza, you will be able to take advantage of all the benefits of working in Spain should you decide to do so on a permanent or extended basis.
As the Spanish government is welcoming new entrepreneurs into its country, if you have a solid business project you would like to set up in Spain, that could be a great way to qualify for a residency in the country.
Who needs a work visa?
If you want to live and work in Spain, there are two main branches of authorities that you will be dealing with: the immigration authority under the Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones (Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration), and the labor and employmentauthorities under the Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social (Ministry of Labor and Social Economy).
Fortunately for EU, EEA, or Swiss citizens, moving to Spain is simple, and they can live, work, and study in the country without restriction. However, most non-EU/EEA citizens, also called third-country nationals, need a work permit and must secure an employment contract before they can apply for one. UK citizens who wish to come to Spain to live and work post-Brexit will also need a residence and work visa.
Required documents
When you arrive in Spain, to stay long term, you must apply for a residents permit (Tarjeta de Residencia – TIE) and a Foreigner’s Identity Number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero – NIE) through the local Foreigner’s Office (Oficina de Extranjeros) or police within 30 days.
You will need the NIE for all your finance and administrative procedures in Spain; this includes opening a bank account, receiving your salary, registering for social security, paying taxes, buying property, and applying for a Spanish driver’s license. Keep in mind that everyone working in Spain, whether they are a paid employee or self-employed, must register with the General Social Security Fund (Dirección General de la Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social – TGSS). If you are an employee, then your employer will do this for you, but if you are self-employed, it is your responsibility.
Work visas for seasonal workers
If you are a non-EU citizen wishing to carry out seasonal work in Spain, you will need to obtain the following:
- a work and residence permit
- a work and residence visa
Requirements
The visa application process is nearly the same as if you were applying for long-term employment. However, there are a few additional requirements:
- Your employer must provide accommodation in “conditions of adequate dignity and hygiene”
- Your employer must pay your travel costs
- You must agree to return to your country of origin when the contract is finished
How to apply
Before you apply for your work and residence visa, your employer must obtain a work permit from the Provincial Aliens Affairs Office, or from any official department of labor in the different Autonomous Communities.
Once the work permit has been authorized, the residence permit is granted together with the work permit by the Provincial Aliens Affairs Office. Once the work permit has been authorized, you must apply for a work and residence visa at the Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence which will allow you to enter Spain to work.
Length of validity
Permits are valid for a maximum of nine months per calendar year and will be of the same duration as the work contract. Shorter contracts and permits can be extended, but only up to a maximum of nine months in total.
Self-Employed Visa
If you intend to work for yourself in Spain, then as well as complying with the same requirements for permission to reside as are applicable to someone without permission to work, you will need to demonstrate that you are able to comply with the Spanish rules currently in force in relation to the commercial activity in question. This includes evidence of any qualifications that entitle you to carry out that activity, that you have sufficient funds to invest in the activity to make it viable, and an indication of the number of people you may employ, if any.
You will also need to show that in addition to the funds available for investment in your economic activity you have sufficient funds to support yourself, which will be the same as those required for people applying for indefinite permission to reside, as set out above.
Setting up a New Business
In Spain, if you choose to set up a business – you will need to have your NIE number organised beforehand and any relevant paperwork relating to your education – for example, certificates prepared, because depending upon what you plan to do, your qualifications may need to be recognised officially. This should be dealt with by your business advisor, who will also advise you on structuring the company, legal issues, and planning (you could also ask your Gestoria for direction with this).
Proof that your business proposition is viable
Recently, the Spanish government approved the first draft of a law with several immigration and tax advantages for startups and digital nomad visas. This law aims to promote the ecosystem by attracting emerging companies, talent and capital to develop innovative entrepreneurial activities in Spain.
If you are applying for permission to work for yourself in Spain, then in addition to supplying evidence of your ability to fund yourself and your business, as well as showing that you have adequate qualifications to carry out the work, you will need to present what is essentially a business plan showing how you will develop your economic activity from a practical and financial perspective, in addition to the employment that you expect your activity to create.
In essence, your business needs to make sense to you and to the Spanish authorities in order for you to be granted permission to work for yourself in Spain.
The procedure to be followed
When you make your application for a visa to work for yourself in Spain, you will need to show that you have:
- sufficient health insurance,
- that you do not have a criminal record, and
- that you are not suffering from a serious illness.
If all is in order then you will be issued with a visa within a month and will be able to enter Spain within three months, as would be the case for those collecting visas for permission to reside without permission to work. All non-EU foreign nationals residing in Spain will need to apply for a residence card from the immigration office closest to wherever you are living in Spain. If you have permission to work and do not register with the social security office within three months of your arrival, you may be fined and your right to remain may lapse.
Planning your organisation’s Christmas party this year? Let Elpromotions Agency guide you through planning an exceptional, luxurious Christmas party on a budget.
Every office, organisation, and club, deserves to have an opulent Christmas party where everyone lets their hair down. Planning a Christmas party can be pricey but have no fear. Elpromotions Agency’s top trained event staff are here to help with a few pointers on throwing the perfect luxury Christmas party, even when your budget says otherwise.
Top Tips for Budget Party Planning at your Luxury Event
Luxury event planning is our specialty here at Elpromotions Agency. These top tips will help you create the perfect Christmas party on a budget – with all the luxury trimmings thrown in.
1 – Luxury Events Require Luxury Staff
Hiring VIP event staff is a simple process which completes any luxurious party. When you try to provide luxury to your guests, you are selling them on the experience. What is the biggest difference between an upmarket event and a mediocre one? Upmarket events hire event hostesses to entertain the guests. Elpromotions Agency have luxury event staff for hire here in the UK and in our Ibiza branch.
2 – Decorate Yourself
Instead of spending extra to have the venue staff decorate your rented space, get there yourself in the afternoon to add a few elegant touches. Add material touches to chairs or table runners and decorate your glasses for a simple, elegant approach. Stick to one or two colours and some Christmas sparkle. Frost the glasses with edible glitter, add a few diamantes, and use candles as a centrepiece for a minimalist approach. Good Housekeeping have great high end, low budget table décor ideas.
3 – Don’t rent the whole venue
Have you considered renting a large table or a section of a venue, instead of the whole venue. Many event spaces offer single rooms for hire, or party suites. These save you a fortune when planning a luxury Christmas party – and you could still get the high end event space that you wanted. You should compare venues too, to see who offers you the best deal.
4 – Add Entertainment
Luxurious entertainment does not have to be expensive entertainment. You could hire a celebrity to show up to your event if you had the funds. However, a well placed chocolate fountain with a suitably sumptuous selection of sweet treats gets everyone talking just the same. You could spend minimal cash hiring fake paparazzi and models to come to your party while people arrive. Digital photo booths require only a camera, a few props, and a luxurious draped background fabric. The Spruce have good office party ideas.
5 – Don’t use Expensive Catering Companies
Expensive catering companies will happily charge you over the odds per person, per event. Instead, shop local for a small business who can produce and deliver your catering. A small local catering business will do all your Christmas party catering for a fraction of the price.
What Makes a Party Luxury?
What makes your Christmas party extraordinary instead of ordinary? It is the finesse you bring to it. From making your guests feel special from the moment they arrive, to ensuring a high end experience the whole night through, it is how you treat them that makes the difference. It is a hundred little luxurious touches that makes the party extra special. Trust Elpromotions Agency’s hospitality staff to turn your event into an extraordinary one.
