Little Hummingbird have created a Trader Family of hundreds of loyal following who make the difference to the world of eventing. They all help each other, offer support and advise and generally work together as a giant creative cohort.

They have built an excellent team of people with a ground team who ensure that traders are assisted with set up, parking, de rig and everything in between and are currently expanding their team of ‘internal’ staff as the business grows. It is this friendly, honest and helpful approach to trading and business that has earned the Little Hummingbird Events team a good reputation within the industry and with traders. They welcome new enquiries, and nervous first timers where your hand will be held until you are shown the ropes to fly solo - they will budy you up at market with an experienced trader who can show you the ropes.
