Sourcing research

Help us choose
what we stock

We're building Matipa's collection from scratch for Lancaster and the North West. Rather than guess what the market wants, we're asking the planners and venues who'll actually use it.

Nine questions. About three minutes. In return: 15% off your first hire, and first look at the collection before it's published.

About you

A little about your events

So we can weight the answers properly.

1 · What kind of events do you deliver most?
2 · Roughly how many events a year?
3 · Typical guest count?
Question 4

What's hard to find locally?

Select everything you regularly struggle to source in the North West.

Question 5

What would you actually hire?

This is the question that decides what we buy. Select anything you'd genuinely use — it's fine to pick almost everything, or almost nothing.

Questions 6 & 7

How you choose a supplier

6 · How far ahead do you usually book?
7 · What matters most when choosing a supplier?

Choose up to three.

Question 8

The one piece you wish existed

If you could add a single item to the North West's hire market tomorrow, what would it be? This is usually where the best answers come from.
