Montserrat Events was established to manage and operate musical & entertainment events in Lee-on-the Solent for the betterment of the community of Lee and Gosport as a whole providing both FREE and Tickets events to enjoy.
The events are designed to attract visitors to support the local economy and ensure the continuation of a thriving and prosperous community with the emphasis on supporting up and coming young musical & creative arts talent.
​
We create well planned and delivered events where we can cater for Bar, Staging, Sound, Lights, Music, Artists Entertainers, Food Vendors, Power and Security; all coming together to deliver a successful event for all to come and enjoy.

Through the events held during 2024 we have seen an up take in the number of stalls attending our events, which is great to see. We do our best with the planning, marketing and delivery of the events but one thing we cannot guarantee is the footfall. Over time as the events get known we know for sure the visitor numbers will grow; this has become apparent with the Summer In Lee event., this year we saw the most successful event being delivered.
We hope that stall holders will see how Montserrat Events has grown and is establishing itself as an organisation renowned for delivering great events and they want to be part of the Smile Emporium journey.
Our Smile Emporium covers a wide range stalls such as food, handmade & retail, meaning it covers all we will be offering and creating a visitor attraction with impact that a high quality events company like Montserrat is portraying.
​
As we get ready for 2025, the Smile Emporium will be bringing you an eclectic array of fabulous foods & hand-picked local businesses, offering you a unique shopping experience this coupled alongside entertainment & fun for all of the family at events throughout the year in the Spring, Summer & Winter we are also wanting to pursue the introduction of local pop up Emporiums. subject to agreement from the local authorities.

At our events we a will be having no more than two stalls selling the same products, we feel this is fair and will provide choice for the visitors; when registering our team will ensure that this is adhered to. ​​
Since August 2021 there's been some brilliant events brought to Lee on the Solent where we have seen the community coming together from Lee on the Solent, Gosport, the whole peninsula and further afield to come to these events, which majority are free for all to enjoy.
Montserrat Events had a full programme of events for 2024 in the local area from Lee on the Solent, Gosport, the whole peninsula and further afield to come to these events, which majority are free for all to enjoy. We are also being asked to support other event organisers so we will be sharing this information as well.
​
We are now planning the 2025 events and will be distributing approximately 10,000 of the What's on Guide during March 2025. The guide provides a great opportunity for businesses to advertise with half and full pages available from £195.00 +VAT.

Montserrat Events C.I.C. provides a much loved and valued service for the community.
Did you enjoy the following events in Lee? Victory Festival Parade, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Community Celebration and Summer Sounds. These were all free events for the people of Lee and Gosport (and surrounding areas) to come and enjoy.​

We hope you can help us to achieve our goals and at the same time win something for yourself by purchasing a lottery ticket(s) for the Montserrat Events cause in the Gosport Community Lottery or by making a donation to a value you are comfortable with.
For the delivery of the Lee Coronation Celebrations, an event to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III the Montserrat team were successful in securing a National Lottery Community Fund grant.
