The Annual Welland Steam and Country Rally, a much-loved family event filled with vintage charm and rural heritage, was once again a calendar highlight this 2024. With a rally of 90 working steam engines, a variety of shows, and a plethora of other attractions, APF Event Hire was proud to provide crucial marquee installations and furnishings to ensure a comfortable and engaging environment for all attendees.
This year’s Welland Rally required a multifaceted approach to accommodate the different needs of exhibitors and guests, from large-scale catering facilities to specific trade marquees. APF Event Hire provided comprehensive solutions tailored to enhance each aspect of the event.
Huge 12×24 Catering Tent Marquee
Recognizing the central role that catering plays at such a gathering, we supplied a massive 12m x 24m catering tent. This expansive marquee was equipped to handle the high volume of guests expected at the rally, providing a spacious and welcoming area for dining and relaxation. Inside, we arranged a multitude of tables and chairs, ensuring ample seating and comfort for families to enjoy their meals while soaking in the festive atmosphere.
6m x 6m Marquee for Lancaster Trading
For Lancaster Trading, a company known for its unique range of country lifestyle products, a 6m x 6m marquee was provided. This compact yet effective space was strategically set up to attract passersby and effectively display their goods. The marquee was designed to be both inviting and functional, offering an optimal layout for product presentation and customer interaction.
6m x 12m Marquee for Ishop
Ishop, featuring a diverse array of gadgets and modern conveniences suitable for the outdoorsy and tech-savvy rally goers, was furnished with a 6m x 12m marquee. This larger space allowed for a more extensive display of products and provided a walkthrough experience for guests. The setup included distinct zones for different product types, facilitating an easy and enjoyable shopping experience.
Each marquee setup was carefully planned and executed by our skilled team at APF Event Hire. The installations were carried out with precision, taking into account the unique demands of the Welland Rally’s dynamic environment. We ensured that each marquee was not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust enough to handle the influx of visitors and the varied British summer weather.
The marquees provided a much-needed shelter and hub of activity at the rally, enhancing the overall visitor experience. The catering tent became a focal point for families to gather and enjoy a bite to eat, while the trade marquees served as bustling marketplaces for guests to explore a range of products.
