The Sunshine Festival in Upton upon Severn is a highlight of the summer, drawing crowds eager to enjoy a weekend full of music, entertainment, and community spirit. This year, APF Event Hire was proud to provide essential marquee installations for various festival needs, ensuring both functionality and comfort for all attendees and organisers.
Event Organisers and Management: Central Command in Comfort
For the festival’s backbone—its organisers and management—a 9m x 6m marquee was installed. This space served as the central hub for operations, ensuring that staff had a dedicated area to coordinate activities smoothly and respond to any festival needs promptly.
Security at the Entrance: Efficient and Effective
Security is paramount at any festival, and the entrance is where first impressions are set. APF Event Hire provided a compact yet highly functional 3m x 3m pagoda for the security team. This structure allowed for efficient management of festival entry points, ensuring safety without compromising on the welcoming atmosphere of the event.
Catering and Entertainment: The Heart of the Festival
Perhaps the most significant of our installations was the 33m x 15m marquee used for catering and entertainment. This vast space was designed to accommodate large numbers of festival-goers, providing a sheltered area for dining and enjoying the entertainment. The size and layout were tailored to facilitate easy movement within the marquee, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
Portable Toilets: Essential Amenities with Discretion
To address the practical needs of a large crowd, a 3m x 18m marquee was set up to house portable toilets. This thoughtful installation ensured that these essential facilities were discreetly integrated into the festival environment, maintaining aesthetics while offering convenience and privacy for attendees.
The installation process was meticulously planned and executed by APF Event Hire’s experienced team, who worked closely with festival organisers to meet all specifications and requirements. Each marquee was strategically placed to optimize space usage and visitor flow, ensuring that all areas were accessible and efficiently used.
The marquees provided by APF Event Hire significantly contributed to the smooth operation of the Sunshine Festival. The central command marquee enabled organisers to manage the event effectively, while the security pagoda facilitated a secure and orderly entry process. The catering and entertainment marquee became a lively gathering spot, central to the festival’s success, and the discreet placement of portable toilets respected the comfort and convenience of all attendees.
Feedback from the festival organisers was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the functionality and quality of the marquee setups. Attendees also appreciated the thoughtful arrangement and quality of the facilities, which enhanced their overall festival experience.
