Bringing the Irish events sector to life, from coast to coast

blog 24 Jan 2024

Ireland is renowned far and wide for its inspiring natural beauty and uplifting atmosphere, but more recently it has been recognised as a hotbed for its line-up of year-round events. With everything from music festivals to agricultural shows, the Irish events sector has such variety that you would be remised to not find an event of interest, regardless of your demographic. And to touch on scale, these events typically bring in global acts, and global audiences that see more than 100,000 attendees on any given day.

Creating a successful events market

Along with such a strength of schedule also comes a huge level of logistical planning and technical support to ensure that the show goes on. Whether it be providing critical power to each event site or delivering lighting for those events that run deep into the night, even delivering security measures like perimeter fencing, an event cannot go ahead without considering those auxiliary elements to help deem it a success.

In the summer of 2023 alone, Sunbelt Rentals have stepped up as Ireland’s preferred rental solutions supplier to provide over 30 globally recognised events across Northern and the Republic of Ireland with the necessary solutions to bring the show to life.

From coast to coast we have delivered a full end-to-end suite of solutions, including;

1100 Tower Lights: Enough to illuminate 80,189 metres in a single direction, or 4,620,000 square metres.

50,000 Pieces of Trakway: Enough to cover 150,004 metres in a single direction, and enough to spread across 361,509 square metres of ground.

110,000 Pieces of Fencing: Enough to fence a stretch of 303,750 metres in a single direction when daisy chained together.

Supported by two strategically positioned depots, one in Belfast and one in Dublin, the Sunbelt Rentals team have created a strong footprint across all territories throughout both Northern and the Republic of Ireland, delivering entire solutions of varying sizes and levels of complexity.

So how have we risen to the top?

“Put quite simply, we offer unrivalled commitment and a high level of service every time. As a team we understand that a successful events partner needs to be capable, agile and committed, and by channelling each of these elements equally we are able to deliver a seamless provision of equipment, so the events organisers don’t need to lift a finger.

Our operations across the Irish events sector stand as testament to how committed we remain in ensuring all events, big or small, go ahead without a hiccup – and we are honoured to be chosen as the country’s preferred supplier of rental solutions for a number of leading events from coast to coast.

Looking to the future, we continue to reinforce our fleet with industry-leading equipment so that we can help take the stress away and bring events across Ireland to life for many years to come.”
