Case Studies
Creamfields Festival
Temporarily constructed for 4 days of fun, just how do you make a festival like this happen? You choose expert partners who specialise in defining, designing, and delivering event solutions.
Lee Victory Festival
Lee Victory Festival is a 3-day event to commemorate and celebrate the 75th & 76th anniversary of both VE & VJ days. With a Spitfire display, military parade, musical performances and more this family event is held to remember the enormous sacrifice, courage and determination of people both at home and abroad and to celebrate the end of WWII.
Tour of Britain
The Tour of Britain is the UK's largest professional bike race, featuring some of the biggest teams and top level athletes from around the world. The eight stage men's road cycling race took place between 5th -12th September 2021. The race took the peloton from Cornwall, through Wales and North East England before finishing in Scotland, covering a total of 1320km.
G7 Summit Carbon Free Transport Hubs
Since the London Olympics, Sunbelt Rentals has provided temporary infrastructure solutions for Stadium Management. Our 360 Solutions team is now supporting Stadium Management’s three-year program to provide major events for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The 47th G7 Summit was the first of these high-profile projects, based in St. Ives in Cornwall, UK.
Download Pilot Test Festival
The Download Pilot test festival was part of the second phase of the Government Event Research Programme and was held on 18th-20th June at Donington Park, Derbyshire.This 10,000-capacity event was a scaled down version of the usual 100,000 capacity. It was held as a three-day camping pilot for part of the ongoing research into the safe return of live music events.
Ticket holders had to take a lateral flow test prior to travelling to the event and show the negative test result to be able to enter. A PCR test carried out 24 hours before attending the event and 5 days afterwards was also a crucial requirement for the event research data. This meant that once on site the festival goers did not have to wear face masks or social distance.
This event allowed researchers to gather data on transmission risk from the suspension of social distancing and face coverings over several consecutive days. This data will help to ensure that future events can go ahead safely.
Sefton Park Test Pilot Event
The Liverpool Pilot Event was the UK's first post-lockdown outdoor gig. Hosted on 2nd May 2021 at Liverpool's Sefton Park under a huge Big Top tent, the event formed part of a scientific experiment to help get the live music industry back up and running in a safe and secure way.
Over 5,000 people attended the six hour long outdoor gig and ticket holders had to provide a negative Covid test to be allowed entry. Scientists monitored the gig and everyone who attended was asked to take a voluntary PCR test afterwards.
Once through the gates, gig-goers did not have to wear face coverings or maintain social distancing as it formed part of the Government’s Events Research Programme testing the transmission of COVID-19 in an outdoor, music festival setting. This was the first of a series of pilot events designed to test safety at mass gatherings and provide data into how events can be permitted to safely reopen as part of the roadmap out of lockdown.
The event was organised by Festival Republic who organise events such as Reading Festival, Download, Latitude, Leeds Festival and Creamfields. For many years, Festival Republic has relied on Sunbelt Rentals to provide a wide range of equipment for prestigious events around the UK.
