Cube’s Portable Event Structures 2023 Summer Season

Cube’s Portable Event Structures 2023 Summer Season

Round-up of a Summer Season of Festival and Sporting Events for Cube’s Portable Event Structures

The 2023 season has been a busy one for Cube Modular’s portable event buildings, with a mixture of music festivals and sporting events taking advantage of our sustainable delivery and rapidly deployed, flexible structures. The season has been extended this year, with a proportion of our event stock spending September and October dotted around France providing retail stores at stadia concourses and in town centre fanzones for the Rugby World Cup.

Our most popular product has been the 6m x 2.4m CN20 foldable cabins, with approximately 450 deployed around the UK. The smaller CN10 units have also been popular, with 300 popping up as box offices, admin units, dressing rooms, accreditation points, production suites and security cabins. Our fleet of merchandising units are also increasingly in demand both inside and outside of sporting event retail.

Cube was back supporting big name festivals such as Glastonbury, Boardmasters, British Summertime and Download. Our CN10 units were deployed in earnest as accommodation for the first time with 80 set up as twin bedrooms at Royal International Air Tattoo. Cube’s sleeping accommodation fleet also travelled the UK, with Caboose VIP ensuite sleeping units providing luxury accommodation for event-goers or executives at Download, Glastonbury and Eisteddfod. Our pop-up Snoozy glamping pods were popular for Glastonbury Winding Lake and Download.

Cube Launches Sustainable Pop-Up Ticket Office Pods

Cube Launches Sustainable Pop-Up Ticket Office Pods

Cube Modular recently launched a sustainable pop-up ticket office solution for events. The versatile aluminium frame and air-cell pods feature two customer facing ticketing windows and can be folded down and stacked for efficient and eco-friendly transport.

The innovative pods made their debut last weekend at the Formula One British Grand Prix, hiring out event radios to visitors to the famous Silverstone circuit. In total, nine ticketing pods were installed around the venue, one at each entrance, each fully branded and liveried to advertise its event radio hire purpose. Cube also transported 14 sleeping pods from the same range, as 2 bed accommodation units for staff, on the same truck.

“The clever design of these pods makes them very attractive to event organisers looking for a sustainable pop-up solution”, said James Lauchlan, Sales Manager at Cube Modular. “They can be put up virtually anywhere and used as ticket offices, information booths, security cabins or any other type of customer contact point.”

Thanks to the pods’ flatpack design, up to 40 units can be transported on a single truck, achieving huge savings in both transportation costs and carbon footprint, compared to using traditional fixed frame portable ticket offices.

The pods are created using a bespoke aluminium extruded frame system with steel substructure featuring an integral levelling foot system and inflatable air-cell wall panels. The sliding doors are lockable and the pods come with integrated colour adjustable LED lighting and a USB power point.
