After another successful year at Download Festival, we’ve been busy expanding our festival scaffolding work across some of the UK’s most iconic music events. From Wireless Festival in London to Latitude in Suffolk, Reading & Leeds, and even the massive Oasis reunion gigs at Heaton Park – our team has been working behind the scenes to help make these incredible events happen.
Quality Matters, Whatever the Scale
The temporary structures we erect at festivals and events vary, and includes stages, bars and communal areas, signage and hoarding and access steps and ramps. These works can seem small in scale compared to some of our commercial and industrial projects, but quality and safety is just as important. These events attract tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of people.
Building Our Festival Scaffolding Reputation
We’ve worked hard to build trust with event organisers and festival promoters. It’s not just about getting the job done – it’s about getting it done right, on time, and safely. Word travels fast in the festival world, and we’re proud that our name keeps coming up when organisers need reliable scaffolding partners.
Take the Oasis shows at Heaton Park – probably one of the biggest music events this country has seen in years. Hundreds of thousands of fans, massive expectations, and absolutely no room for anything to go wrong.
Wireless Festival, at Finsbury Park in London, brings its own set of challenges including navigating the London traffic and often strict loading/unloading rules. Then there’s Latitude with its mix of music and arts, and the legendary Reading & Leeds double-header that tests your ability to coordinate across multiple sites.
What Sets Us Apart
Our operatives get proper training – not just in the technical stuff, but in understanding how festivals work. They know that behind every structure they build, there are thousands of people creating memories that’ll last a lifetime. That makes a difference to how they approach the work.
Tom Pawliw, our Managing Director, puts it perfectly:
“I’m proud that Anton Scaffolding provides works to some of the UK’s biggest and most famous festivals and events. The team do a great job and have built a good reputation with organisations in this industry. As a massive music fan, it’s great to be involved and I try to get along to the events as much as I can and see our festival scaffolding works being put to use.”
Looking Ahead
The festival scene keeps growing, and we’re excited to be part of it. Every event teaches us something new, and every successful project opens doors to the next one. Whether it’s a intimate music festival or a stadium-sized spectacular, we bring the same commitment to safety and quality that’s made us trusted partners across all our sectors.
There’s something special about festival work – knowing that the structures you’ve built are helping create those magical moments that people talk about for years. It’s not just scaffolding; it’s part of the experience.
