Powerhire provide Temporary Event Generators and Fuel Tanks for main stage at The Wilderness Festival
Powerhire were once again asked by our client, Innovation Power, to provide temporary event generators and fuel tanks for the main stage at The Wilderness Festival taking place at the beautiful Cornbury Park Estate in Oxfordshire during the first weekend in August.
We were of course delighted to work with Innovation Power again and proud to be part of this award winning music festival, earning itself a reputation as ‘one of Britain’s poshest festivals’ with its lakeside spa, horse riding, yoga workshops, Michelin star food and a champagne bar on site.
30,000 people descended on the idyllic wooded deer park to celebrate this alternative and unique festival. Now in it’s 7th year, the 4-day Wilderness Festival has established itself as an all-encompassing experience.
The festival strikes a balance between relaxation and revelry (unlike some festivals, Wilderness really kicks into high-gear when the sun goes down), artistic refinement, hosting a full scale theatre and offering simple pleasures including rowing, forest runs, paddleboard yoga and tai chi – there really is something for everyone.
Following the discussions between Innovation Power’s Project Manager and our Technical Sales Manager of the required rental generators and fuel tanks, all sets and tanks were allocated by our rental co-ordinator and as always cleaned and serviced.
With additional power needed to the previous year, the 2 x 150kVA, 4 x 300kVA and 2 x 500kVA rental generators for the live music on the main stages together with 6 x 2000ltrs, 2 x 3000ltrs fuel tanks were loaded onto our own fleet of arctic lorries ready for delivery to the site.
On the agreed delivery date, our logistics team arrived on site, along with our engineers, to position the temporary event generators and fuel tanks into the specified locations as depicted by the power site map provided.
This amazing and ever growing festival was brought to an end by pop icon Grace Jones who seduced the crowd dressed in voodoo-style body paint and a gold mask, describing the festival as a ‘beautiful festival full of beautiful people’.
With the last of the happy revellers leaving the site, organiser Rory Bett claimed that this year had been the ‘boldest and best yet’ and was looking forward to ‘seeking surprise and delight in our eight edition in 2018’.
We look forward to the bigger and better things to come for the Wilderness Festival in 2018.
