EVENTS in FOCUS
Royal Wolf had hundreds of
orders this summer from a
host of major events.
This included Taste of Tasmania, Sunset
Cinemas Canberra, Sydney Hills Outdoor
Cinema, Opera on Sydney Harbour,
Townville’s Culture Fest and Greek Fest,
Brisbane’s Soundwave and Woodford
Folk Fest.
Shipping containers featured at festivals
and major events as organisers jumped
on the pop-up wave, transforming the
units into everything from merchandise
kiosks, ticket booths and refrigerators to
restaurants, bars, shops and sound walls.
Adelaide Fringe, a month long program
of cabaret, comedy, circus, dance, film,
theatre, music and visual art, ordered 120
containers alone.
Royal Wolf’s Chief Operating Officer,
Neil Littlewood, said there was a huge
increase in orders this year as event
organisers created a host of new uses
such as artist’s green rooms, public
walkways and obstacle courses.
“Shipping containers are no longer
limited to traditional storage but have
become an essential part of the festival
scene,” he said.
“They are easily modified and transported
to venues as a practical, secure and cost
effective solution, and in the case of a
tight footprint, can be stacked on top of
each other.
“The container has really come in to
vogue across the events market, now
they’re seen as economical, trendy and
cool,” he said.
