Festival container hire: mobile units up in a day

A festival container from WeFoldIt is a foldable unit of 6 x 2.45 m that you use as a bar, backstage, dressing room or production space on a festival site. The units fold together: 10 fit on one truck and are up in a day. Modular to connect, single or double storey, and fully brandable.

You are not hiring a standard shipping container, but collapsible event units that are set up quickly and efficiently at any location. Handy when site space and time are limited. Want to know what it costs for your event? Request a quote via the enquiry form on the site.

Who festival container hire is for and when

A festival container works anywhere you temporarily need a finished space. The situations below are the most common at festivals and large events.

• Festival bar unit: a collapsible bar that goes up fast and can be branded, ideal for busy sales points.
• Backstage and dressing room: lockable, comfortable spaces for artists and crew, away from the audience.
• Production space: a quiet workspace for the production team, close to the stage.
• Merchandise and sales: an eye catching sales unit that stands out from the rest with branding.
• Brand activation: a fully branded unit with which a brand makes its mark on the site.

What you get

Each unit measures 6 x 2.45 m and can be combined into larger structures. Below are the versions and options you can choose.

What it costs

The price of a festival container depends on your choices, so we work with a tailored quote. We do not quote a fixed amount, because every site and programme is different.

The main factors that determine the price:

• Number of units and whether single or double storey;
• Rental period and the build up and break down time;
• Transport distance to the location;
• Version: glass walls, roof terrace, branding and fit out.

Because 10 units fit on one truck, transport costs stay relatively low for larger orders. Request a quote with your numbers and dates for a concrete proposal.

How it works

From enquiry to break down you follow a fixed process. Thanks to the fold system, the build on site often takes just a day.

1. You send an enquiry with location, date, number of units and desired version.
2. We create a quote and a proposal for the layout.
3. Once agreed, we plan transport and build, with branding if wanted.
4. The units are built on the site, usually within a day.
5. After the event we dismantle and fold the units back in and remove them.
