Last-minute festival awnings made easy with our same-day service

When you’re preparing for a festival, you always think you have more time than you do, especially when they come at the last minute. Whether it’s a grassroots music event, a food and drink fair, or a high-energy motorsport weekend, there’s always a lot to think about. Sometimes, the awning ends up being the final piece of the puzzle. That’s where we come in!

At The Awning Company, we specialise in providing premium-quality, custom-made awnings quickly, with short lead times, capped off by our one-day fitting service. We do everything we can to ensure that you get exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. Whether you’re after a shaded hospitality area, a protected workspace, or a covered area to serve your customers, you can count on us to make last-minute festival setups simpler than ever before.

How we ensure maximum efficiency here at The Awning Company

If you have an event coming up and still need a bespoke festival awning, you may still have time. With breadth and depth of our in-house expertise here at The Awning Company, we design and manufacture bespoke awnings on-site at our very own factory in Bolton, Lancashire. That enables us to maintain total control over the timescale and quality of our manufacturing process. 

As a bespoke manufacturer, we’re able to work to short lead times when needed. Thanks to our in-house design and print service, we can create an awning tailored specifically to your needs. And don’t worry about extended downtime or shipping parts back and forth — we prepare your awning sheeting oversize in advance and complete the finishing touches directly on your vehicle, all within our one-day fitting service helping to minimise vehicle downtime. This forward planning ensures we can complete the installation in just one day.

So, if you need an awning for an upcoming event, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team as soon as you can – so that we can provide you with a realistic expectation of when you can expect your awning. Plus, whatever the timescale involved in designing and assembling it, you’ll still have access to our same-day fitting service. 

What does our one-day fitting service involve?

Once your awning’s design has been finalised, and we have all the necessary components we need to assemble it, then it’s time to install it on its intended vehicle. That’s where our fast, reliable 24-hour turnaround comes in. As we’ve touched on above, everything is handled in-house at our factory in Bolton, Lancashire. We know the run-up to a festival can be full on, so we aim to make the fitting process as easy as possible. While we work on your vehicle, you can stay connected in our customer lounge with WiFi, tea, coffee and a comfy seat to get on with your day. If you’d prefer, you’re also welcome to head out for a walk or hop on a tram into Manchester for a few hours. When you come back, your brand-new, festival-ready awning will be fully installed and good to go!

Designed for your vehicle and festival setup

No two festival setups are the same, and your awning should be just as unique. Whether you’re running a food truck, a panel van, a 7.5-tonne rigid truck, or a large articulated trailer, we can create a tailored awning that fits your vehicle perfectly and meets your festival needs.

We regularly supply awnings for campervans, mobile service vehicles, race trailers, and many more. Each awning is made to order with plenty of customisable options to choose from, including size, colour, materials, and branding. This way, your awning will work exactly how you need it to and match the style and aesthetic of your brand.

Built to perform in all festival weather

Everyone knows that British festivals are known for their unpredictable weather, from blazing sun to sudden downpours. That’s why our awnings are built to last and designed to provide excellent all-weather protection. Whether you need shade to keep guests cool or a shelter to protect your equipment from rain, our awnings will deliver throughout the event and beyond.

They’ll provide safe, shaded spaces for your customers, staff, catering areas, or equipment storage. Each awning we design is engineered to handle the repeated travel, quick setups, and pack-downs that come with festival life, so you can focus on putting on a great show or serving your customers without worrying about your set up.

Trusted by festival pros and event organisers across the UK

We have over 30 years of experience supporting professionals who work in fast-paced, deadline-driven industries. Motorsport teams, mobile technicians, equine specialists, and event organisers all trust our awnings to support their day-to-day operations. We understand how important it is to have a portable, reliable space to operate from at festivals – your awning needs to be easy to set up, built to last, and customised to represent your brand perfectly. That’s why every awning we make is designed with those needs in mind.
