WELCOME aving recently wandered through the busy pavilions at Goodwood Festival of Speed,

it’s clear that the creative juices are flowing amongst organisers, live event agencies and brands.

The annual festival of motoring is a mecca for petrol heads and car fans.

But, it’s also where I like to check out the latest in creative structure design and use.

The motoring event is a brilliant place for events professionals to discover some really innovative temporary structure designs, particularly if you have a healthy event budget. But that’s not all – Goodwood Festival of Speed is also a hive of event activity with major brands looking to captivate the show’s loyal and enthusiastic visitors, so it provides perfect inspiration for more intimate stands and experiential activities too.

Each and every year, the team at Stand Out magazine endeavour to bring you the latest news and creative ideas if you’re looking for a temporary structure. This year is no different, so we’ve created this Temporary Structures Guide, an open and honest reference, brimming with inspiration and information, and there are contacts galore if you’re looking for a new structure or marquee.

Whether you’re organising a festival, county show, product launch, exhibition or private party in the great outdoors then this guide will provide you with you all you need to know – the names and numbers of some of the best event suppliers in the business, and the know-how so that you can make an informed choice when choosing a temporary structure for your next event, experience or touring campaign.
