Background

Our client, Winter Gardens Blackpool asked us to come to site to meet the agency responsible for bringing the festive Friends exhibition, FriendsFest to the venue.

We put together a detailed document with an image of each signage point and sizing details so the artwork team had everything they needed to start work.

The Project

Most events use set signage points around the venue to promote events, both in the lead up and during the event.

With FriendsFest it soon became obvious that this was going to be a bit out of the norm due to the event’s scale and the amount of signage needed to bring the exhibition to life.

Artworks started coming over to us a week before the opening date so we had to quickly get to work.

We produced and installed the following for the exhibition within that timeframe.

Internal

  • 50 sq. meters of printed PVC banners.
  • 30 sq. meters of window graphics
  • 60 sq. meters of wall graphics
  • 40 sq. meters of foamex panels
  • Various floor graphics and correx panels around the venue

External

  • Lamp post banners
  • Side of venue high level banner
  • Low level pelmet sign
  • Street level foamex panels
  • Street level aboard posters

The Outcome

To be able to help on a project of this size and with it being for a show as notable as Friends was a huge honour.

Ellie Barnatt, project manager of FriendsFest, commented that we were very easy to work with and it was a pleasure working with us, which was great to hear.

Bringing an exhibition like this to town requires huge planning but once the artwork is set it’s one less thing for the organisers to worry about it. Once an organiser sends all the detail to us we take care of everything sign-related from that point. It’s vital that our clients can have every confidence in us that we will deliver everything on time and to their exact specifications.
