Alongside a unit installed as the music office in Arcadia and a unit within Green Field.

A unit was supplied as a camping field office in the Greenpeace Field and 50/50 jackleg units were provided to The Park area for the production office disco and a unit was delivered to the Rabbit Hole; Glastonbury’s most talked about mystery realm.

A ticket office was supplied to Heds Party DJ battle and dance extravaganza in Silver Hayes.
