Runaway was a two-day outdoor dance music festival over the May bank holiday, put together by LoveJuice, who have been running events since 2007. It sold out with names like Armand Van Helden, DJ EZ, and Kerri Chandler on the bill. LoveJuice had their own stage on the Sunday alongside Defected, Do Not Sleep, and more. You can find out more at wearelovejuice.com and runawayessex.com.
We sold nine 20ft containers to LoveJuice, arranged in three towers of three. Once in position, their team painted them up and turned them into the backdrop for the LoveJuice stage.
Stacking shipping containers three high on a racecourse isn’t something you can wing. We worked alongside D Smith Specialist Transport, who handled the haulage and crane work to get the containers delivered and stacked on site. Between us and the LoveJuice production team, everything was in place on time and it all came together without a hitch.
More and more event organisers are using shipping containers for festivals, and Runaway is a great example of why. They’re tough, they look great when they’re done up, and when the event’s over they’re easy to move on.
Whether it’s stage production, secure storage for equipment, bars, pop-up retail, or branding installations, containers give event organisers something flexible and practical. That makes them ideal for festivals, outdoor events, concerts, and anything else that needs solid infrastructure on site.
If you’re looking for shipping containers for an event, we’ve got containers for sale in sizes from 10ft up to 40ft. Buying gives you full control over what you do with them, whether that’s painting, branding, stacking, or converting them to suit your event.
We also offer containers for hire if you just need straightforward storage on site for a set period.
Not sure on sizes? Our guide to shipping container dimensions has everything, or browse by container size or by container type. We also offer a container site survey if you need us to check access and ground conditions at your venue.
Runaway was a standout job, but we’re just as busy with the everyday stuff. We recently donated two containers to UK Homes 4 Heroes to support homeless veterans, and we supply containers daily for everything from on-site storage to commercial and construction use. Big job or small, it gets the same attention.
