Ashfield Show 2026 main stage with a T-shaped catwalk, lighting and stage effects during a live performance

Three-day outdoor festival / Sutton Lawn, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire / 7-9 August 2026

Ashfield Show 2026: Main Stage and T-Shaped Catwalk

8m x 6m trailer stage at full deck height, with an 8m catwalk and 4m x 3m end platform forming a T-shaped extension

Ashfield Show needed more than a standard festival stage. HeathTech delivered the 8m x 6m trailer stage at full deck height, then added an 8m catwalk and a 4m x 3m end platform to create a strong T-shaped performance space. The same team designed, rigged and operated the lighting and stage effects throughout the three-day programme.

Completed 8m x 6m trailer stage with covered PA wings for Rushcliffe Proms in the Park at Bridgford Park

Rushcliffe Proms in the Park 2026 Stage

8m x 6m trailer stage with covered PA wings and a deck height aligned to the client's backstage ramp

For Rushcliffe Proms in the Park, HeathTech supplied an 8m x 6m trailer stage with covered PA wings on the grass at Bridgford Park. Access through a height-restricted gate and the need to meet the client's existing backstage ramp made advance coordination just as important as the two-hour stage build.

Dance group performing on the 8m x 6m stage at Newport Carnival 2025 in Shropshire

Town-centre carnival / Newport, Shropshire / 2024 and 2025

8m x 6m trailer stage positioned on the town-centre mini-roundabout, with three rear banners added in 2025

For Newport Carnival in 2024 and 2025, the 8m x 6m trailer stage was installed directly on a mini-roundabout in the town centre. The unusual position made road-closure timing, vehicle approach and an immediate move into the High Street more important than the stage build itself.

8m x 6m trailer stage with top and side branding mounts and a lighting-led DJ performance setup

That's 90s Festival used the 8m x 6m trailer stage as both a performance platform and a large branded backdrop for its DJ-led show.
