6 July 2026

It’s been an incredible year for Block Aid so far. 2026 has seen our team working to support some of the UK’s biggest and most recognised events. From world-famous sporting occasions to music festivals, motorsport events, flower shows, and Pride celebrations, we’ve been trusted to supply dependable temporary ballast and event infrastructure to keep these events running safely and efficiently. Whether we’re delivering marquee weights, concrete barriers, or security gates, we’ve been proud to play our part in creating successful events that welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors across the UK.  Every project is different, but our commitment remains the same: to deliver reliable products, responsive service, and nationwide coverage whenever our customers need us. How Have We Supported Silverstone F1 And Goodwood Festival? Motorsport events demand precision, careful planning, and dependable equipment; and that’s exactly what we provide. During the 2026 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the iconic Goodwood Festival, our team supplied event organisers and contractors with robust ballast solutions to help secure various temporary structures, and ensure security and public safety, across busy sites. Our marquee weights were ideal for supporting hospitality areas, exhibition spaces, and temporary event structures without the need to damage the ground with permanent fixings. We worked closely with event professionals to ensure each delivery arrived on schedule, allowing for hassle-free set-up even during tight time deadlines. Why Do Festivals Choose Our Marquee Weights? Summer festivals bring unique challenges, from unpredictable weather to complex site layouts. That’s why organisers of events such as British Summer Time, The Download Festival, Reading Festival, and The Blenheim Festival chose to rely on our products to help secure the temporary infrastructure throughout their event sites. Our marquee weights hire service was popular as it gave event organisers access to our high-quality ballast solutions without the cost and storage requirements of full ownership. Whether supporting large hospitality marquees, production compounds, or backstage facilities, our weights provided practical solutions for temporary structures where ground pinning wasn’t suitable. Because every event had different requirements, we worked collaboratively with our customers to help  identify the most appropriate ballast solution for each project: delivering our high quality, professionally finished blocks exactly when and where they were needed. How Have We Helped Wimbledon And The Chelsea Flower Show? Prestigious events require professional support. In addition to the previously mentioned events, this year at Block Aid, we’ve been proud to contribute to projects connected with Wimbledon and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show: where presentation, safety, and reliability were vital. Temporary event structures need dependable ballast that performs without compromising the appearance of the venue. Our concrete weights provided an effective solution for the temporary marquees set up in premium environments where careful installation was  essential. At the Chelsea Flower Show in particular, our support as a marquee weights hire company helped to ensure a variety of temporary structures remained securely in place, whilst blending seamlessly into the carefully managed surroundings. Do You Offer Specialist Event Weights? We have, and continue to, work with event organisers, production companies, marquee suppliers, and contractors, across a wide range of industries, supplying ballast solutions designed specifically for their unique temporary event applications. From hospitality villages and exhibition spaces, to production compounds, and outdoor structures, our products are specially selected to meet the practical requirements of the required temporary installations, whilst supporting efficient site operations. Our experience across nationally recognised events means we understand the pressures involved in large-scale event builds and are ready to support projects of every size with professionalism, organisation, and skill. Is Kentledge Blocks Hire Available Nationwide? The Kentledge blocks hire service we offer supports customers across the UK. With bespoke Multi Blocks hand-crafted to deliver exceptional support for numerous applications, scaffold fixings, straps and covers, and versatile truss plate options, we can find a solution for any event need: making it easy to source dependable temporary ballast solutions wherever your event is taking place. At Block Aid, we understand that successful events rely on careful coordination, which is why we place such importance on reliable deliveries, responsive customer service, and flexible hire periods. Whether supporting a single structure or multiple installation points across an extensive event site, we’ll work hard to help projects stay on track from the initial delivery through to collection. Can I Connect Signage To The Kentledge Blocks? Our Kentledge blocks can be used alongside temporary signage systems where appropriate, making them a practical option for supporting wayfinding, event branding, and temporary information displays. This flexibility allows organisers to maximise the usefulness of the ballast already being installed across the site whilst maintaining efficient temporary infrastructure. As always, our team is happy to discuss the intended application and recommend the most suitable solution for each project. Why Do So Many Event Professionals Choose Block Aid?
