Hawthorn Build Walls at Leadenhall Market
As part of what has already been an exceptionally busy Christmas season, Hawthorn recently transformed London’s Leadenhall Market into a draft free venue for events!
Hawthorns provided a repeatable temporary solution to close off Leadenhall Market’s open ends, as it was to be used as a venue for a series of parties over the festive season; as part of a joint working arrangement with A Mumford Events. The brief was for temporary ‘walls’ which could be installed and removed within the hour, so they did not interfere with the market’s trade.
Hawthorn’s Production Solutions team designed custom PVC panels to act as gable ends, which were made to measure by their in-house drapes department. The gable ends were suspended from the market ceiling by trussing installed by the company’s new specialist in-house rigging department. The PVC gable ends were then clad in black drapes and starcloth to complete the look.
Additionally Hawthorn also installed custom made PVC roof panels to mask off the drafts from the louvered glazed roofing.
Alec Mumford, MD of A Mumford Events, congratulated the Hawthorns team at being able to rig the walls in time to open doors 30 minutes early. Commenting later, Alec said: "Working with Hawthorn’s professional staff provides confidence for all of our other events coming up at the market.”
