Tempstore was proud to once again provide large-scale temporary refrigerated storage for this year’s British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park, helping to keep thousands of drinks perfectly chilled despite exceptionally hot summer temperatures.
For the second consecutive year, Tempstore supplied portable refrigerated cold rooms to support the busy bars across the festival site. With huge crowds attending Hyde Park throughout the event, reliable chilled storage was essential to keeping beer and soft drinks cold and ready to serve.
7,000 Square Feet of Temporary Chilled Storage
For this year’s event, Tempstore supplied an extensive temporary refrigeration installation comprising:
- 3 double Tempstore 26 units
- 6 triple Tempstore 26 units
- 1 Tempstore 18 unit
Together, the units provided approximately 7,000 square feet of refrigerated storage, creating the chilled capacity required to support one of the UK’s biggest summer music events.
The Tempstores were used primarily for storing and chilling beer and soft drinks before distribution to bars around the festival site.
Keeping Cool in Record Temperatures
This year brought an additional challenge, with record temperatures recorded during the festival. While the crowds enjoyed the sunshine and performances in Hyde Park, behind the scenes the demand for cold drinks was understandably high.
That made dependable refrigeration more important than ever.
Despite the extreme outdoor temperatures and the demanding festival environment, the Tempstore units continued to provide the chilled storage needed to keep supplies cold and the drinks flowing throughout the event.
Large outdoor events present a particular challenge for refrigeration. Significant chilled capacity needs to be installed temporarily, operate reliably under heavy demand and then be removed once the event is over. Tempstore’s portable cold rooms are ideally suited to this type of application, providing high-capacity refrigerated storage wherever and whenever it is required.
Proud to Support British Summer Time for a Second Year
This was the second year running that Tempstore has supplied temporary cold storage for British Summer Time Hyde Park, and we’re delighted to have once again played our part in supporting such a major event.
