Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009 – Parasols for Audi and Qatar Airways.
SHADEmakers UK recently supplied parasols to three different events at this years Festival of Speed at Goodwood. The FoS has been running since 1993 and the annual hill climb event has become one of the most important events in motor racing’s calendar. Taking place in early July the event takes place in the traditional summer break for motorsports such as F1 and is a magnet for race teams and car manufactures from all over the world, the later often launching some of their more sort after models. Nowadays the event attracts more that 150,000 people and has a sister event, the “Revival“, held in September. For this year’s event Audi took centre stage, constructing an enormous centrepiece statue infront of Goodwood House.
We supplied a Liberty parasol to Audi for a promo event for their new R8 V10 – see photo below (and yes the car does somewhat distract from the Liberty in the first shot!). The Liberty parasol is a 3.5m one with a Pearl Mist canopy. We also supplied Audi’s main stand with a dozen Luna centrepost parasols (also with pearl mist canopies) for the large seating area outside. Unfortuately we forgot to take any photos but we’ve dug this one out (see below) – though typically the sun was in and our Lunas were closed!
We also supplied Qatar Airways‘ stand with 16 of our Harmattan 2.6m Octagonal parasols (wooden centreposts and in this case Pearl Mist Canopies).
Shademakers parasols at the Grove Hotel & Spa
Shademakers have recently installed a number of parasols at the Grove Hotel & Spa. The Grove is a luxury counrty house hotel located in Hertfordshire that offers 300-acres of park and woodlands, spa, world championship golf course and three restaurants.
Shademakers have installed a number of Luna and Sirio parasols. The large Sirios, in this case fitted with MultiValve canopies, offer large shaded areas for those relaxing after using the adjacent golf course. The MultiValve canopies are not only particularly striking but also allow wind to easily pass through them, greatly improving their stability on gusty days. The Lunas offer excellent compact shade to tables and alike and feature screen printed canopies.
