The Challenge: A Last-Minute Need for Safety on the Sand
Brighton’s Big Screen is a popular outdoor film festival drawing thousands of visitors to the beachfront each summer. With five weeks of film, food, and live entertainment planned, the organisers were ready to welcome large crowds.
However, in the final stages of preparation, they faced an urgent challenge. To meet health and safety requirements, they needed effective ground protection that would allow safe access across the beach site, particularly in the event of wet weather.
With time running out, they needed a fast, dependable solution.
The GroundGuards Solution: MultiTrack Mats Delivered Overnight
The Brighton Big Screen team turned to GroundGuards for help. We recommended our MultiTrack system – a robust, non-slip mat ideal for pedestrian traffic.
MultiTrack mats are strong yet lightweight, making them quick and easy to install without machinery. Designed with safety in mind, they provide excellent grip even in poor weather conditions.
Our team acted immediately. Within 24 hours of the initial call, a full delivery of MultiTrack mats was en route to Brighton. Once on site, the mats were laid quickly, transforming sections of the beach into safe, navigable walkways for thousands of festivalgoers.
Results & Outcome: A Safe, Successful Event
Thanks to the rapid response and the reliability of the MultiTrack system, the Brighton Big Screen event went ahead without a hitch.
The organiser later shared their appreciation:
“We honestly could not have opened without your track mats! We were tremendously impressed with your professionalism, flexibility and wonderful attitude – particularly with last minute additions to our order!”
With safe walkways in place, attendees could enjoy the festival regardless of weather, and the beach remained protected throughout.
