Trackway Hire for Events
Outdoor events should feel effortless for your visitors, even when the ground is anything but. Whether you’re running a weekend music festival, a one-day sports meet or a Christmas light trail, our aluminium trackway keeps people and vehicles moving safely, protects the site and helps everything run to time.
From the first site visit to the final panel lift, we work with you to plan access, install temporary roads, walkways and car parks, and stay flexible if your build changes.
You find a route, we’ll find a way.
Why events organisers use trackway
Outdoor venues are rarely designed for heavy traffic, HGV deliveries and thousands of pairs of feet, especially in typical British weather.
Our event trackway gives you:
- Reliable access in all conditions – robust aluminium panels span soft, wet or uneven ground to create solid temporary roads and load-in routes for trucks, plant, staging and AV vehicles.
- Ground protection – trackway spreads load and prevents grass, parkland and sensitive sites being churned into mud, helping you avoid costly reinstatement after the event.
- Safer routes for people – non-slip panel surfaces reduce slips and trips, keeping visitors, crew and VIPs moving safely between entrances, arenas and facilities.
- Smoother logistics – planned routes for build, break and emergency access keep suppliers on schedule and make it easier to manage large sites.
- Support from an experienced team – we’ve provided trackway for major festivals and sporting events, including Glastonbury, Goodwood, the British and Scottish Open and T in the Park.

Temporary event roadways
- HGV and supplier access roads for build and breakdown.
- Service routes for waste, catering, medical and security vehicles.
- Back-of-house roads behind stages, arenas and hospitality areas.
Our aluminium roadway panels are engineered for heavy loads, with cross-serrated surfaces for traction and a heavy-duty reverse for larger vehicles.
Pedestrian walkways and viewing areas
- Main pedestrian spines from car parks to entrances and key attractions.
- Accessible routes for wheelchair users, pushchairs and people with limited mobility.
- Stable platforms for temporary seating, grandstands and viewing terraces.
By turning panels to the textured side where needed, we create safe, non-slip walking surfaces that still protect the ground underneath.
Temporary car parks
- Overflow grass car parks at festivals, shows and sports events.
- VIP or staff parking on fields that would normally bog down in bad weather.
Trackway creates clearly defined parking lanes and hard-wearing surfaces so vehicles can arrive and leave without getting stuck, even when it’s been raining for days.
Specialist event routes
- Emergency access routes for ambulances and response vehicles.
- Media compounds and broadcast trucks on stadium pitches or sensitive turf.
- Stable routes and hard-standing for funfair rides, stages, marquees and hospitality villages.
If your venue includes Sites of Special Scientific Interest, historic driveways or other sensitive areas, we’ll design routes that minimise impact while still giving you the access you need.
How it works
A clear, managed approach from our team of trackway experts
Free site survey
We walk the site with you, understand your event layout and traffic flows, and assess ground conditions, slopes, gateways and overhead services.
Bespoke plan and quote
You receive a site plan showing recommended roads, walkways and car parks, an outline panel count, risk assessments and method statements, plus a clear quotation and proposed install dates.
Installation by trained crews
Our operators arrive with specialist vehicles and hiab cranes, unload the panels and lay each one methodically, bolting them into place and flipping surfaces where extra grip is needed.
Event support and flexibility
If panel numbers or layouts need to change during install, we adapt on site and only charge for the panels actually deployed.
Removal and reinstatement
Once your event is finished and off-hire is confirmed, we return to lift the panels, remove all equipment and hand the site back with minimal disturbance.
