Coffee bar hire
for festivals
London.

Festivals - music, brand-led marketing festivals, food and culture events - run on a different logistics model to a single-venue activation. There is often no fixed kitchen, no guaranteed power beyond a generator feed, and a multi-day footprint where the bar has to hold up on day three the same as day one. UNIT provides a mobile coffee bar built for exactly this: self-sufficient, fully staffed and run by a team used to festival production schedules rather than a single call time.

We delivered a fully staffed iced matcha bar for CreatorIQ across three days of MAD//Fest 2026, the UK's biggest marketing festival, at the Truman Brewery in Shoreditch - 350 drinks served across the event. That is the standard we bring to festival brand activations, whether the booking is a single sponsor stand or the full guest-facing bar for the event.

Festivals are where hydration bar hire earns its place fastest - long days, often outdoors, guests on their feet for hours. Cold pressed juices, matcha lattes and electrolyte shots sit naturally alongside a coffee bar at a festival activation, and UNIT runs both from a single staffed setup rather than two separate suppliers to manage.

For summer festivals and multi-day outdoor sites, UNIT's compact, self-sufficient setup - requiring only a standard 13-amp socket and no plumbing or drainage - works across fields, temporary structures and standard venue power just as easily.

Festival organisers and the experiential agencies booking on behalf of sponsor brands are among our regular clients. We understand festival production timelines, load-in windows shared with dozens of other suppliers, and the expectation that the bar runs unattended by the client for the full run of the event once briefed.

For sponsor activations specifically, fully branded setups - cups, bar wraps, uniforms and menu boards - turn the bar into a genuine touchpoint rather than background catering. See how this played out for CreatorIQ's MAD//Fest activation.
