Few events in the UK calendar conjure up nostalgia and excitement in quite the same way as the iconic Goodwood Revival meeting, which takes place each year on the beautiful Goodwood Estate in West Sussex.
Goodwood Revival is an immersive celebration of iconic cars and fashion, and is the only historic motor race meeting to be staged entirely in a period theme. It is a 3-day event held each September, showcasing the types of racing cars and motorcycles that would have competed during the circuit’s original period of 1948 to 1966. Indeed, in its heyday, the Goodwood circuit ranked alongside Silverstone as Britain’s leading racing venue throughout its active years, hosting contemporary racing of all kinds, including Formula One, the Goodwood Nine Hours race, and the Tourist Trophy sports car race.
What a pleasure it is, therefore, for ECS to be the reusable cup partner for the Goodwood Estate, and being able to work on prestigious events not only such as this, but also at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Glorious Goodwood, and many others throughout the year.
Working alongside bar operators throughout the venue, over 350,000 reusable cups were used on one of the warmest weekends of the year. The team worked tirelessly to ensure a clean site, bar replenishment of cups, and the collection and packing of reusable cups into tote boxes to take off site for cleaning, drying and sanitising.
When you consider the amount of single use plastic cups that just one person would get through over the course of a hot weekend at this event, with a turnout of over 150,000 people, it is easy to see the impact that our reusable cup system has on reducing the levels of single use plastic and related carbon footprint at this event.
Event Cup Solutions offers reusable cup solutions to stadia, venues and big events across the UK throughout the year, so if you are looking to make your event or venue more sustainable in this way, don’t hesitate to contact one of our expert team who will be delighted to discuss the various options available to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
