As well as supplying the London MoonWalk held in Hyde Park, Hawthorns has also supplied the Edinburgh MoonWalk, and also the Bristol and Newcastle SunWalks.For the two MoonWalks and over 27,000 walkers, Hawthorns provided lighting, sound, staging, rigging and power distribution which was installed into De Boer's massive 'pink palace', a 150m x 60m Galaxy structure.
Three artics of lighting, sound, rigging, power distro and site services made their way to Hyde Park for the main structure and nine smaller ancillary marquees. Hawthorns used six main generators and over 10 miles of cable to supply the marquees, 280 toilets and numerous catering wagons with power.
Hawthorns also introduced their new LED message display system at the start and finish gates, which can display real time messages and a clock.
Hawthorns MD, Martin Hawthorn commented: "This is a charitable cause very close to my heart and I am delighted that Hawthorns continues to both support and supply these events as the walks grow in size and new locations are added."
