Hawthorn Supply MoonWalk Events For Seventh Year Running

For the seventh year running Hawthorn Theatrical Ltd, suppliers of lighting, sound, video, staging and drapes, have supplied Walk the Walk’s Moonwalk and Sunwalk power walk challenges in aid of Breast Cancer charities.
As usual, as well as supplying the London MoonWalk held in Hyde Park, Hawthorns have also supplied the Edinburgh MoonWalk and the Bristol SunWalk. However, this year they will also be supplying the very first Newcastle SunWalk, which is due to be held on September 7.
For the two MoonWalks and over 27,000 'MoonWalkers', 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 to Hyde Park for the main structure and 9 smaller ancillary marquees. Hawthorns used 6 main generators and over 10 miles of cable to supply the marquues. Hawthorns used 6 main generators and over 10 miles of cable to supply the marquees, 280 toilets and numerous catering wagons with power.
Hawthorns also introduced their news LED message display at the start and finish gates, which can display real time messages and a clock. These LED message display systems are ideal for display information and for crowd control at live events and so were perfect for Walk the Walk's events.
Hawthorns MD, Martin Hawthorn commented: "This is a charitable cause very close to my heart and I am delighted that Hawthorns continue to both support and supply these events as the walks grow in size and new locations are added."
