Bar marquees at Oakwell.

Barnsley, South YorkshireSporting events

On 3 August 2024, Oakwell Stadium, home of Barnsley FC, hosted Callum Simpson’s British and Commonwealth super-middleweight title challenge against Zak Chelli, live on Sky Sports. The football ground became an outdoor boxing venue with temporary facilities around the arena.

UK Event Structures supplied the clearspan marquees used as event bars. Positioned along the stadium stands, the structures provided covered interiors for the bar teams and open serving fronts facing the event space.

Repeated marquee bays created a continuous frontage for the bar setup. The photographs below show our structures in position during the wider event build, alongside production equipment and arena barriers.
