MAPLAND for Festivals and Shows

A fun and educational attraction

Mapland is a highly novel attraction for your Festival, Show or Event and is available for hire either independently or with one of our staff accompanying Mapland.

Mapland appeals to everyone from toddlers to Grandparents and a range of fun family-learning activities can be run on Mapland.

Some of the Shows and Festivals attended by Mapland:

The Gathering 2009 Highland Games in Edinburgh
Cliffhanger Event in Sheffield
The OS Outdoors Show in Birmingham
The Big Tent Festival in Fife

"Mapland came to Cliffhanger last weekend and were brilliant. Everybody loved it and I’d say it was one of the highlights of the show!" Matt Heason, Cliffhanger.

Activities
We have a range of family-learning activities that can be run with Mapland. Additionally, we can design bespoke educational activities for particular themes or messages. People engage with Mapland very naturally e.g. looking for their house, where they have been on holiday, where Granny lives, where they grew up, etc.

Hire Logistics
Mapland is for indoor use only i.e. hall or marquee. For use in a marquee, temporary flooring must be used (such as viscose rubber or wooden flooring), to give a flat even surface. Mapland must not be installed directly on outside ground as the jigsaw pieces will not be flush.

Pedestrian barriers are also required around the map to control access and prevent people from coming on the map with their shoes on. There must only be only one point of supervised entry where users remove their shoes. Mapland must be supervised at all times. Please note the hire prices below are for the map hire alone and do not include pedestrian barriers etc - the Hirer must provide these structures.

Hire prices for events
Accompanied hire for a 2 day event - £1060 + VAT
Independent hire for a 2 day event - £585 + VAT

Longer Term Exhibitions
Mapland is available for longer term exhibitions at a weekly rate of £375 + VAT based on a minimum 4 week hire period. This price is for independent hire.
