Wernick Events Shortlisted for Festival Supplier Awards 2026
Wernick Events has been announced as a finalist at the Festival Supplier Awards 2026, celebrating the very best suppliers and production teams supporting the UK’s live events industry.
The team has been shortlisted in the New Product/Service of the Year category for its RestPod, a new, high-quality sleeper unit designed to improve comfort, welfare, and efficiency for event crews and organisers on site.
Now in its eleventh year, the Festival Supplier Awards recognise innovation, expertise, and excellence across every part of the outdoor events supply chain. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Thursday 29th January 2026, held at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
Commenting on the shortlist, Michelle Tayton, Event Director of the Festival Supplier Awards, said:
Once again, we’ve been blown away by both the volume and calibre of entries for the Festival Supplier Awards. Our finalists really highlight the creativity, capability, and capacity that exists within the outdoor event industry. Making the shortlist is an achievement in itself and Wernick Events has been recognised for its hard work and ability to deliver.
The RestPod, launched in 2025, has already made its mark across major events including Glastonbury, British Summer Time, Download, Bloodstock, Bearded Theory, and the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yr Urdd. Its compact yet premium design offers a modern, insulated, and comfortable accommodation solution for crews and contractors, helping organisers raise welfare standards while reducing logistical pressures.
The Wernick Events team will attend the ceremony in January, joining leading names from across the events industry in celebrating innovation and excellence.
