Storage on Site was delighted to play a key role in this year’s Southampton Pride, one of the city’s most vibrant celebrations of diversity and inclusion. The festival, which brings thousands of people together each year to support the LGBTQ+ community, relies on strong partnerships to deliver a safe, professional and memorable event.
With fabulous performances from pop icon Jamelia, Ru Paul’s Drag Race superstar Divina De Campo, top tribute act Essentially Cher, Donna Marie as Lady Gaga, and many more, there was truly something for everyone. Alongside the main stage, the Community Stage, supported by the National Education Union, spotlighted local and grassroots talent.
Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, Storage on Site supplied four 10ft office cabins and a 20ft open-sided container to serve as dressing rooms and a merchandise stand. Our secure and sturdy units provided a comfortable and practical environment for both Southampton Pride volunteers and its performers.
Julianne Watling-McCarthy, Artistic Director of The Stage Door and lead organiser of Southampton Pride, expressed her excitement about working with SOS:
”We are so excited to have partnered with SOS for our Pride Festival this year - helping to elevate our event to the next level. Using the Container for our Merchandise Stalls and the Office Cabins for our dressing rooms has been a huge improvement for us and we're so excited to see what the future holds with SOS & Southampton Pride!

Our container and cabins played a small but important part in helping the event run smoothly. These units gave performers and organisers one less thing to worry about and allowing them to focus on what really mattered – creating a brilliant experience for everyone who came to celebrate.
