We took our interactive Hydration Station to the Eastbourne Airbourne airshow from 15 to 18 August 2024, offering visitors a place to top-up their re-usable water bottles and talk about all things water.
In total, we gave out more than 3,000 litres (6,000 bottle refills) of water during the four-day festival of flying and talked about subjects ranging from how we treat water to careers and our environmental work.
It is the second year we’ve supported this event, which is also an opportunity to support Eastbourne Council’s plastic-free policy by offering refills.
Our team of experts were on hand to answer customer queries and also help the younger generation learn about water efficiency with our fun ‘pipes and ladders’ game.
We also set the station up at the Kent Show near Maidstone at the beginning of July.
Kent’s agricultural show attracts more than 60,000 visitors, showcasing agriculture and business within the community.
Our stand offered free refills into reusable water bottles, giving us the chance to engage with our customers and farmers to talk about the work we do, including tackling environmental issues.
Despite very wet weather dampening visitor numbers and the need for drinking water, the show was a success.
Across both events, we engaged with over 10,000 customers last summer.
