Festival season is all about creating energy, excitement, and moments that stick in people’s minds — and that starts the moment they walk through the gates. One of the easiest and most effective ways to capture attention and shape a great atmosphere is through the use of festival flags.
At Sailflags, we’ve worked with events across the UK, supplying vibrant feather flags that not only help food and drink stalls get noticed, but also bring life and colour to entire event spaces.
When you’re running a festival with dozens (or even hundreds) of stalls, visibility is a challenge — particularly for independent traders. Feather flags are a practical and eye-catching solution. Their height and movement in the wind help draw the eye, even in crowded areas.
Many food and drink stallholders choose feather flags to:
Highlight what they’re offering (Wood-Fired Pizza, Gin Bar, Plant-Based Grill, etc.)
Reinforce their brand or signage
Improve footfall and visibility from key walkways
We often hear from event organisers who want to support their traders with signage that’s easy to set up, reusable, and doesn’t take up too much space — feather flags tick all those boxes.
Festival flags aren’t just for signage — they’re also one of the simplest ways to transform open fields or large outdoor venues into welcoming and vibrant spaces. By placing colourful flags along walkways, entrances, or staging areas, you can instantly set the tone and make your site feel more alive.
Some event organisers use feather flags to define areas (family zones, bars, workshops), while others use them purely for decoration — adding rhythm and movement to their site plan.
At Sailflags, we’ve seen how much difference a splash of colour can make. We’ve helped design coordinated flag schemes to match festival themes, from earthy tones for sustainability events to bold neons for high-energy music festivals.
We design and manufacture all of our feather flags in our own workshop in Cornwall, using eco-friendly recycled materials and high-quality dye sublimation printing. This means we’re in full control of the process — and can help you quickly and efficiently, whether you’re ordering one flag or one hundred.
