Cider welcomes Irish fans to The Cheltenham Festival
with 250ft installation under flightpath from Dublin
Magners Irish Cider kicks off The Festival™ by welcoming the 25,000 Irish fans flying into Bristol Airport from Dublin, with a 250ft installation, located directly under the flightpath, visible on the approach to the UK.
The vinyl installation, situated beside the coast in Pembrokeshire, took a team of four three days to complete and has nearly 3,000 industrial tent pegs to keep it firmly in place for the duration of The Festival ™.
