A Royal Reveal: Unveiling Curtains at York Races

/in /by

Such a memorable occasion! We were honoured to provide our blue wall-mounted unveiling curtains for a truly prestigious vent at York Races, where Queen Camilla unveiled a plaque to commemorate the G1 Juddemonte International being named the Longines World’s Best Race 2024.

As a company proudly based in York, we regularly supply unveiling systems to events all over the UK. But it felt particularly special to see our work take centre stage at such an iconic event right here in the heart of the home city. The elegant blue curtains provided a simple yet striking frame for the plaque, ensuring that the reveal had all the drama and significance the moment deserved.

While wall-mounted unveiling systems are a popular choice for plaques, we know every event has its own requirements. That’s why we offer a full range of unveiling solutions, including:

  • Unveiling Drapes – perfect for larger displays such as artworks or oversized plaques.
  • Freestanding Curtain Systems – an excellent option for venues without a suitable wall.
  • Accessories & Finishing Touches – including ceremonial scissors for ribbon-cuttings and red carpet hire to give your event a VIP feel.

Whether it’s a royal occasion, a community celebration, or a corporate milestone, we understand the importance of marking the moment with style. Our unveiling curtains and accessories are designed to add polish and theater, helping organisers create ceremonies that feel both professional and memorable.

Being part of the Queen’s visit to York Races was a real highlight for us. If your planning an unveiling of your own, we’d love to help you stage it perfectly with our range of curtains, drapes and ceremonial accessories.
