THE PROJECT



Pop Up Power Supplies Ltd® were pleased to be asked to provide outdoor power solutions for Custom House Square (CHSq)—one of Belfast’s most popular live music and events venues. Since launching in 2017 with a capacity of 5,000, CHSq has grown significantly in both size and reputation, hosting a wide range of performances and attracting thousands of visitors each year.

POWER FOR MUSIC VENUES


Outdoor concerts and events require substantial and reliable power for lighting, sound systems, and staging equipment. Traditionally, generators have been used for temporary power needs, but they can be noisy, polluting, and visually intrusive. That’s why many venues—including CHSq—are turning to more sustainable, discreet alternatives like our Pop Up Power Units.

Located in the heart of Belfast, Custom House Square has welcomed major artists across various genres, with past performers including The Chainsmokers, Kasabian, and George Ezra. In addition to concerts, the square also hosts community events and festivals, contributing to the city’s cultural scene and supporting local businesses through increased footfall and tourism. To support the smooth running of events at CHSq, Pop Up Power Supplies® worked alongside Edminson Electrical (Belfast), who handled the installation. PUPS01 retractable power units were supplied, providing convenient, on-demand access to power in a busy public space without compromising the venue’s appearance or functionality. The units are ideal for event spaces like CHSq, where temporary power is needed but space and aesthetics are also key considerations. By removing the need for bulky generators, they help maintain the quality and accessibility of the site.

We’re proud to support public spaces across the UK with flexible and sustainable power solutions—including Wembley Arena Square, Covent Garden, Edinburgh Castle, and the University of Exeter.
