Supporting Grassroots Sport with Commercial-Grade Gazebos

Published in Case Studies

Banbury Rugby Club & Banbury Belles Case Study

We’re proud to share a recent community partnership that reflects exactly what local sport is about: support, development, and giving back.

Our project with Banbury Rugby Club (BRFC) demonstrates how commercial-grade gazebos and event branding can enhance matchday presentation, improve sponsor visibility, and support grassroots sport at every level.

What We Supplied

As part of this collaboration, we provided a full matchday and event setup designed for durability, visibility, and regular use across training sessions, fixtures, and community events:

  • 6x 3m x 3m Aluminium Extreme 40 Series gazebos with printed canopies and back walls
  • 6 sets of navy blue sidewalls for flexible configuration
  • 20 large feather flags with double-sided print, representing age groups from Under 6s to Under 16s
  • Universal water weights for pitch-side stability

This setup not only displays our branding but also delivers a consistent, professional matchday presence, giving the club a reliable solution for shelter, branding, and functional use – rain or shine.

Built for Grassroots Sport

At Gazeboshop, we’ve been supplying UK clubs, organisations, and event teams with commercial-grade gazebos for over 20 years. Our gazebos are fully waterproof, providing essential sheltered space for teams, staff, and equipment during both training sessions and matchdays.

The Challenge

Banbury Rugby Club needed a reliable solution for matchday shelters and branding. The club was looking for a product that would withstand the elements and provide flexible branding opportunities, all while being suitable for regular use at training and community events.

Gazeboshop's Solution

We provided Banbury Rugby Club with a tailored gazebo setup that would not only serve the practical needs of sheltering players and staff but also help them boost sponsor visibility and create a more professional presence at events. The setup included durable aluminium gazebos with printed canopies and sidewalls, as well as feather flags to represent the club’s different age groups.

 

The Results

 

  • Professional Matchday Presentation: The gazebos gave the club a polished, consistent look for matchdays, helping the club present itself in the best possible light.
  • Increased Sponsorship Visibility: The branded gazebos and flags helped raise the club’s visibility, which was important for attracting and maintaining sponsors.
  • Support for Grassroots Sport: The setup provided the club with the necessary infrastructure to host community events, support grassroots rugby, and create an inviting environment for spectators.

 

A Sponsorship Exchange That Works

 

Our collaboration with Banbury Rugby Club included social media promotion, pitch-side banners, and event sponsorship visibility. In exchange for our support, they display our branding on their gazebos and flags, which strengthens both of our presences in the local sports community. This mutually beneficial relationship enhances the matchday experience and supports local grassroots sport.

“As a community sponsor, I wanted to say a big thank you for your support. Without it, we would not be able to achieve the great work we are doing in the community. We’ve delivered 1,100 free meals to local children and their families, as well as school deliveries and other projects.” – Matt Goode, Director of Rugby & Commercial Manager, Banbury Rugby Club

 

Supporting Local Clubs

 

“Partnerships like this go beyond branding – they help clubs build a strong identity that represents players, supporters, and the wider community. We’re thrilled to support Banbury Rugby Club with solid, commercial-grade gazebos that are built to handle real matchdays as they continue to grow both on and off the field.” – Craig, Office Manager, Gazeboshop
