Turf Mesh Reinforces Grounds at Denmark’s Largest Autumn Market

Store Brønderslev Marked is Northern Jutland’s largest autumn market, held in Denmark across an impressive 41,500 square metres of outdoor space. With over 100,000 visitors attending each year, the event offers a vibrant blend of horse trading, fairground attractions, entertainment, and traditional huckster’s stalls.

In recent years, however, adverse weather conditions have caused significant issues. Persistent rainfall left many of the access roads and parking areas muddy and impassable. This led to a decline in visitor numbers, as both attendees and vendors struggled with unreliable access. Faced with the risk of dwindling attendance, the organising committee recognised the need for a fast, reliable, and budget-friendly ground reinforcement solution.

After evaluating several options, the team chose to install Turf Mesh—a durable ground protection system—around the event space. This solution offered a quick and cost-effective way to create temporary carriageways that could support the weight of heavy vehicles and help ensure safe passage across the site. It also played a crucial role in maintaining compliance with health and safety standards.

Installation of the Turf Mesh took place in June, just ahead of peak season. The results were immediately visible: despite considerable rainfall and the constant passage of vehicles, the mesh reinforcement prevented ruts, reduced subsidence, and maintained a stable surface throughout the event.

“Turf Mesh provided exactly the solution we needed. It’s made a real difference to how the event functions and has given us confidence for future years.”
