On 13 March 2025, Drumsheds was transformed by Taylor Bennett into a one-night festival for top Adobe Express users across UK universities. Invited students arrived by shuttle bus, stepping into an industrial playground re-imagined for live music, hands-on workshops and brand storytelling.
Room X anchored the programme: a full production set-up framed performances from Declan McKenna, Sínead Harnett and a closing DJ set by Sam Thompson, all delivered through the venue’s integrated stage, lighting and audio systems. The Stores hosted interactive booths and indoor street-food trucks, while Room Y carried pop-up challenges and creative demos. The Gallery and Dressing Rooms kept artists and crew close to the action, streamlining changeovers and content capture.
Drumsheds’ scale let more than three thousand guests move freely between spaces without queues, and unrestricted branding rights meant Adobe could wrap walls, floors and digital screens to make the venue its own. By night’s end the festival had proved how a raw warehouse, smart production and a clear idea can unite community, culture and brand ambition under one roof.
