At Boardmasters Festival, the UNO activation is typically featured as “Uno Beach House”—an official festival partner venue where attendees can drop in, play interactive card games, and listen to live DJ sets.
While Smyths Toys is a major UK/Ireland retail partner for Mattel’s UNO products (and frequently partners with Mattel on experiential pop-up activations like the Uno Social Club speakeasy), the on-site festival space at Boardmasters is branded directly around UNO / Mattel.
What to Expect at the UNO Activation at Boardmasters:
-
Location & Setups: The Uno Beach House is set up within the main arena area of the festival. It provides a covered social space filled with tables, seating, and deck chairs where festivalgoers can relax out of the sun.
-
Gameplay & Editions: Staff at the stand provide deck setups for classic UNO, along with newer variations often heavily promoted at Smyths Toys (such as UNO Show ‘Em No Mercy, UNO Flip!, and UNO Liars).
-
DJ Sets & Vibe: Unlike a standard retail pop-up, the festival tent operates as a mini music venue featuring scheduled DJ sets throughout the afternoon and evening.
-
Freebies & Giveaways: Festival pop-ups generally feature brand activations, card deck giveaways, photo ops, and promotional discount codes or competitions linked to retail partners like Smyths Toys.
