Last Tuesday we wrote a post about our Spiegeltents. As it happens, one of the Spiegeltents was being used at the Shambala Festival last weekend for their cabaret venue, The Social Club, and we have just received some photos from our friend Erika (FantasticPrints) that you might like to see. Thanks Erika!
For something different have you ever thought about hiring a Spiegeltent?
The Spiegeltent is a popular venue – you may have seen it at the Bath or Edinburgh Fringe – and it is popular because of the unique atmosphere created within.
Spiegeltents were originally used as travelling music halls and were built around the beginning of the 20th Century and it is this very classy Art Deco style that lends itself to stylish music performances today.
One trend we are beginning to see is the use of the Spiegeltent for arts festivals or literary events, again because of the unique atmosphere created by the Spiegeltent.
We are able to provide the Idolize or Salon Perdu models giving you a capacity of up to 450 standing or 250 seated around a wooden performance area surrounded by mirrored booths.
Have a look at our Spiegeltent page and see for yourself how beautiful these structures are.
SaddleSpans are synonymous with festivals and concerts. Here at The Amazing Tent Company we’ve had the privilege of being involved in some of the biggest festivals in the country and our SaddleSpans have been used as stage covers or bars all around the country.
Festivals and concerts are not the only events that our SaddleSpans have been used for and here are five other suggestions:
For something different try staging a conference in one of our SaddleSpans. You have the flexibility of holding your conference where you want to hold it – somewhere unique. You are not limited to boring hotels or boring rooms and you can design the interior how you want it to look. With a SaddleSpan as your conference venue you will stand out from the crowd and create an impact with your delegates.
Imagine the possibilities of holding your exhibition in a tent (albeit a very large tent). You can make use of the OUTSIDE space too. We’ve seen exhibitions that combine the inside and outside spaces available to give amazing demonstrations. You can have all of your promotional display material and stands inside and give exhibitors space outside to demonstrate their product. One exhibition comes to mind where everyone was inside looking over beautiful rolling countryside and a tractor display!
Again, the name of the game is flexibility. You can hold your award ceremony wherever you want. Well, nearly anywhere – you can’t have it on the top of Snowdon because it’s too small although even then we’d come up with a solution.
Becoming very popular are corporate organised fun days for employees and their families – our SaddleSpans are idea tents for these events. Our SaddleSpans can be used as tents or canopies, depending on your requirements and they create a stunning backdrop for a fun day out.
A SaddleSpan structure comes into its own for gala dinners. We’ve helped stage events in some of the most beautiful and historic locations imaginable. You are able to plan everything according to your vision and for extra special occasions you can really push the boat out.
With a wide range of SaddleSpans (S5000, S2000, S1000) available to choose from and an even wider range of combinations available the SaddleSpan makes a great alternative venue whatever event you are planning.
Our SaddleSpan S1000 Trispan is proving to be a popular addition to our stable of SaddleSpans.
Here are a few techinical details:
Area: 470sqm
Footprint 34m x 29m
Height: 5m
Capacity (Standing): 950 pax
Capacity (Seating): 470 pax
The addition of the S1000 Trispan to our range of SaddleSpans now gives you a wide range of sizes and capacities to choose from. Visit our SaddleSpan pages to see other configurations available.
We have some wonderful aerial pictures of our SaddleSpans – a huge thank you to Rupert and Dave of Omni Media for them.
They were taken at WOMAD 2012 and show two of our SaddleSpan S5000 Concerts in their natural habitat. You can see these photos but in a larger format on our Facebook album set. Enjoy!
Our latest addition to the SaddleSpan stable is making its debut in Edinburgh. It’s a SaddleSpan S2000 and it joined The Amazing Tent Company at the same time as the S1000 Trispan.
You have to admit, it looks very good indeed.
We’ve created a YouTube video to give you some idea what our SaddleSpans look like when they’ve been put up and fixtures and fittings have been installed. Best watched with the sound turned up. Enjoy.
