Giant Marquee Hire

When event planners are looking to hire a giant marquee they come to The Amazing Tent Company because when we supply giant marquees we really supply giant marquees!

Here at Amazing Tent we provide SaddleSpans which can be used in a variety of ways depending on the configuration. They can become canopies, concert and stage covers or when enclosed, become marquees.

The SaddleSpan is a modular unit which means that one unit can be connected to another. When we connect two SaddleSpans we get a DuoSpan. Three SaddleSpans become a TriSpan (or trioSpan) and so on. The more SaddleSpans that are joined together the greater the capacity until you end up with very large marquees indeed – giant marquees in fact.

The following table will give you an idea of the size and capacities available for the S5000 SaddleSpan (Enclosed) unit:

SaddleSpan Configuration Area (m2) Standing Capacity

Marquee Hire for Corporate Events

In 2013, corporate event planners and managers did a wonderful job of promoting their companies by creating amazing events with a shrinking budget. 2014 is expected to be even more challenging, not only because budgets will be even tighter but because they will be expected to top the excellent events they organised in 2013.

One way to create an amazing event is to do something totally different. Corporate events in a hotel conference room are fine but totally predictable. A corporate event in the middle of a national park, castle grounds or a power station is something else completely.

The event planners that created the events mentioned previously thought out of the box. Instead of thinking “Where can I hold an event?” they thought “Where do I want to hold an event?” and then worked out the details.

With Amazing Tent’s Corporate Marquee Hire, planners can stage an event anywhere they choose. Our SaddleSpans can hold vast numbers of guests in total comfort. The marquees can be branded and configured to work for you. If you want the bar area, catering area, seating area and dancing area to be separate from each other that’s no problem. If you need seating for thousands in a typical conference configuration we can do that too.

Here at The Amazing Tent Company we understand the challenges faced by corporate event planners because we have many years experience working with them. As well as providing the marquee we are able to provide event consultation that covers every aspect of creating a successful event.

2014 may be a challenging year for event planners but it is also a year of opportunity here at Amazing Tent we want to help you achieve something wonderful and memorable for your client.

An Alternative Conference Setting

SECTOR: Conference marquee

EVENT: Company conference and/or award ceremony

VENUE: King’s College, Cambridge

THE BRIEF: To source an unusual setting for a conference marquee.

THE SOLUTION: An example could be the Back Lawn at King’s College, Cambridge.   It’s a spectacular setting for a marquee and having installed there before, Amazing Tents are fully aware of the sensitivity of the site.   The clean curved lines of a SaddleSpan are in sharp contrast to the beautiful architecture of the College buildings. A perfect alternative to a conference setting!

Amazing Tent Arco Goes on Tour

SECTOR: Exhibitions

EVENT: British Touring Car Championship Race Rounds

VENUES: Oulton Park Circuit, Silverstone Circuit and  Brands Hatch Circuit

THE BRIEF: Exhibition stand cover for experiential activation for eBay Motors Hub to be installed on tarmac or deck with interior and exterior branding opportunities.

THE SOLUTION: The 10m x 10m ARCO requires only one 500kg block of ballast on each corner so was a neat alternative to a standard marquee.  The clearspan 100m2 was used  to provide a challenge to the fans to beat the lap times set by the eBay Motors drivers on the race simulator in the Hub Live.

Universities Choose Amazing Tent for Student Balls

SECTOR: Corporate

EVENT: Student May Ball

VENUE: Cambridge

THE BRIEF: Provide a Stage Cover for a student ball inside one of Cambridge’s universities with short build and dismantle schedule. Situation was complicated with requirement to work alongside other contractors in relatively small site.

THE SOLUTION: After two site visits, it was decided to use an S5000 SaddleSpan Concert to allow a stage big enough for the acts booked.  Due to the small site, extra care and calculations were needed to be made to make sure the frame could be winched up.  To see an S5000 SaddleSpan being installed visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZy6hnL2pmo.

Cultural Event Attracts Over 100,000 Visitors

SECTOR: Corporate

EVENT: Cultural Festival

VENUE:  Potters Field Park, London

THE BRIEF: To create a striking and practical stage cover that will provide the central focus point to a cultural festival with the iconic Tower Bridge in the background.

THE SOLUTION: An S2000 SaddleSpan Concert was used with custom-made  ‘starburst’ banners printed with the logo.  The SaddleSpan was installed on a multi-level site, part-staked and part-ballasted.

The semi-tensile SaddleSpan stood up well to the October weather.    The diverse ‘Days of Ukraine’ showcased the country’s vibrant contemporary art, literature, music and fashion.
