Five Reasons to Use a Marquee For Your Exhibition

Tuesday 27 August 2013 by Amazing News Editor

Exhibitions should be impactful, they should be exciting, they should offer your users, clients and customers an environment which is striking and inspiring. To create this atmosphere for your event we have devised five reasons why you should use a marquee for your exhibition.

1.  A SaddleSpan marquee is high, it is spacious and curvaceous and because it is a blank canvas it is incredibly easy to brand any which way you would like. You can apply your own colours, themes, decorations and furniture to establish the perfect environment. The opaque fabric can even be used as a cinema screen.

2. The SaddleSpan has no poles supporting the structure so there is nothing to distract the eye from the products, displays and overall exhibition.

3. If the weather is unpredictable you can guarantee that your guests and show can go ahead whether it is raining, snowing or hailing. You can combine and use the outside and inside together to create an unique exhibition.

4. If your venue cannot accommodate the number of guests you expect then a marquee will. A simple extension can create the extra space you need.

5. If you want somewhere really special to exhibit in try out our SaddleSpans they are ideal for trade shows, car shows, trade stands and shell schemes.

Get in touch with our dedicated team to find out how we can make your exhibition striking and powerful.

Amazing Festivals

Tuesday 20 August 2013 by Amazing News Editor

Festival season is well and truly under way, in fact, it is almost coming to a close. The UK is famed for its music festivals, which these days appear take place almost every weekend during the months of June, July and August.

Of course the most internationally known is Glastonbury but many, many others are becoming as important and essential dates in the British Festival calendar in their own right.

Here at the Amazing Tent Company we have worked with many production managers and festival directors to help them put together venues and stages which will wow and which can accommodate thousands of people in unusual locations, whatever the weather.

We provide stages, VIP areas and bars and all sorts of configurations using our SaddleSpan marquees depending on space required and ground conditions or we can connect the units together using sidewalls – it is entirely up to you.

One festival director, Mark Harrison, wrote to us after his event and said: “We are writing to thank you for pulling out all the stops to work on the event. Given the timescale and logistical access ‘challenges’ we faced with the venue, it was a joy to work with you to ensure that a superb event was delivered…Thank you…and we hope to be able to work with you again in the not too distant future.”

We are experts in the festival industry and will accommodate your event whatever the circumstances – just give us a call and let us know what you need – our expert advice will ensure your festival rocks.

Stage Cover at CBBC Live in Leeds

Thursday 01 August 2013 by Amazing News Editor

 

To kick off the kid’s summer holidays, CBBC headed up to Leeds for 3 days to meet some fans and broadcast their shows in front of a live audience. It was a jam-packed weekend of activities, workshops and all the kids’ favourite stars.

When ACP Productions approached Amazing Tent for a stage cover, we couldn’t wait to get involved. Our spectacular S5000 provided a fantastic eye-catching venue that would be suitable for the fun and games planned for the free event. It looked great in Millennium Square in Leed’s town centre and the open front encouraged hundreds of kids to come and find out what was going on and get involved in the event.

You can watch a video of the event, starring our lovely SaddleSpan here.

Add the Wow Factor to Your Exhibition

Tuesday 30 July 2013 by Amazing News Editor

Are you planning an exhibition that will blow people away? You have put hours of work into collating or creating the content for your exhibition, to make sure it informs, entertains or excites, but have you thought about the venue yet?

An amazing venue can draw people into your exhibition and provide the perfect backdrop for the things on show. Our SaddleSpans provide dramatic silhouettes that are bound to catch your audience’s eye and make them wonder what lies inside… and once people enter you can create whatever kind of atmosphere you like.

This summer we worked with Adidas to provide the venue for a museum where football fans could experience all the memories of past tournaments, including videos and memorabilia. The tent looked stunning and saw thousands of people passing through, enjoying the exhibition.

Our SaddleSpans can be arranged to suit your needs, from an intimate and cosy S1000 TriSpan to an expansive S5000 TriSpan, whichever arrangement you go for can be decorated to suit your theme or left as it is to provide a simple and beautiful setting for your exhibition pieces.

Amazingly Energetic Lucozade Festival Stage

Tuesday 23 July 2013 by Amazing News Editor

The Lucozade YES Arena will be raising the energy levels at festivals throughout the summer. And we’re proud to be supplying an S5000 Concert for their pumping stage at T in the Park and V Festival.

After last year’s success of a silent disco in a SaddleSpan, they expanded their offerings with a roller disco in the day, a silent disco at night and a Lucozade delivery to your tent the following morning to re-energise you for another day of partying. The venue for T in the Park looked spectacular and it was great to see our S5000 put through its paces with some all day and all night partying in the beautiful weather.

Lucozade will be showing off their brand with our S5000 again on 17th and 18th August at V Festival… we can’t wait!

If you are creating a branded stage for an event and want an amazing venue for it, get in touch with the Amazing Tent Company.

Gok strips in Our SaddleSpan!

Thursday 18 July 2013 by Amazing News Editor

We are celebrities! Well, sort of – we were on TV – well, our SaddleSpan was!

Yes, we told you a few weeks ago about Gok Wan, the TV fashion celebrity, who recently hosted his live TV show from our very own SaddleSpan and today we can blog about what a huge success it was.

You can see from the image how many people came to the Channel 4 show, which was called: Gok Live: Stripping For Summer – if you missed watching our SaddleSpan in action – click on this link.

Set up in Salford Quays, Manchester, the live TV show, was hosted directly from the SaddleSpan and was styled like a beach, with beach huts, a wide screen TV, a cat walk, lights, plants and plenty more to create a stunning back drop for this nationwide TV programme.

Behind the main stage we created an area where Gok’s fashion squad were housed, with plenty of space for wardrobes, make over areas with hairdressing, models and stylists all on hand to help during the show.

If you are planning a live TV show, a conference or an outside event then never hesitate to contact The Amazing Tent Company to get tips, advice and help to make your event unforgettable.
