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.

Collaborate, Connect and Confer under a SaddleSpan

Thursday 04 July 2013 by Amazing News Editor

To create an effective, impactful conference – you need to think outside the box – provide conference goers with an environment in which they can create ideas, collaborate and be inspired.

Can you achieve this kind of effect in an ordinary conference venue? We don’t think so – to open the door to strategies that will engage members that go way beyond the event itself, create an inspirational conference venue that is unique and motivating by providing a SaddleSpan configuration to stimulate and excite.

With a SaddleSpan you can use the entire roof to project the company logo onto the semi-tensile fabric, instead of using bog standard screens.

Instead of a stage with rows of seating in front of the stage – why not have the stage right in the middle of the venue and arrange the seating so that it goes all the way around the stage.

Don’t send off groups to different rooms, create break-out zones within the structure so that the conference goers aren’t entirely separated but can still connect and bounce ideas off one another.

Create an arresting exhibit as a focal point and to give delegates something to start a conversation with, encouraging them to collaborate, connect and confer.

If you would like some inspiration whilst dreaming up your next conference venue or would like to find out more about the types of structure we can provide, then do not hesitate to get in touch and chat to us about your plans.

Bringing the Bar and Stage Together

Tuesday 25 June 2013 by Amazing News Editor

A major element of being at a festival and enjoying the live music is the mad dash from bar to stage and back again. Many people find this a constant chagrin, so why not make things simpler for your festival goers and have the bar as the stage and the stage as the bar – all under one, beautifully structured, roof?

Providing stage covers and bar covers is what we do and our smaller SaddleSpans can comfortably accommodate up to 300-400 people undercover with a 16m bar area to boot.

These structures are semi-tensile which means minimum flap, little noise – just clean and curvaceous lines, drawing in festival goers and giving them everything they could dream of all under one cover.

Simple lighting, decorative touches and you can create the most wonderful and exciting ambience.

For more information on how to create a bar and stage together or for any other inspiring ideas for your event – don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

Open Air Screening Event

Thursday 20 June 2013 by Amazing News Editor

Create a stunning corporate event with a real difference and give your clients an unmissable night.

An open air screening is the ultimate in outdoor events and on a balmy summer evening, enthralled in a classic or a cult film, glass of wine in hand – what could possibly be better?

But, what if it rains? Simple, cover your audience with an S5000 SaddleSpan – this marquee is perfect because of its lack of central poles and the 7m high apex clears the screen yet contains the magical atmosphere.

This is a unique experience and one everyone should have a taste of, an evening that is a world away from a faceless multi-screen with sticky carpets and eau du popcorn.

An alfresco movie night, tucked under the SaddleSpan and enthralled by the screen, this is an evening your clients will not forget in a hurry.

For more information about the S5000 SaddleSpan or if you want some inspiring ideas for your next corporate event – do not hesitate to contact us.

Multi-Zone Conference Marquee

Thursday 06 June 2013 by Amazing News Editor

For flexibility and originality consider the S5000 TriSpan multi-zone conference marquee.

What is a S5000 TriSpan?

An S5000 TriSpan is three SaddleSpans build in a clover-leaf formation. This arrangement gives three areas connected by a central stage or focus point.

Why have a multi-zone conference marquee?

For conferences with a large number of delegates (the TriSpan can seat over 1800) it is often impossible to engage all the delegates – especially the ones in the back – but with a TriSpan configuration you can have three smaller areas all focussing on the same point or you can set up three different zones, each having different uses such as a conference area, breakout zone and refreshment area.

What does an S5000 TriSpan look like?

Take a look at this aerial image (click for larger image) and imagine what you can do with this space…

Contact us now if you would like more information on how a multi-zone conference marquee can work for you and your delegates.
