February cold snap – no match for our 4-Y SaddleSpan tent

Tuesday 06 March 2012 by Amazing News Editor

February was a busy month for The Amazing Tent Company, not put off by the rain, wind and snow it had to offer, our latest challenge was to provide hospitality covering for a large pharmaceutical employee convention, using our 4-Y temporary SaddleSpan structure.

The breath-taking Bluestone Resort in the heart of Pembrokeshire, South Wales was our setting and stunning views surrounded the 500-acre grounds.

Unfortunately there was no time for us to take in the views, make use of the spa or restaurants as we had a job to do and despite the weather not being on our side, it was a job that went without a hitch. As well as providing the 4-Y hospitality SaddleSpan structure and flooring, The Amazing Tent Company were on hand to provide full site management services leading up to the event, and 24 hour stand-by crew throughout the duration of the project.

The day, put on by a leading event production company on behalf of one of the UKs major pharmaceutical companies, was a huge success and The Amazing Tent Company are proud to have played such a big role in the success of project, delivering on time and to budget.

These fabulous photos were taken from the air by Joe Simpson, they give a great impression of the sheer scale of the event and the scope of our tentage!

Partying Amazing Tent style at London Fashion Week

Thursday 01 March 2012 by Amazing News Editor

Last week the Amazing Tent team headed to the big smoke for the glitz and glam of London fashion week. The Amazing Tent Company provided the outdoor covering when underwear brand Bjorn Borg took over Battersea Power Station and gave it a Swedish make over, for the launch of its glow in the dark underwear range.

Our S5 SaddleSpan provided much-welcomed weather proofing on a windy February evening for the glamorous partygoers, which included celebrities such as Pixie Geldof, Caroline Flack and Kimberly Wyatt to name a few – not that we like to name drop!

A 25×50 metre ‘spray screen’ played host to a Paris Kain fashion film, which was fantastically projected over the River Thames.

We did a quick video, just on the digital camera, it gives an idea of how the spray screen technology works but you really need to be there to get the full effects of the spectacle though. We managed to get our SaddleSpan in there too to show how it integrated with the event. See video below

The Amazing Tent Company carry out installations on both grass and hard standing – this particular structure was held on a “brown field” site and at a historical location too, so extra precautions were taken to ensure underground services were safe using scanning equipment.

It was a great event, it’s just a shame we didn’t get to try any of the Swedish sushi!

World Curry Festival – AMAZING!

Thursday 26 May 2011 by Amazing News Editor

In a unique partnership, Amazing Tent joined forces with festival organisers to supply a TriSpan arena in the heart of Leeds for the first World Curry Festival.

In October 2010 with bad weather inevitable, the structure was fully enclosed to provide maximum protection from the elements. The installation was logistically complex, with a hard-standing site in the centre of the city, so precision planning and prior preparation was an essential part of Amazing’s service.  Through a process of consultation with both organisers and the Council, the TriSpan was anchored using over 60 tonnes of ballast; nonetheless the installation of the structure was still completed within 2 days.

Inside, the structure was divided into three ‘zones’ – a chef demonstration area, a caberet stage and market place souk, providing visitors with enterntainment and retial therapy alongside the delights of eating curry!

With the festival being deemed by the press as an out-and-out success, Amazing will once again join forces with the organisers in 2011 to bring you the second World Curry Festival, this year in the home of British Curry, Bradford. Preliminary plans are underway to provide the TriSpan in the city centre’s Centenary Square with several new aspects being added to the Festival such as comedy, literature and music.

“I would like to personally thank you for all your efforts and hard work in making the first World Curry Festival a success. It was a wonderful experience which I hope to repeat again… thank you for supporting the festival this year and I hope you will continue next year” Zulfi Karim, Director
