Beyond the Beats: The Amazing Tent Co’s Summer of 2023

Monday 04 September 2023 by Amazing News Editor

As the vibrant days of summer start to fade, we are reflecting on Summer 2023. It has been a whirlwind of extraordinary festivals, concerts, and events for us at The Amazing Tent Co. We have been at the heart of many exciting experiences with our SaddleSpans, transforming the humble field into a realm of creativity, comfort, and exclusivity. Within the kaleidoscope of summer, our versatile SaddleSpan structures have become part of the landscape of festivals, concerts, and outdoor extravaganzas.  

In what has been a summer of mixed British weather, amidst the sea of glitter, elaborate costumed festival-goers, and thumping beats, our SaddleSpans have provided a haven of continuity, ensuring that the show goes on regardless of the elements. Whilst sometimes associated with more utilitarian purposes, SaddleSpans metamorphosise of the event tent – housing everything from sprawling stages to cosy bar areas and exclusive VIP zones. 

Our summer journey helped to provide festival shelter and comfort, with spaces to rest, connect, and rejuvenate. From the sun-drenched shores of Cornwall’s Boardmasters, to the star-studded BBC Radio One Big Weekend. We ventured further north to the dual engines of Leeds & Reading Festivals where bands and fans created unmatched festival experiences. The Big Feastival offered a different kind of event—one of flavours and aromas merging from food stalls to open-air stages. Creamfields North & South, was an immersion into the electronic realm, of pulsating beats and dazzling lights.  

The intricate planning, collaboration, and dedication that goes on behind the scenes ensures that The Amazing Tent Co’s SaddleSpans enhance the festival experience – uniting style, innovation, and functionality as extensions of the festival spirit— as places to take cover, mingle, and connect, immersed in the magic of music and community. 

So, here’s to next year’s mud-splattered wellies or sun-kissed skin festival and event season. However next summer unfolds, now is the time to contact us to discuss how we can support you to create an unforgettable 2024 festival experience. +44 (0)7778 835 207 / enquiries@amazingtent.co.uk

Tuesday 06 June 2023 by Amazing News Editor

What is that big yellow shining sphere in the sky?!  It seems we might have a summer of better weather ahead, which has us contemplating what’s coming up for us over the next few months. Some of our old favourites are back, with a few new events thrown into the mix. Here’s where you can spot us in the fields of England over the summer – you might even be able to bag yourselves some tickets for some of these if you are quick. 

We’ve already had some fun in the sun recently, you may have spotted our majestic SaddleSpans at Creamfields South and BBC Big Weekend in Dundee? Coming up in June we have the Birmingham Guild of Students Ball and we’ll be amongst the regal racing action at Royal Ascot later in the month.

A look back at our Summer of Saddlespans

Wednesday 07 September 2022 by Amazing News Editor

In May our Saddlespans were at VET Fest, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Coventry, and Creamfields South. Sheena Jones, Head of Operations at Creamfields tooted our flute saying: “We love the style of the Saddlespans from Amazing Tents – they’re an iconic part of the Creamfields festival landscape.” Well, thank you Sheena. You’ve made us blush! 

We went onwards into June at Loungefest, followed by “the most rambunctious garden fête” at The Great Estate Festival in Cornwall. July saw us on site with the exclusive Soho House Festival and then we were part of the very last Cornbury Festival. August was our busiest month: we spent some time by the sea at Boardmasters Festival, and then to the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside with Big Feastival. And we have recently come off-site from both Hide & Seek and the Reading and Leeds Festivals. Phew! 

We also have the Jockey Club Blenheim Horse Trials in Oxford coming up later in September. However, we’re not completely wrapped up for the year, as we do of course supply events over the autumn and winter with our heated Saddlespans providing lots of warmth.  

We’ve enjoyed looking back over this year’s sites, festivals, and events. If you are a festival producer or events professional planning your alfresco summer 2023 shindigs, bear in mind Sheena’s kind words and get in touch with us so we can help you to make your event Saddlespan smart! +44 (0)7778 835 207  / enquiries@amazingtent.co.uk
