If you went down to Swanage last week you were sure to find a BIG surprise!
We had installed both our 9m marquees and 12m marquee for the 21st Swanage Jazz Festival which is held in several venues in the town as well as three temporary “superior” venues supplied by us.
Our marquees provided a venue for over 800 seated guests to enjoy all the different types of Jazz from New Orleans, Dixieland, swing, bop, and post bop, ‘contemporary’ and bands that simply defy classification.
The festival is a non profit making organisation run by a group of fans. Lots more information can be found at www.swanagejazz.org.uk
Other equipment supplied were changing room and ticket office marquees and Trestle Tables.

Hello Friends,
Heard the latest?
At Holton Lee, near Wareham this week saw the Connect 2010, a five-day teaching and worship event where hundreds of people of all ages can connect and grow together in Word and Spirit.
But shortly before a team of 6 Elegance boys invaded the site to install the two main marquees, one being 150 feet long. This involved more than 10 tonnes of equipment being delivered and erected, and over 600, yes, 600 folding chairs for worshipers to sit on. We also installed blackout linings, a huge 35 sq metre litedeck stage, plasma screens, lighting, cabling and laid over 5o rolls of polypropylene matting.

It’s here again!
Christchurch Festival 2010 took place on the quay as usual with bands who do not get paid to play like “Next Big Thing”, “Skint” and “Lady Winwoods Maggot”.
There is lots of stalls, food outlets, rides and of course a big bar on hand to keep guests satisfied.
Now in its 16th year, this well loved festival gives pleasure to so many people and all monies raised goes to the mayors charities.
We assisted them by providing a whopping marquee to have cover for up to 700 guests watching the bands perform!

On a hot day in Buckhorn Western near Gillingham, we installed our 12m range marquee complete with a 6m extension to accommodate bar facilities for the local cricket club annual ball.
Of course, we also installed our innovative flooring system for the whole marquee, that’s over 240 boards to lay and 8 tonnes of equipment to install – all in one day! – once again a great job done by the Elegance boys.
We also installed our litedeck staging system, basic chandelier lighting and 200 anthrasite folding chairs.
The cricket club was founded in 1997 and if you are interested in playing then visit www.b-wcc.co.uk

We were pleased to assist Tim, a trader which attended this year’s Tank Fest at the Tank Museum in Bovington near Bere Regis, Dorset.
We installed our 6m range of marquee with some trestle tables.
An annual event in The Tank Museum’s calendar and the largest Armed Forces Day event in the region, this year’s Tankfest is gearing up to be the biggest yet with the Army’s contribution expected to attract in excess of last year’s 10,000 visitors.
In addition to a full programme of live tank action displays will be all the familiar highlights of Tankfest that have made it such a popular family event including living history camps, costumed re-enactors, the chance to meet serving soldiers plus a host of other activities and entertainment.

We were very pleased to be able to assist Jemma and her team with providing a temporary venue for the Kingston Maurward annual country fair / open day, near Dorchester.
We installed 11 seperate structures around the site for the various departments to give advice for those looking to start a new career or just learn a new skill. Our 9m and 6m range of marquees were perfectly suited to this task.
The college is home to some 400 students and offers over 300 full time and part time courses. Well known for its rural and land based subjects, there are courses for everyone including outdoor adventure, equine, IT and business related studies. Those interested in the college visit www.kmc.ac.uk
We also installed our hardwood flooring system in one of the marquees for a cookery demonstration and provided trestle tables, matting and folding chairs as well.

When LUSH, the global successful cosmetic company that are based in Poole gave us a call requiring marquees for two separate events at their head offices, we leapt at the opportunity to demonstrate our “superior venues”.
