These are very common words for the people who organised the Poole Beer Festival on behalf of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ales). Tickets for the two day event held at St Aldhelms Church in Branksome near Bournemouth went fast as this ever popular event drew near.

The festival showcased over 85 real ales and had entertainment from such likes as Lady Winwood’s Maggot.

We hired a 9m marquee to accomodate up to 250 of the thirsty real ale fans coming to the festival, along with matting, lighting trestle tables and lots and lots of chairs. Most importantly, as the event was over a weekend in late October we hired a large thermostat controlled heating system to keep everyone nice and cosy!

As there is lots of frost on the ground we installed our innovative hardwood flooring along with ivory roof and wall linings with vivid purple overlays and valances. Most importantly, we also installed two heaters with thermostat controllers to keep guests nice and cosy. Other equipment ordered, bar counters, coat rails, anthracite folding chairs, 6ft round tables, litedeck staging and cream candelabras.

After the installation was completed, the client requested a reception canopy at the entrance to the marquee, we of course were happy to oblige and installed this a few days later

Imagine, your wedding day is tomorrow and the weather turns chilly and your guests are coming to your tent. That’s the dilemma Gemma and Dan had last Friday when they gave us a call.

The challagne was on! Even though they needed are Indirect Thermostat Controlled Heaters the next day, we were able to assist. The photo shows the unit providing hot warm air through the ducting into their tent. (Not supplied by us :0( )

The location was Sheldon Manor near Chippenham, Wiltshire. Yes it’s not only Dorset – now we have a growing list of Elegance friends in Wiltshire! The tranquility of Sheldon Manor makes it a perfect setting for small weddings or other special occassions.
