SOLD OUT !
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 the title suggests we were called yesterday by Kalem requesting a marquee to be used as an extension to their house in Gosport, Hampshire for their Indian wedding celebrations this weekend after being let down by a less reliable company :@)
We jumped into action and within hours we emailed an order and received payment promptly afterwards. This enabled us to hire a 6m marquee with hardwood flooring, some scattered trestle tables and folding anthracite chairs plus a black candelabra the next morning.
The Elegance boys also wanted me to note that they appreciated the samosa’s and drinks!

Unlike the title suggests, this is not a glorious camping holiday for geese!
It was in fact a massive gathering of scouts, cubs and beavers for a once in four year event that is organised by Dorset Scouts. The venue was their very own camping site ‘Buddens’ which is based just outside Wareham in Dorset.
The event which lasted five days atracted over 17,000 guests! who enjoyed activities like archery, water slides, tunnelling, raft-building and zip-wiring.
The aim of Goose, which stands for Great Outdoor Opportunities for Scouting Experience but is also named after the flock of geese living on-site, is to give Dorset’s Scouting community the chance to make new friends, have fun, learn skills and experience activities that they might miss out on in everyday life.
So how did we assist this event? – Well we provided over 15,000 square feet of covered areas for the different activities which consisted of mostly our 9m and 12m range of marquees. In addition, we installed a food hall of 5,600 square feet, this had the capacity to accommodate a whopping 900 guests! Trestle Tables, Folding Chairs and Lighting were amongst other items hired.

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.

We had a call from Dennis, who’s father Percy, had just passed away. He wanted a superior venue for freinds and relatives to pay their respects in.
We provided a 6m Marquee complete with panoramic windows, trestle tables and table linen.
We installed the marquee close to his assisted flat near Christchurch, Dorset.

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.

We were very pleased to be able once again, to assist Nigel with installing various marquees for the Bournemouth & Poole Steam Show at Canford Arena near Wimborne.
We installed a 9m wide marquee for the main bar with an outside seating area. 3m wide marquees for Entrance / Security / First Aid and a 12m wide marquee where over 60 exhibitors displayed their crafts and models.
We also supplied trestle tables and folding chairs to be used all around the site.
The show, which featured the No limitz motorcycle display team, steam displays, classic vehicles and lots more, was organised by the Bournemouth & Poole Club which started in 1979. For more information about the club, look here http://www.bppcltd.co.uk/

We have been very secretive this week,
We were tasked to attach one of our 9m marquees alongside a prestigious car dealership in Poole. The occasion was the product launch of the new Audi A8 at Poole Audi.
The marquee was used to hide the cars before they were driven through black curtains and dry ice into the dealership where invited guests were waiting on our limewash chavari banqueting chairs.
We also provided trestle tables and associated linen and installed a full blackout lining so noone could get a sneak preview.
The challange with this event was to erect the marquee without using stakes. Whilst we would normally use our hardwood flooring system to overcome this problem it was not practical and so ballast tanks were used to ratchet the marquee in situ.

Our friends Stacey and Peter tied the knot this weekend when they got married at Canford Parish Church.
They choose to have their reception at the Horton & Chalbury Village Hall near Horton, Wimborne, Dorset. The stunning barn-style building is now available for hire after just being completed. The large oak floored main hall is around 1,400 sq ft, the Scutt room around 450 sq ft and the kitchen is fully fitted with semi-commercial equipment. For more information on hiring phone 01258 841251.
As the hall only had basic chairs and trestle tables, the Bride and Groom asked us to transform the hall to become more in keeping for a wedding reception. To achieve this we installed our limewash chavari banqueting chairs with round tables covered with our white cotton tablecloths and gold overlays. We also helped with providing glassware and mood LED lighting.
