Saturday, May 7th, 2011Frosty Marquee Hire @ Holton Lee
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010Wow what cold hands we had this morning when the Elegance boys and I went to dismantle our marquee at Holton Lee near Wareham, Dorset.
The marquee was hired for a joint 30th birthday party over the weekend.
As there was lots of frost on the ground and areas of mud the client wisely choose to have the hardwood flooring system in their 9m marquee which had the capacity to accommodate their 150 guests.
Even the smokers at the party felt special by having their own reception canopy area where they could puff away.
We also provided furniture for the party and lighting to illuminate the tent in these lovely dark winter days.
Goose Camp 2010
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Unlike 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.
Its all about connections..

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.
I’ll drink to this!
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Its full steam ahead for the Swanage Railway’s beer festival this weekend.
