The trouble with Christmas these days is that it tends to begin sometime late in October, when the first of the shops start decking the aisles with Christmas cards and fairy lights… And you just can’t help looking forward to the festive season to come… And then suddenly, at the end of December, it’s been and gone in a flash. So it’s no wonder that for many of us the cold and dreary days of January come as a major anti-climax – or that this is the time when our thoughts turn to planning more fun for the year to come. And whether you’re thinking of one-off special events or ongoing ones; for business, for pleasure or a bit of both, there’s almost no end to the ways in which our stretch tents for hire can turn your event or activity into a real occasion.
Hence, our headline ‘Stretch tents for hire aren’t just for Christmas and birthdays’. Of course, those elegant, almost fluid undulations are always a sight for sore eyes – and they make a truly fabulous setting for every kind of celebration, from wedding and anniversary parties to birthday bashes, club and society socials, corporate launches, charity functions and so much more. They don’t just look amazing – they’re far more welcoming and comfortable than traditional marquees. The Bedouin-style open sides allow for the free and easy flow of air and of people too – and when the weather’s not so clement, you can simply draw down the edges to keep the wind and rain at bay. Better still, with the addition of doors, side panels and even heating, stretch tents for hire can keep people cosy in the very worst of British weather!
But they’re not just the 21st century equivalent to the old-school marquee: they’re much, much more. Countless catering and hospitality businesses use them to turn outdoor areas that are ‘dead space’ in the winter months into vibrant, semi-permanent extensions to their indoor dining, dancing, live performance, and even conferencing areas. Schools and sports clubs use them as additional sports pavilions, dining halls and even classroom spaces – and local authorities, schools, and colleges and even private homes often use them as cover for outdoor swimming pools. That’s an increasingly popular application as more and more people are discovering the icy joys of cold-water swimming!
They really are transformational. With a bit of imagination and a dash of design flair (which we’re always happy to provide), stretch tents can turn a flat office, hotel, or pub rooftop into a vibrant ‘place to be’. They can serve as a semi-permanent ‘extension’ to your home instead of a summerhouse or a conservatory – indeed, you could even use one to house a tennis or badminton court or even a croquet lawn!
In fact, it’s hard to think of anywhere you couldn’t use a stretch tent because they’re so… well, stretchy! They flow easily and seamlessly into the most awkward of spaces. They swerve round curves and corners, taking steps and terraces in their stride, so any garden, lawn, patio, or even driveway can be a suitable site. And you can even daisy-chain them to cover enormous spaces for a full-on festival or even a street party.
Have a think about how you could use stretch tents for hire in the year to come. We can assure you that no matter how challenging your ideas, we’ll find a way to make them work.
