Just when you think things are about as tough as they can get in the hospitality sector, we’re hit by a cost-of-living crisis and a big freeze to make matters worse… And to add insult to injury, you have to stand aside shivering despite being dressed for an Antarctic expedition and watch Britain’s young party people cheerfully queuing outside other people’s pubs, clubs, and venues with nothing more than shirts and short skirts to protect them against the elements!
What’s really amazing is the realisation that in the middle of Winter they’re not lining up to get into the warm. Oh, no – they’re staying ‘outside’ into the small hours in one of the fast-growing number of venues keeping the party going all-year-round simply by creating a stylishly covered, atmospheric ‘outdoor space’ that feels like it’s indoors with a stretch tent bar or by covering a yard, patio, or beer garden.
Maybe you grudgingly admire those hardy party people, wishing they were spending their money at your establishment… “It’s all right for these pubs with huge gardens,” you might mutter to yourself. “But we’ve only got our weird-shaped little patio and yard with no room for a great big tent thing…”
Well, we’ve got some heart-warming news for you! The great thing about stretch tents is that, unlike old-fashioned marquees, they’re incredibly versatile and very, well… stretchy! We can fit a stretch tent into the tightest, most awkwardly-shaped areas, embracing or side-stepping obstacles and taking steps and slopes in their stride to create an exciting all-year-round space your customers will love. And not just those hardy young party people. We’re talking comfort for people of any age – because a stretch tent bar doesn’t just look cool – it’s really cosy too. And it feels almost like being inside – even in a British winter!
Our stretch tent hire packages, for instance, are all made of incredibly strong material that’s completely waterproof – and you can keep out the wind simply by drawing the canopy down. Add skirts, doorways and side panels, and they’ll protect your customers from anything the weather can throw at them. And it’s not just dancing that’s keeping those scantily clad kids warm… We think you’ll be amazed how effectively you can heat a stretch tent bar, dance floor, live music venue or even an alfresco dining area. Diesel-powered induction heaters, for example, can be set up outside the stretch tent, streaming warm air up through ducts at the bottom so that the heat rises to fill the space.
Take a look online, and you’ll see that the stretch tent bar isn’t just a fad. It’s an idea whose time has come and is here to stay. In fact, some major hospitality chains already proudly list their pubs and restaurants with stretch tents as winter pub garden essentials!
