Dare I say the ‘C’ word? It’s creeping upon us and for the world of stretch tents, this time of year it’s becoming increasingly popular.
Christmas, can you believe Christmas 2023 is nearly upon us?!
With festivities and parties being booked and planned the demand for space increases. Outside the summer months the Christmas period is a key time for pubs and restaurants.
With many getting creative to entice more bums on seats to enjoy some ‘festive fun’ to increase that revenue.
Stretch tents are becoming a much more sort after marquee than your more traditional white box structure.
A stretch tent is so versatile and after some of the biggest issues pubs and restaurants face being space, size and shape, using a stretch tent marquee gives much more opportunity as it creates a solution.
Stretch tents have the luxury of being able to be fixed with pegs, weighted ballast or to buildings for longer term temporary structure solution.
With so many sizes to chose from it gives you that party tent, garden marquee or just an event tent to suit.
Are they waterproof?
Stretch tents are waterproof, have no fear, a question we get asked often. Without boring you with all of the technical details, the stretch tent has a waterproofing and repellent layer that prevents event the longest and harshest rain from it getting it wet.
Giving you choices
Appreciating the winter months aren’t always so kind to us, the option of adding walling, in various forms, creates that roomier feel and expands the feel of it just being an outside cover. The options of bespoke made timber window walls to keep the elements out or fabric walls to stop that wind from blowing through are a couple of options made to suit.
With added lights inside the tent or a perimeter wrap of fairy lights or festoon transforms the space again giving it that festive Christmas feel.
Opting for a standalone stretch tent canopy, which in themselves creates great atmosphere, installing additional heaters can help keep customers warm and comfortable during chilly winter nights. There are different types of heaters available in the market, such as propane, natural gas, and electric heaters, that can be used depending on the available space and budget.
Theming your space gives it the added appeal and these days makes it more ‘Instagram worthy’ and what does that mean FREE MARKETING. With the comfortable seating, cushions, blankets creating the cosy feel people will be back for me on a winters evening.
Use winter-themed decorations alongside the lights in the tent, fairy or festoon, garlands, and snowflakes create that festive atmosphere. These elements can help create an inviting space that stands out and attracts customers.
You can’t forget the winter drinks and seasonal menu items can be the perfect way to attract customers and keep them coming back. Warm drinks like hot chocolate, mulled wine, and cider can be perfect for the winter season.
By incorporating these ideas, bars and restaurants can create a welcoming outdoor space in the winter months that customers will love and enjoy.
