FINISHING TOUCHES contents FIRSTLY THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING US! Once you have decided to host a tipi or sailcloth event, the fun can really start in tailoring your event space to your exact requirements. This brochure is designed to help you plan all the furnishings, interiors and extras to make your event spectacular. Our team are very well versed in what works in the different tents and can help and advise you whenever you need us. All these decisions can be made over time, so take your time and do not feel pressured into deciding. It is entirely normal for people to make changes to their booking as time passes. However, many items are unique or handmade, so we cannot always guarantee availability.

Dining Furniture rustic or elegant? dining furniture options The main choice here is whether to go rustic or elegant. The tables can be butted together to make long school hall style dining or into a square for more social sharing platter style dinners. Rustic or Elegant? chairs, benches or both? You can opt for our handmade wooden tables and benches (adding in or swapping for chairs as needed) or 4 Sheepskin rugs give an extra wow to the benches, and make them extra comfy during longer meals. 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK Our Sheepskin Rugs 5

bar options We have three types of hand crafted bars, made by our team s fair hands. We can supply them inside or outside the tents. A very versatile straight bar... nimbus & kung tents We have two types of smaller tipis which can be added to create an additional space for bands, bars, food service or just general shelter. The Nimbus canopy is an open mini tipi, 5.5 metres diameter which is perfect as a bandstand, food area or smoking area, the second is the larger Kung, which can be linked onto the main tipis or used separately for a chill out tent or bar area. The kung links on as an antiroom from the main tipis and transforms the main space. Our Nimbus Tipi Our latest addition, a robust, hand made copper bar and last but not least, a fully round bar. Perfect for around a sailcloth tent main pole, or right in the middle of a tipi! The bars come with internal shelves for storage and pumps, fridges and equipment can all be fitted around them perfectly. If your budget wont stretch to a bar, then a rustic table can also function very well for drinks service, as well as for gift tables, food service areas etc. don t let your guests go thirsty... Get in touch to find out more about our range of bar options and prices. Our Kung tents have also been used for communal sleeping areas, yoga retreats and beauty treatments as well as extensions to main party spaces. 8 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK 9

catering tents, joiners & wall extensions We can supply white and tan catering tents to fit with both sailcloth and tipi events. These come supplied with flooring, lighting and trestle tables for your caterers. Different sizes can be arranged dependant on your needs and we are happy to liaise directly with your caterers to ensure their needs are met. chill out zone Whether or not you have opted for a Nimbus or Kung (page 9), you can add beautiful warm vintage chill out furniture to your booking to create a space for guests to relax. Ideally situated near the bar, our packs include chesterfield sofas, handmade wooden sofas, arm chairs, coffee tables, box seats, rugs, occasional chairs and scatter cushions. A pack will provide relaxed seating for 18 people, but smaller or larger packs can be arranged. Our catering tents can also be used to house your bar, or as a lower budget chill out area, where space is tight. We can swap the strip lighting for festoon lighting to make it look beautifully inviting. In summer months we would set up the catering tent immediately next to the tipis or sailcloth tents, for easy access by service staff. For winter events we can also supply a catering tent joiner to attach the catering tent to the tipis without losing heat. The tipis can be extended using a wall extension system to create a recess for bars, bands, or just some extra dining space. We can also add wooden doors to this system for cosy winter events. 10 11 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK

get your dancing shoes on! We can supply Wooden Dance Floors with aluminium trim to create a dancing space within your tents. Bands and DJ s can set up alongside, or you can add a stage to create more of a spectacle 12 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK 13

fire pits Our tipis can have beautiful hand crafted fire pits inside to create a warm cosy atmosphere to your event space. Our fire pits come with smokeless logs, fire lighters and a fire extinguisher. In peak months, when its too hot to have them inside or for sailcloth tent events, the fire pits work equally well outside as iconic congregation spaces - just add your own hay bales and marshmallows for the complete wow factor! tent lighting Our tents are so striking you do not need much lighting to make a big impact! 14 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK 15

For the tipis, we recommend a chandelier over dining areas, and a mirror ball over the dance floor. The addition of fairy lights swathed down the main poles, or as a canopy adds real magic. festoon lights added around the rim of the tipis or in trees creates a beautiful effect outside the tents. You can add shepherd hooks with lanterns for a dramatic entrance. Fairy lights, festoons or up-lighters can also be used outside to light up trees, buildings, car parks and glamping areas etc. light up the dance f loor! with one of our stunning mirror balls for the perfect first dance.

In the sailcloth tents we love up-lighters on the main poles which throw light up into the canopy above, then swathes of festoons or fairy lights coming from the poles to the sides.

extras If you are having a vintage themed wedding then our Vintage Just Married Bicycle is a lovely finishing touch, which can be filled with fresh flowers, brollies or favours. create a striking focal point inside or out with our giant lit up letters spelling LOVE or DANCE Our cake tables are hand-crafted using a slice through a large tree trunk. They work beautifully in both tipis and sailcloth tents to showcase your cake, cheese or guest book! 20 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK 21

toilets, power & heating We have aged whiskey barrels which can be added as standing drinks tables, a guest book station or cake table We can arrange luxury toilets and power for your events from our trusted suppliers, coordinate delivery and collection, taking all the hassle out of the planning of these from you. Toilets will be the luxury trailer kind, which come with separate female and male entrances, hand washing area and cubicles, toiletries and toilet roll. Finish the vintage look by adding bunting up into your tipis or sailcloth tent. If you have a mains power supply nearby (within 20 metres), then we can hook up to this for all our lighting. Bands, discos and toilets do not usually require more than a household supply. However, if your caterers require a lot of electric or your tents will be far from a power supply we can arrange a generator, with full set up and enough fuel for your event. Use these wooden cable reels on their own for low tables surrounded by hay bales, or doubled up as high standing tables. event coordination & on site support Our helpful, professional and knowledgeable team can assist you leading up to, or on your event, helping you plan your day, greet guests and suppliers. We can also arrange for one of our crew to be onsite to light and maintain fire pits and be a general practical contact throughout your event. Please speak to us for details and pricing of both these options. 22 01206 298074 INFO@EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK WWW.EVENTSUNDERCANVAS.CO.UK 23
