We have been imagining great and grandiose spaces; resplendent in form and transformative of space and light. The event tents, festival structures and tensile spaces that we have created this season are manifestations of this vision. White, sculpted canvas tents with subtle shape and form, colourful canvas big tops with arches and frills galore. We want to up-the-ante on the event tent front and offer these new structures to transform events in 2016 and beyond. And there's more...
Twin Pole Blue and Yellow, serge Ferrari PVC Big Top - Another new circus style Big Top now available for hire from Smiddereens. The venue space created by this festive Big Top has an area of 655m2. The colours are gorgeous - buttercup yellow and vibrant blue. The side-walls are 3 metres high with the king poles at 10 metres, it can take substantial rigging. Another iconic and eye-catching festive Big Top out of our workshop, ready to adorn and house events this summer.
The blue and white canvas Little Tops aka baby Big Tops are here. With 3 configurations: single pole double pole and tripe pole- they are versatile, elegant and very atmospheric. Particularly good for day time events, weddings, feasts and general partying. These little circus style tents can be installed as matching pairs: 2x twin poles, 2x singles or 1x triple and a single pole too. The light quality makes them great daytime, temporary venues, with air passing through the canvas walls and top, not only will they keep dry and light, they are airy and breathable structures.
With the festival feel, the circus influence and a graceful venue flushed with light in mind, we have designed a new Little Top- a new baby Big Top for hire in 2014. Working in canvas, we are in the process of constructing a new festival tent to add to our repetoire. In a very beautiful shade of vintage French blue, sweeping bands of colour break up the bellowing oatmeal Top of this versatile venue tent. Light passes through this temporary structure, bouncing off the interior, resplendent with these ribbons of gorgeous blue.
Our Blue & Yellow striped Big Top now has its mid section and is available for hire as a twin pole Big Top with an increased capacity of 1300. The sweeping external stripes make this a really eye catching festival tent. Although very much in the vein of a traditional circus Big Top, it does look contemporary due to its subtly sculpted nature. The interior of this show tent is a constant electric blue, made of Serge Ferrai 702, the colours are vibrant and the material, as well as being ecological in it's fabrication, is incredibly strong.
Colourful, Traditional Marquees, Big Tops, Little Tops and tensile structures are what we do. Traditional marquees, unlike frame tents, incorporate the canvas cover as part of the strength of their structure -hence, they are considered tensile structures. With the appropriate fixing they can withstand fairly ferocious winds, as time can attest. The tradition of using poles, ropes and canvas to create outdoor circus, festival, fair and wedding venues, has not been superseded.
You may have seen our colourful circus style tents providing ambient shelter in the kidzfield at Glastonbury, our brightly coloured Little Top decorating the skyline at Starry Skies in Hereford or our serene natural canvas marquee on the Top of a Ceredigion hillside accommodating the revellers at MagiKana. If you want more information about our circus tents, Big Tops and marquees, drop us a line, we are happy to answer queries.
We are based in Ceredigion, Wales and love to brighten up the local landscape with our striking structures. Our beautiful marquees and big tops look glorious against the green hues of Wales but we also travel throughout the UK and beyond. Whether you're planning a wedding, a festival, a party or a fair we are sure to have the structure to meet your needs and budget.
