The complete guide to temporary event structures in the UK
When you're planning an event, choosing the perfect venue is always a pivotal decision - and temporary event structures open up a vast range of possibilities.
Trusted for events, big and small
Choosing the best temporary event structure
Choosing an event structure is an integral part of the planning process and with so many options, it can be difficult to know where to start. Our wide range of temporary structures gives you complete flexibility, but what is the best type of structure that will meet your vision, budget and brief?
High capacity structures with complete flexibility
Our giant structures are ideal for large festivals and shows. They are customisable in 30m, 40m and 50m spans, and a wide range of length options to suit the size and scale of your event. This helps you accommodate large crowd volumes. In addition, our giant structures provide zoning flexibility, meaning they can be configured as one open space, for a stage or exhibition hall or partitioned to create walkways, entertainment areas and back-of-house areas such as changing rooms that are often required at shows and festivals.
They are suitable for all seasons with the option to add an integrated gutter system to the structure. Finally, optional integral flooring can be added for production, and vendor operations in one contiguous venue footprint. You might also want to consider our range of festival marquees which includes traditional and clearspan structures, great for temporary festival infrastructure.
Premium, elevated and luxury structures
If you want a standout hospitality structure, look no further than our multi-deck structures or the Absolute. These temporary structures are the pinnacle of premium hospitality. Multi-deck temporary structures allow you to maximise your space with additional floors to create tired revenue-generating areas in one structure. The multi-deck system is a stylish and elegant structure, with a white powder coated finish. It offers market leading internal head height, and sweeping panoramic view through the large windows.
Typically, the most premium hospitality options are provided on the higher floors that offer the best views. Our multi-deck structures are often deployed to racing events and golf tournaments where quality is critical. These structures are explicitly designed to accommodate restaurants, bars and private dining, while offering prime viewing positions. You might also want to explore our corporate Chalet structures as an alternative.
Exceptional corporate event structures
Planning a corporate event or product launch is not without challenges but our experienced team will help you design and specify the best structure. Our Premier range of temporary structures can be fitted with an apex or peaked roof for “show stopping appeal,” which is a key driver for event organisers looking to create a memorable visual impact.
A flexible modular atrium can be added to this structure as standalone element or combined to create an eye-catching peak-roof reception/display area, ideal for guest arrival or delegate registration. Clean finishing details and a full range of fit-out options will enable you to design a space that meets all your requirements.
