We provided a Merlin tent for an event at Warwick Castle this week. The Camping & Caravanning Club were running an event ‘New To Camping’ which featured a range of equipment manufacturers displaying equipment and talks from their president David Bellamy. Our Merlin Medieval pavilion tent was in the right setting and was featured in an article the club was producing for its August issue
.
It was a lovely summer day and ideal for being in the great outdoors. Warwick Castle has some marvellous exhibits, I particularly liked the ‘Kingmaker’ tour of rooms recreating life in the castle on the eve of a battle in the 14th Century , it was very evocative. Warwick Castle have many authentic tents manufactured by the same company that made our Medieval Pavilion tents. These tents are dotted around the site and are used to add colour, create the scene and used as concession stands.

Now I have an Iphone I can keep on track with emails when at events across the UK, very handy and it has prompted me to look into this Twitter malarky. You can now keep track of our canvas adventures,whereabouts, sights and sounds at festivals and parties this summer. As we have a cow in our logo we thought our Twitter id would be OverTheMoooon.

Over The Moon have been out in the Sahara doing an Overland trip in our Land Rover 130 work vehicle. We took the opportunity to take along a 6×8m Intent and look at developing it for the Overland vehicle market. We got some very positive feedback from vehicle owners and will be suggesting some feature enhancements to Intent manufacturing back home in South Africa to cater for this growing market.
Weight has to be kept to a minimum for Overlanding in dunes so we took no ground stakes and utilised the roof racks and jerry cans we already had with us. We also experimented with light weight poles.

Over The Moon tents has been delighted to get involved with the Blank Canvas project at this years Big Chill Festival. Inspired by seeing the spectacle of dozens of tents given to the homeless and placed along the Canal Saint Martin in Paris, artist Cedric Christie decided to create a charity project that would echo this gesture.
Over The Moon provided an eight section vintage army marquee and two three section ones as the shelter and backdrop inside which the artist’s pup tents are displayed.

Over The Moon Tents, and many of our clients, love the smell and feel of traditional canvas. Now you can combine that love of canvas with fashion and recycling and grab yourself a pair of trousers made of army tent canvas. Genius.
