Vintage event decor trends

Vintage Theme popular in the UK & the US. This pic was at the VIP lounge, Lovebox Festival 2011

There is a good article on vintage event trends that are also very popular over in the USA. Interesting to hear that the US events market is experiencing the same vintage market we have been servicing here in the UK since 2006.

Cheese School in the tent

Some of our vintage army tent will be on parade at the http://www.walledgarden.co.uk/ in Wrington, Somerset this coming weekend, the 28-30th October 2011.

Beautiful Wedding setting.

She will be hosting the Cheese School being held by Trethowans Dairy, from Llanddewi Brefi, in Ceredigion, West Wales. The tent goes up on Friday morning in time for the school on Sunday. Both the tent and the Walled Garden venue are available for hire for events and you could get a feel for both if you head over and have a look. There may even be spaces still at the Cheese School, contact Trethowans to find out.

Festivals flourish the finish to the summer

After a glorious 28′C finale to September and then a 30′C beginning to October its been a beautiful finish to the summer season. Over The Moon have been festival focused with a fantastic Trystonbury 2011 which kept us very busy the last 2 weeks of September. See the Trystonbury Facebook page for all the great feedback on how we organised a fabulous weekend. If you’d like us to do the same for you see MyVeryOwnFestival.com for more ideas.

This week the festival focus continues with us down at our Somerset base providing a stretch tent for the Lantern Festival, which is in its second year. This is a children friendly knees up with some great bands that have appeared at Glastonbury Festival.

The summer season is coming to end. October sees us at the providing the vintage military for Pinewood Studios and then exhibiting at the Showman’s Show with Intent and EagleBars.

July Jobs

July has been a varied month, generally dry, though quite cool feeling. Most jobs have come down dry which is always much appreciated. We have worked at a school,
a festival (http://www.twothousandtreesfestival.co.uk/the-line-up/);
an outdoor Shakespeare play (http://comxoevents.wordpress.com/);
a business park (http://www.enjoy-work.com/) and there is a wedding coming up this week with the vintage military .

The pic below shows the vintage military at Red Bull’s Formula 1 headquaters in Milton Keynes.

We also visited the War&Peace show in Kent to have a look at lots of vintage military tents and vehicles. A great place to pick up knowledge on the history of our tents and to get ideas for setting them in various ways. The living history areas of this large event are well worth a visit.

It was a hard weekends work at Glastonbury Festival this weekend past. Over The Moon was on site from Friday to Monday 20th. We put up the G Stage back stage bar (our traditional marquee) as the PussyFoot cabaret bar

On the saturday we put up the G-Stages front of house,25x14m Stretch Tent for the third year running.

And on the Monday we put up a Medieval and Pop-Up for the ‘Oink In The Meadow’ cafe in the camping area A.

Stretch Tents Galore

It was hard going in the rain all weekend, and the stretch tent erection was delayed when we hit a water main we hadn’t been notified about!! 3 hours later we started the work (7pm) finally finishing in the dark at 1am. Hard going but we were determined to get it done as planned.

This is the 3rd year stretch tents have been at Glastonbury and they are going from strength to strength. From 2 in 2009 to 20 this year. Intent is growing its presence.
