This is the first time the companies have collaborated on an open day, though they have worked together at weddings, launches, parties and festivals for years.

New Vintage Tent Blog

Vintage seems to be a buzz word for a buzzing scene at the moment in the UK. It may just be sexing up charity shops, jumble sales and generally using old stuff as long as you can, but hey, so what. Recycling and repairing stuff to keep it in good order is good house keeping. Something the generations that went through both world wars knew something about.

Over The Moon is proud to be preserving these traditions with our store full of wooden ladders, imperial gauge tools, grandad’s chisels, plains, drills et al. Pride of place of course is our 20 sections of military marquee, all packed away and stored lovingly to appear at weddings and festivals up and down the land.

We’ve launched a new blog, Vintage Tents, to cover more vintage related articles as well as stuff on the tents. And if you’d like to hire our Vintage Tents read more here

Bunker Bash – Military Theme 16th Birthday Party

Over The Moon journeyed north to Glasgow for the 1st of April to produce a military theme party. The client’s brief was a military themed event and to cover a large 7mx4m pond right in the middle of the lawn. The pond span was too large for the vintage military tents to go over so we offered to camouflage a 19x15m Intent. We also used sides from our military tents to edge the Intent to add more olive green and the lived-in look of a military base.

We also added props like ammo crates, jerry cans, parachutes and lots more camo nets around the garden. The client had a large stage built over the pond that was suitably camouflaged and the look was completed with 180 combat ready 16-18 year olds. The night went off with a bang.
