Our extensive range of Eurospan Structures has recently been updated with the introduction of two new models at 20M & 25M wide.

With a wall height of 3M (approx. 10ft) and clear span widths of either 20M (65.5 ft) or 25M (82 ft) wide,these new structures will be of interest to major event organisers.

The overall length of the structures can be increased in 5M sections as required.

Also available are solid wall panels, windows, door sets, and linings.

These new structure's now allow us to supply Eurospan Structures at 2M, 3M, 4.5M, 6M, 10M, 12M, 15M, 20M, & 25M wide

An interesting sale of classic motor cycles and bicycles was held recently at the National Motorcycle Museum near Birmingham.

A 50' wide (15m) Eurospan structure provided the viewing and sale space.

A last minute change of site within the grounds of the museum required the installation of an interlocking boarded floor system, as the site was in poor condition with mud and standing water over most of the area.

The result was a superb facility, comfortably heated and well light and from comments received from the event organizers H & H Classic Auctions exceeded everyone expectations.

The beautiful grounds of Shrubland Park near Ipswich Suffolk were the setting for a three day country house sale in September.

Kingsmead Marquees were delighted to again be appointed by Sotheby's this time on behalf of the de Saumarez family.

Eurospan structures were used to provide space for registration, catering, viewing, and the main sale marquee.

Lighting, heating, power generation, mobile toilets, furnishings, and sound equipment were all provided.

A Special 'SKYLIGHT' Eurospan structure featuring a clear roof provided the venue for the opening of a new office building for the Leicester Mercury.

During the opening ceremony guests where treated to an impressive light show on the new building while seated at their tables.

The structure was used for various functions during the week long celebrations. For one event a heavy duty wooden floor system was installed to allow 20 cars to be parked inside.

 

Kingsmead Marquees (southern) Ltd opened a new operating base recently at Cranfield, Bedfordshire.

Kingsmead Marquees were busy again at this years Henley Show

The event which has been going for over 100 years was held at Henley on Thames and Kingsmead was again chosen as the main contractor.

A mixture of traditional marquees and Eurospan structures made up the showground layout.

The site is set in delightful countryside and well worth a visit.

Kingsmead Marquees were delighted to be appointed by Sotheby's on behalf of Lord Hesketh to provide all the marquees and ancillary equipment for the recent high profile three day sale at Easton Neston.

Eurospan structures were used throughout the installation and included registration, catering, viewing, furniture viewing, and the main sale marquee itself.

Lighting, heating, power generation, mobile toilets, furnishings, and sound equipment were all provided and maintained during the two week project. The auction included some amazing items with sales of 8.7 million pounds.

 

An extension to the main conference suit at The Whittlebury Hall Hotel was recently completed. The 10M wide Eurospan Structure features a heavy duty floor system to enable vehicles from the nearby Silverstone Circuit to be displayed.

The hotels large sliding doors now open into the structure giving a wide clear unobstructed access to a versatile new area.

Lighting,heating,fire exit doors,carpets and pleated linings complete the installation.

 

A request to enclose a balcony area to allow all year round use was the challenge recently set by Collingtree Park Golf Club, Northamptonshire.

The solution was a set of curtains incorporating large flexi glass sections,these curtains are suspended from a new type of track and can be easily opened or completely removed if required.

A new permanent Eurospan Structure was installed at a recently refurbished hotel near Leicester

The structure was erected in the specially landscaped grounds of the hotel on a concrete base,and will provide seating for 250 dining guests, the layout includes a fully equipped kitchen with walk in freezers, extraction system and all services, while the main marquee includes a fabulous fitted bar, dance floor, linings, heating, cloakroom & toilets, theme lighting inside & out, alarm system, fire exits & emergency lighting.

The structure also includes a special 5 sided end section fitted with arched window walls and a entrance canopy leading to glazed entrance doors.

The equipment was manufactured & installed in record time as the hotel had a wedding booking just 3 weeks after the order was placed.

 

Work started in our fabric workshop in early December on a new range of interior lining based on a kite shape,the fabric used is very elastic and can be stretched to fixing points in the roof of our range of Eurospan frame marquees,a number of over lapping 'kites' produce a stunning and refreshingly new look to the interior of the marquee.

The 'kites' are made in a range of striking colours and patterns and some are coated with a special finish to make them glow under ultra violet light - great for university balls and Party's especially when combined with imaginative lighting

A request for a retractable canopy to enclose a court yard at the rear of a village pub became the catalyst for a completely new product.

The canopy can be retracted quickly on to an aluminum roller, and deployed just as easily by pulling a cord. The canopy can be fitted with side walls to allow all year use, adding a valuable extension to the pub.

Ian & his team from our southern depot spent a week refreshing the Eurospan hospitality structures we installed 5 years ago at Towcester Racecourse, the project included washing the PVC outer membrane of the marquees, and removing the interior linings which were washed in our laundry department at Frolesworth, after re fitting the whole installation looks as good as new, and proves just how little maintenance these structures require.

While on site another permanent structure was installed to replace the ticket office,this was fitted with a new type of glass door with glass side panels, the finished result looked so smart that we decided to make these doors available in our standard hire range.

A very stylish and unique permanent Eurospan frame structure was installed in April at Wicksteed park near Kettering. The design team headed by Andrew Breward was delighted to win the contract for this project despite stiff competition and cheaper alternatives. The bespoke design however makes best use of the various levels across the site, and integrates perfectly with the existing buildings, one of which is a partly enclosed fabulous old timber Coffee shop.
