The incomparable enchanted Christmas Lights Trail returns for 2022 featuring an all-new route, a spectacular light show incorporating Bolesworth Castle itself and a breath-taking water display on our beautiful lake.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR EVENT MEMORABLE
WHEN PLANNING AN EVENT EVERYONE WANTS THEIR NIGHT TO BE REMEMBERED, FLOATING MARQUEES DO THAT BY ALLOWING YOUR PROJECT TO FLOAT ON WATER. TAKE A LOOK AT JUST SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD FLOAT YOUR GATHERING.
Our blog this month at National Pontoon is about floating marquees and how they can transform your event.
WHAT ARE FLOATING MARQUEES?
Floating Marquees are simply a marquee on water, they are installed through the use of pontoons that sit on the water providing a sturdy and reliable structure for all events to take place on. These platforms are perfect for all promotions as not only do they accommodate for a large amount of people, they also add something unique to your platform. Making your event one to remember!
These structures are becoming widely popular due to how easy they are to install not only can they be deployed throughout the ocean. Our pontoons can also be made ready on rivers and lakes. So your event can take place wherever you please.
EVENTS THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT
With floating walkways the possibilities are endless, whatever type of event you have planned walkways will be able to accommodate for you. Although usual marquees are fully immersed in a tent-like platform, structures include an outside seating area where guests can gaze at the water across from them. The most common forms of floating events are:
- Weddings
- Festivals
- Product Launches
- Promotions
- Cinemas
Whilst these may be the most popular forms of floating occasions, the fun doesn’t have to stop there. Due to the unique bespoke design of the platforms our team can prepare and design anything you wish, our most interesting design was a football pitch! It involved an extensive survey of the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, we then had to install and manage the pontoon in order to keep it secure enough to play on. You can view this by heading over to our Facebook Page.
OUR FLOATING PONTOONS
The team at National Pontoon have been installing pontoons worldwide since 2011. Since then we have worked with numerous clients to bring inspections, events and films to life. When carrying out work we offer a full installation service which includes site surveys, designs, installations and removals. Due to the versatility of our product and our large fleet of vehicles we are able to deliver materials and carry out projects efficiently in a quick time frame. Allowing your event to be ready on time and run smoothly.
Working so close to water, safety has to be our team’s number one priority. That is why both of our steel and plastic pontoons come with a non-slip timber deck, ensuring no one is hurt whilst using our systems. For your complete piece of mind, the team also carry out compulsory pre wave checks. These make sure the water surrounding is suitable enough for the marquee to be placed on. So when you require pontoons, you can rely on National Pontoon.
