New Party tent!
The Longparish Community Association has had a party tent available for use by LCA members and Affilliate Groups. This tent was 10m long by 4m wide and could hold about 60 people standing or 40 sitting.
The time has come to retire this tent and it has been replaced with a newer 6m wide x 10m long tent/marquee which holds about 100 people standing or 60/80 seated. The tent is from the Gala Tent range of marquees made from their top of the range PVC fabric. It can also be erected with ground bars if you need to use it on a hard surface.
If this is too large then we also have a smaller 4m wide x 6m long tent that can be used either as a tent or as a large gazebo (roof only)
LCA will provide the tent and an expert to help put it up. You may need to provide transport - both tents have 2 meter long steel poles and all the parts needed for the large tent weighs in at a hefty 350Kg!! You will also need to provide at least three helpers, make a donation (min £100 for the larger tent / £30 for the smaller one) to LCA and give the expert a suitable bottle.
At the discretion of the committee, it is also available free for use by affiliated village organisations for events like the fete.
If you’d like to find out more please contact Andy on 720207 or Jeremy on 720459.
In case we mislay them, here are the instructions for the large marquee or instructions for the smaller marquee
Plus here's a rather helpful video demonstration on how to erect the 6m x 10m marquee, and what it looks like.
Other Equipment
The following equipment is owned by the Community Association who are keen to make it available for use within our community. Local organisations affiliated to the Community Association are welcome to use the equipment free of charge (although obviously any donations to go towards the cost of equipment replacement would be gratefully received). Individual members of the Community Association are also welcome to borrow equipment for their personal/family use. A minimal charge will be made for a number of the items (marked), although again, donations gratefully accepted! We reserve the right to charge users up to £50 where equipment is damaged.
Please note: none of this equipment is available for trade or commercial purposes.
