Buying a marquee – expert advice

Posted on July 3, 2016 by admin

DIY Marquees are renowned for giving marquee planning advice especially to start up marquee companies, they have years of experience and very happy to share their knowledge and experiences.

How to connect your marquee to a house:

There are usually two ways of connecting a marquee to a house:

i. butting the marquee directly up to the house so guests walk straight from one in to the other or

ii. using a walkway to connect the two together

Butting the marquee directly up to the house:

Usually only possible with doors from the house going in to the end rather than the side of a marquee. This is both from a weathering point of view (water will run off the sides rather than towards the entrance) and structural (the sides of a marquee have an eave rail that might obstruct the doors, the ends do not)

The marquee should be butted up as tightly as possible to the house (often to the overhanging guttering)

Leave the end panels off facing the house and use them instead on either side of the marquee filling up any gap between the corners of the marquee and the house. This will also leave any windows in the house looking straight in to the marquee which helps the atmosphere at the event.

It is nice but not essential to pull the scalloped edge of the roof facing the house up slightly for a neater finish and to keep heat in the marquee.

Using a walkway:

Our modular walkways can be used as 2x2m, 2x4m or 2x6m structures but equally a walkway can be improvised using wood or PVC.

If the event is being held both in the house and the marquee keep the walkway as short as possible to encourage flow between the two

Remember to allow for heating the walkway if required

We are always happy to offer more customised advice for your event, please contact us giving a few details of the event you are planning (type of event, space available, number of guests and diagrams/photographs of the site if possible) and we will be more than happy to advise on your options.

Tantra is to create connection to your inner self

Posted on May 13, 2016 by admin

Tantric Workshops London teach Emotional Detox for a peaceful society

Why Tantric massage training in UK?

Tantra holds the key to connection – to create connection to your inner self which in return

Thai massage stretching

will allow you to create connection with others and your loved ones. In a society that reminds people to be humane, Tantra will help heal past hurt, as the goal and process of Tantra is to surpass hurt in order to attain happiness and bliss. Tantra is capable of removing the pain induced negative behavior of a person which is also called an Emotional Detox. An Emotional Detox comprises many spiritual, emotional, psychological and physiological benefits. Therefore, Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening has taken the initiative to conduct Tantric massage training UK that is called Emotional Detox through Tantra and Tao Bodywork.

If you are planning on receiving a Tantric massage in London and if you like to know the benefits of emotional detox, please read our blog on Benefits of Emotional Detox http://www.tantricjourney.com/uncategorized/benefits-emotional-detox/

Tantric massage in London varies and some could be misleading and do not hold the essence of the Tantra teaching as they are only intended for pleasure, but whereas the essence of Tantric massages is to heal and connect to higher source energy to live at optimum. This is done by acting as mediator to our client to help the client to remove negative stagnant emotions in the cellular memory in the body’s cells that block the positive energy flow (positive emotions) that contribute to our health, love, happiness and ecstasy.

In our Tantric Workshop in London, that is called Emotional Detox through Tantra and Tantra Bodywork, we teach our students the core representation of Tantra laced with Tao teachings. Tantra allows expanding with consciousness and Tao integrates both male and female energies (Ying and Yan) to attain ‘oneness’, which is alignment with all that – is and the universal energy (also known as source energy). This alignment allows a person step up many levels of emotional intelligence which acts as a guidance system towards desired goals. Therefore Emotional Detox through Tantric massage training in UK can contribute to the multiplication of awakened and conscious beings in this world. Therefore Tantric massage in London is ideal for maintaining peace in the society in London.

Having worked with over 3000 women from all over the world spanning across U.S, Europe, U.K and Asia and having recognized the dire need of healing therapy to reconstruct people especially in London, I took the initiative set up Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening to help people learn the art of healing to anyone who wanted to become a healer. Thus, Tantric Journey became the first Tantric massage training in UK that was set apart from other Tantra remedies. Our, Tantric workshop in London employs cellular memory, mind- body connection, quantum physics and other prominent researches that claim healing is a state of mind.

Tantric massage in London is generally perceived as a pleasure – indulgent massage and Tantra is the herald of many misconceptions. In order to obtain a better understanding and to dispel myths about Tantra, read our blog on 3 Myths about Tantra and Tantric Sex.

To dispel the main myth about “Tantra is only about sex” it is good to know some Tantric sex practices do not have any physical contact of genitals. It is good to keep in mind the fundamental ideology of Tantric sex is about cultivating sexual energy within yourself to have a deeper understanding of yourself in order to connect to your partner who would do the same. Therefore Tantric sex is about energetically connecting with you and your partner to forge a bond beyond a physical realm to bring about love, intimacy, passion and the most vital ingredient – trust. The practice of Tantric sex with copulation or without copulation can heal a relationship or heal one partner who houses both emotional and physical pain. Learn how to embed the benefits of Tantric sex in your life through our blog Tantric Sex.

Tantric Journey Tantric massage training in UK can be set apart from many standard Tantra massages as every client I treat has always had near 100% success rate in healing. As I mentioned before, the Tantric Journey Bodywork is not purely intended for pleasure, the Tantric massage in London is performed to heal past trauma such as sexual abuse, physical abuse and psychological abuse that is stored in the body’s cellular memory. Tantra is weaving the spiritual body, emotional body and the physical body in order to connect to the divine source energy to attain a state of bliss and happiness. Therefore, I work as a mediator in assisting the weaving by removing stagnant negative emotions and energy blocks and physical blocks stored as toxins in the body. Tantric workshop in London honours women and womanhood. It teaches women self-respect and the most precious jewel for a women is self –respect that brings about self-discipline, self-confidence and self-esteem and teaches her to create her own safe circle allowing experiences that only nourish her.

Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening conducts its Tantric workshops in London at the Tantric Journey Temple. The workshops are of three types namely, Tantra Taster Evening, Tantra Teacher Training Course and Emotional Detox through Tantra & Tao Bodywork.

Tantra Taster Evening is intended for the Tantra novice to be introduced to Tantra and its teachings. The workshop will showcase how Tantra can be integrated into your life and its beneficial aspects. The Tantra Teacher Training course is a certified Tantric massage training in UK one of its kind, for anyone who want to learn the art of Emotional Detox through Tantra & Tao Bodywork in order to start a career or add an extra skill to their portfolio. And last the weekend workshop is the Emotional Detox through Tantra and Tao Bodywork that is intended for couples and singles to learn and experience the art of Emotional Detox through Tantra and Tao Bodywork to release negative emotions such as hurt and trauma in order to cultivate and build loving relationships with themselves, their loved ones and others.

Therefore Tantra and the Tantric treatments and teachings by the Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening can revolutionize human connectivity.

Professional advice from DIY Marquees

Posted on May 11, 2016 by admin

DIY MARQUEE feel so confident with the quality of their products they have written several interesting articles on how to care your pop-up marquee.

Have a look at this helpful article recently written

How often do marquees need cleaning?

It depends on the frequency a marquee is used, the environment it is erected in, the material in question and the weather conditions but in general marquee hire companies will lightly clean a marquee nearly every time it goes up but do a thorough ingrained clean maybe twice a year.

By lightly clean I mean wipe down any marks or mud that may have splattered on to the sides, this can be done when the marquee is erected on site. By ingrained clean I mean using a power washer, a floor scrubber or brush and strong marquee cleaner product or getting a professional marquee cleaning company in. Ingrained cleaning removes the grey film that builds up on marquees over time.

There are three categories of dirt on a Classic DIY Marquee:

  • mud splatters or other marks on the covers. These can be removed by light cleaning
  • grey film that builds up over time, to be removed by an ingrain clean
  • dirt and residue from trees. If it rains when your marquee is under a tree a lot of dirt gets washed off leaves on to your marquee, there may even be some sap on there too. The dirtiest marquee I ever saw was one erected under a tree. These need ingrain cleaning immediately as they won’t be good enough to hire out and leaving sap on PVC would not be good.

Different marquee materials, different cleaning methods:

  • Canvas cannot be cleaned without removing it’s FR coating
  • PVC can be cleaned as above; good quality PVC (like ours) will have a laminate coating to make it easier to clean.
  • Clear PVC (window panels) must be cleaned very carefully so the clear material isn’t scratched.
  • Poly/PVC you have to be careful as the PVC coating is a single layer than can be scratched off with aggressive cleaning.
  • PE material can be cleaned similar to PVC though doesn’t have a laminate coating so will not come back as new.

The most important point of all – never put your marquee away when wet. A wet stored marquee will create mildew (PVC & PE) or may rot (canvas & the stitching in any stitched marquee).

Hire a marquee for that special occasion

Posted on May 9, 2016 by admin

SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH OPENS WOODBERRY WETLANDS

David Attenborough in one of our marquees for the launce of Woodberry Wetlands.

Our team had quite the ‘wild’ day out last weekend. Woodberry Wetlands approached our company to provide an event space for the opening of their beautiful wetlands centre on 30th April, after all it has been closed to the public for 200 years.

To add to the sense of occasion, the centre was opened by eminent broadcaster and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough.

With a note from the client; “Thanks for a grand job at Woodberry Wetlands launch”, it is another success to add to our proved track record in delivering outstanding marquee events.

THE EVENT

The opening of Woodberry Wetlands, a beautiful space centre to be opened by Sir David Attenborough on 30th April.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge was simple for Marquee Hire Surrey, to create an exceptional marquee event space to hold VIP’s, press, and of course, Sir David for the opening of this stunning space in London.

Build and de-rig were to be on the same day, so our team needed to use a structure that could be set up and taken down within this timelines.

THE SOLUTION

Whilst the site spans the size of over 13 football pitches, the size allocated for the marquee was somewhat smaller.

Marquee Hire arrived on site on Saturday at 0730 to begin build of a 6m x21m marquee, which needed to be weighted using our marquee weights as it was situated on hard standing. The marquee needed one side open to enjoy the stunning vistas across the wetlands, with access to the rear for catering a services. At one end of the marquee a small stage was constructed for speeches and formalities.

There is no function that is too much of a challenge for Marquee Hire and Marquee Hire Sussex to handle. Their years of knowledge and expertise shows in the professionalism they show with every event.
