Hiring Event Crew Agencies to Erect Tensile Structure at LC Carnival

For the most recent LC Carnival, we decided to do something a bit different with the structures we had at the event. We hired in some event crew agencies who helped us to erect a tensile structure in the form of a circus tent. We think the nature of the structure really added to the event and looked fantastic on site.

Find out how it went on-site in this article today.

The Tensile Structure Trend

Nowadays, if you attend a festival in the UK or abroad you are bound to run into some form of tensile structure. This modern form of the temporary building is proving to be extremely popular at festivals and carnivals worldwide. In order to jump in on this trend, we had to make sure to find something unique that celebrated the LC Carnival event. In the end, we went with VBS Structures who have plenty of experience in providing a brilliant tensile structure.

Circus Tent Style

When looking at which tensile structure to choose for our carnival, we debated between the modern white style which is often seen in art galleries or exhibitions, and the circus tent style often seen at festivals. We decided, in the end, to go for the more circus tent style as it conveyed the sense of fun and excitement that we want everyone to feel when attending the LC Carnival. Our choice of colours, in the end, was a class red and yellow combination, matching many of the key themes of our carnival.

Perfect for a Carnival

The light structure ensures that people can party into the night with shelter, but also is not a stuffy space. Once the event crew agencies had erected the structure, it became the perfect party space for all of our carnival attendees. Not to mention, this type of tensile structure is far easier to erect and take down than, for example, a building made of walls and a ceiling.

Event Crew Agencies for Construction

Not only did we have to source the perfect team for our tensile structure circus tent, but we also needed to find the right event crew agencies to erect the thing. There are a few companies we normally go with, but on this occasion we found TenTen Events to be really reliable. They had our structure up quickly and it looked fantastic at the Carnival site.

Carnival Loadout

Not only were our event crew agencies quick to have our tensile structure erected, but they were also brilliant when it came to our carnival loadout. The best thing about this type of structure was that it was easier to take down and store into the transport, than perhaps a more solid structure may have been. It ended up being one of the fastest load-outs that LC Carnival has had!

How the Leicester Carnival Could Benefit from a Power Stacker Lift

Here at the Leicester Caribbean Carnival, we have so much equipment needed around the time of the festival, and which we share with various other events throughout the year. It can be a real struggle trying to ensure that all of the gear is stored correctly. On top of that, we need to find a way in which we can move and lift the various props that we use for our shows and events. After a bit of brainstorming and some research, we found that the perfect solution may be a piece of equipment called a power stacker lift. Usually used in industrial environment, we think that the benefits could transfer well to our needs at the Carnival.

Read on to find out more about the power stacker lift and how we want to incorporate it into our day-to-day.

Helping Store the Light and Sound Equipment

The first way in which we want to utilise the benefits of a power stacker lift is in storing all of our light and sound equipment. We have a lot of equipment which we store in a compact storage unit meaning some shelving and so on is relatively high up. It is both dangerous and stupid for us to try to lift the equipment, so we have to find a machine which could do this for us- the power stacker lift.

Lifting Props onto Stages

Another lifting problem we have, often comes in the form of lifting props onto the stage as the venues we use in Leicester do not have a ramp or lift facility. Instead, we would suggest using a power stacker lift to get the items where they need to go!

Transporting Props or Equipment

The next issue we often have is getting our equipment or props from A to B. This includes either getting them into the vans to transport from workshop to venue, or just getting them from one area of the venue to another. We believe that a power stacker lift, or even a somewhat similar form of equipment, would be great for helping us to do this.

Help Us Raise Money for a Power Stacker Lift!

With all of this in mind, we are looking to invest in a power stacker lift for the festival. Which we will endeavour to lend to other community events who need the equipment throughout the year. However, for this we may need your help. We are in the process of applying for grants from both charity and government for the equipment, but any donations would be gratefully received. If we do receive the grant funding, we will put this money back into helping those who need it in the Caribbean community of Leicester!
