Part Conference, part nightclub, all a hell of a lot of fun!

The Audiovisual Arts Festival and Conference is celebration of electronic music and digital visual arts and was this year hosted on the 4th of June 2016 at T13 Belfast. This annual event is fast becoming a major music attraction for the city and played host to a number of emerging and established artists, DJ’s, producers, promoters, agents, record labels, designers, visual artists and of course some very special guests, These included, but were by no means limited to:

Beer Festivals organized by Make it Happen Events in Ireland have been popular with locals and tourists alike for some time, but this year the 2016 Belfast Craft Beer Festival offered something a little different in the form of Tentickle Stretch tents supplied by Tentickle Ireland. Beer Festivals are already a big part of Northern Irish culture, but one of this magnitude called for premium outdoor tent coverage and temporary shelter that needed to protect the punters from the Irish weather and help create an eye-catching cosy environment. This prompted event’s organizer Bruce Mansour to contact Maverick Marquees with a request for something “funky and colourful”, and of course we were only too happy to oblige!

Tents as BIG as the Beer Flavours they’re Sheltering!

Although this was the first time that a Tentickle Tent was used at this event, Maverick Marquees came to the party in a big way and pitched a massive 700 m sq structure created through the use of 2 separate tents joined together to accommodate nearly 40 separate bars and an impressive DJ space.

Electric Picnic is Ireland’s premier Music Festival and tickets for this event are sold out months in advance. The popularity of this festival means that standing out from the masses can be a difficult task. Not so however when Maverick Marquee’s brings a Tentickle Stretch tent to the party! This is exactly the reason why Events Newstalk & Todayfm approached our Irish distribution partner Maverick Marquees, as our tents offer versatility, excitement and just the right amount of flamboyance when presented in the right colour…

Stendhal is the ultimate colourful arts fest – a hippie haven if you will. The 2014 Stendhal festival took place on 8 and 9 August. Featuring everything from modern art and design, to aspiring and established musicians and theatre performances, it was a delight to the senses. Upon arriving at Stendhal, festival goers were welcomed by bright yellow sunflowers, and the colourful decor followed their every foot step with bright wall designs, flags and stretch tents adorned with psychedelic decorations. The event is always very family orientated but still retains a great balance of music and arts that attracts young and old alike.

We already know that Ireland is famous for its food, drink and literature… But what happens when we combine all three into one? We get the Kerrygold Ballymaloe Literary Festival of Food and Wine, the world’s first literary festival dedicated to food and wine!

Plenty of fun, food and festive drinking at the festival!
