Big Top 30mx54m

Big Top Tents 30m System


This system is available in several different configurations ranging from 30m x 30m to 30m x 66m.

In addition to our round traditional circus showtent, we have designed, built and introduced new pyramid ends. These have delivered a radical improvement in audience sight-lines when an end stage is used.

It is a very striking and attractive tent, modern and elegant in appearance with a warm friendly interior. The use of a pair of goal post king poles gives excellent sight lines and the pyramid ends have four quarter poles only. This very effective venue is an excellent choice for use with audiences of just under 2000 capacity for every type of event.

DESIGN This tent is a high profile modern Big Top, yellow on the outside and a dark maroon inside. It is a very striking and attractive tent, modern and elegant in appearance with a warm friendly interior. Its design facilitates lighting, sound and presentation. The pyramid ends have four quarter poles only. The use of a pair of king poles gives excellent sight lines and in the centres the use of quarter poles has been avoided giving an area 30m x 18m completely clear of obstructions, other than the king poles. The photograph of a 30m x 86m tent shows how this works.
RIGGING Four lattice work steel king poles with a lattice work steel cupola. The king poles are designed to take a load of up to half a tonne each for rigging lighting, sound and other equipment.
STAGE This venue works very well with a side stage with excellent sight lines. The king poles are well placed to provide easy fixings for lighting and sound. This venue also works well with an end stage, when we can arrange to alter the quarter poles to allow a clear view of the the centre stage, and with goal post king poles, the sight lines are excellent.
SIDEWALLING 2.7m high, deep red outside, dark blue inside.
DOORWAYS Six steel-frame double doorways, 1.80m wide.

DESIGN This tent is a high profile modern Big Top, yellow on the outside and a dark maroon inside. It is a very striking and attractive tent, modern and elegant in appearance with a warm friendly interior. Its design facilitates good lighting, sound and presentation. The pyramid ends have four quarter poles only. The use of pairs of king poles in a goal post gives excellent sight lines and in the centres the use of quarter poles has been avoided giving an area of 30m x 40m completely clear of obstructions other than the king poles. The photograph of a 30m x 86m tent shows how this works.
STAGE This venue is best with an end stage, when we can arrange to alter the four end quarter poles to allow a clear view of the stage, and with the gol post king poles, the sight lines are excellent. A long venue with excellent sight lines and very little wasted space. The king poles make excellent positions for lighting. Screens can be hung from the long cupola.
