Single-Deck Structures

Our range of single-deck structures are a popular addition to all types of outdoor events. Whether used front of house as a light and spacious restaurant or hospitality space, an exhibition hall or retail village, or back of house as service areas and media centres, there's no limit to the ways our versatile single-deck structures can be used. 

Extensive fit out options, as well as cladding and branding, allow you to treat your structure as a blank canvas ready to be transformed for your event. Available in spans from 8m up to 30m, and any length in multiples of 5m, the options for use and configuration are almost limitless. 

In addition, our single-deck structures are available with four distinct roof profiles - Apex, Eclipse, Plateau and Peak, allowing further customisation for a stylish and distinctive look.

Multi-Deck Structures

Our elegant multi-deck structures, available as either a double-deck or a triple-deck structure, are a popular choice for hospitality suites, allowing a range of restaurants, bars and private dining options to be accommodated while minimising the footprint of the structure. 

Service corridors and back of house facilities mean our multi-deck structures are functional as well as stylish and our in-house range of lifts mean every area of our multi-deck structures are fully accessible. 

With a 4m leg height as standard on ground and first floors and full height glass windows, our multi-deck structures provide light, bright hospitality spaces with excellent lines of sight for spectators at sporting events.  And our flexible 8m/7m beam configuration means our multi-deck structure only requires the support of one internal column on the ground floor - providing an airy and spacious feel for your guests.

Giant Structures

If you require a large-scale temporary event structure, for a conference or exhibition hall, or dining and party space to cover even the biggest of events, our Giant structure is the perfect large venue choice. 

Supplied with an optional integral flooring system, it's available in width spans of 30m, 40m and an impressive 50m. With unlimited length available in multiples of 5m, the size is limited only by the available ground space!

Your Giant structure will be tailor-made for the requirements of your event, giving you the space and internal configuration you need. 

Whether you want one huge open space, internal partitioning to create separate entertainment and back of house zones, or partitioning to create exhibition stand areas and walkways, we can develop a design that makes the most of the space that comes with this large temporary structure. What's more a fully integrated roof and gutter system provides unrivalled weatherproofing and climate control, enabling all year round usage for this most versatile of temporary structures.

Chalet structures

Our distinctive hospitality chalet range, with their striking design, make for a compact and versatile addition to any event. 

Designed by GL events UK in response to the demand from sporting event organisers for versatile, modular hospitality units, chalets can be used to create individual self-contained hospitality structures for private use by groups of guests.

Alternatively, several chalet units can be used together to make a larger, flexible entertaining space. This modular approach offers the ability to create large hospitality ‘villages’ containing a number of individual private chalets attached to a larger shared hospitality space that can contain toilets, restaurants, retail areas, public lounge areas, as well as back of house catering and storage areas.

The layout really is entirely up to you; no two hospitality villages are the same, with configuration determined by number of guests, size of parties and whether or not shared space is required. Each individual event chalet can be branded with corporate colours or logos, enhancing the personalisation of each space and offering corporate guests and sponsors the opportunity to increase visual brand awareness at the event.

FAQs

How much does an event cost?

The cost of an event can vary tremendously. One of the biggest factors in determining this, is deciding what’s most important for you to have at the event, i.e. are catering and toilets more important than entertainment?  

In the early planning stages, these are the sort of questions we will ask you – then we can tailor a package to meet your budget expectations, within reason.

What sizing do your structures come in?

Effectively we can deliver anything from 9 square metres, to say, 20,000 square metres! The smallest width structure we have in our range is 2.5 or 3m. The largest span available is 50m and there are a wide range of sizes in between.  

Different structures are more suitable for different types of use and different types of configuration. So start by having a conversation with us about your needs and we’ll go from there.
