We recently completed multiple stretch tent installations for Beyond The Pale Festival in Wicklow, helping create covered spaces across bars, stages, backstage areas and festival dining zones.
Set within the stunning surroundings of Glendalough Estate, Beyond The Pale has quickly become one of Ireland’s best-known boutique festivals, combining music, art, food and wellness in a unique woodland setting.
For this project, we supplied multiple stretch tents in different sizes, complete with:
Full wall systems
Hard flooring installations
Covered bar structures
Stage and backstage areas
Festival dining spaces
The flexibility of stretch tents allowed the festival team to create practical weatherproof environments while maintaining the open and visually striking atmosphere that Beyond The Pale is known for.
Large Stretch Tent Installations for Festivals
Modern festivals require structures that are practical, flexible and visually impressive.
Stretch tents have become one of the most popular solutions for outdoor festivals because they provide:
Flexible layouts
Weather protection
Covered hospitality spaces
Outdoor bar areas
Dining and seating zones
Backstage and production areas
For Beyond The Pale Festival, multiple structures were installed across the site to support different areas of the event while maintaining a consistent festival atmosphere.
The flowing design of stretch tents works naturally within woodland and countryside locations, making them ideal for boutique festivals like Beyond The Pale.
Covered Festival Bars & Dining Areas
Festival hospitality spaces now play a major role in guest experience.
At Beyond The Pale, stretch tents were used to create covered bar and dining areas that remained comfortable and functional throughout the event.
Combining stretch tents with flooring and walls creates spaces that are:
Weather resistant
Comfortable for guests
Suitable for high footfall
Visually attractive during day and night use
These types of covered festival spaces help organisers improve guest experience while allowing outdoor areas to remain operational in changing weather conditions.
Stage & Backstage Stretch Tent Installations
Stretch tents are increasingly used for:
Festival stages
Artist areas
Production zones
Backstage hospitality
Staff and crew spaces
Their flexibility allows organisers to create functional spaces quickly while adapting layouts around existing terrain and site infrastructure.
For Beyond The Pale, multiple stretch tents were integrated across different operational areas of the festival site.
Full Flooring & Wall Systems for Outdoor Events
To improve comfort and usability throughout the site, the installations also included hard flooring systems and full stretch tent walling.
Flooring systems provide:
Stable surfaces for guests
Improved accessibility
Better performance in wet weather
Premium event presentation
Wall systems help increase protection from wind and rain while maintaining the flexibility and open atmosphere that stretch tents are known for.
Why Stretch Tents Work So Well for Boutique Festivals

Stretch tents suit this type of festival environment because they:
Blend naturally into outdoor landscapes
