Longwood Sporting Society, Winchester

Bespoke Safari Tent Shooting Lodge 9m x 12m

The lovely people at Longwood Sporting Society were not new to the Game Sport hospitality scene and had been running corporate shoots for some time. In early 2021 they were looking to source a new, permanent bespoke marquee or custom safari tent to add to their exclusive venue and so contacted Bond.

After visits and many discussions, we came up with a design brief that suited their requirement for a large safari tent that would be flexible enough to use casually on shoot days yet also provide a smart interior in which to host a wide range of hospitality events.

The result was a very imposing 9m x 12m bespoke safari tent with a 3m covered front porch to really take advantage of the views in the glorious countryside. The interior space was customised by our team of carpenters to create interior rooms such as toilets and a designated bar space too. Panoramic windows were used to maximise the view and several walls were enabled to fully roll up opening the space entirely.

The use of CAD design really helps us communicate tent or marquee designs with our clients so they can see the overall result and make changes to the design where necessary. Meeting our clients design brief and often their own specific brand image is very important to us and we love the fact that each project is unique.
