Lowther Castle
Description: Historic castle and garden, home to the Earl of Lonsdale in medieval times
Product: A hand drawn, hand cut 1400mm spherical fire pit made to reflect the castle’s surroundings and provide a focal point and feature for the impressive gardens
Supplier: The Firepit Company
Telephone: 01440 730068

Details: A unique sculptural firepit was produced as a stunning centrepiece for the castle’s garden. The piece was hand drawn by The Firepit Company’s artist, following a discussion with the venue about key elements. The design includes a silhouette of the distinctive castle, as well as a massive dragon that forms their logo and the family crest. The piece is brought together with a tree structure and an iconic deer herd, another key feature of the castle grounds.
The design process was very interactive to ensure that all of the customer’s key elements were captured and that the piece sits beautifully in the landscaped gardens. The firepit is burned regularly at the venue’s evening events to provide a beautiful and memorable focal point.
Feedback: The firepit provides a stunning centrepiece and is often a talking point for visitors. The venue has spoken about a further set of firepits to complement this one and they say that the feedback from customers is very complimentary.

Description: As a preferred supplier to exclusive wedding venues, Twilight Trees installs faux trees both indoors and out for added arboreal magic
Supplier: Twilight Trees

Website: www.twilight-trees.com
Details: Twilight Trees has worked on many events at venues for discerning clients installing illuminated and natural look trees. Hand-painted and hand-finished, trees are available to hire or buy and range from Mini, at 55cm, to Grande models measuring over four metres.
Venues and event planners can choose from lit cherry, maple or palm trees in the illuminated collection, apple, cherry and romantic wisteria in the blossom collection, and trees ‘in leaf’. New this autumn are twinkling, snow dusted fir trees and the opulent ‘Trees in Gold’.
Feedback: “Twilight Trees were an absolute pleasure to work with from the outset. The project was no easy task due to the quick turnaround and location access, but they delivered everything I could have asked for. The trees we hired were amazing; they added great height to the installation and looked very much real on camera. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Earth Press Grids
Ecodeck

www.ecodeck.biz
The Ecodeck Earth Press grids are the perfect solution for all-year access to grassed areas with little disruption to the ground from installation. The extra large grids (85x62x3.5cm) are designed with a diamond profile and simply cut through the ground when they are pressed in with a large vibrating roller. They feature specially designed corners that work with the soil to stop them lifting out.
Strong yet flexible, the grids and joining system means that undulating ground is no problem and, once grass is knitted around the grids, ground stays green even in the wet winter months, meaning no mud!
