A busy February... Who'd have thought it???

Torrential snowfall, bitter cold and marquees? Not usually three terms that you would associate with each other is it! February, however, has bucked this trend with wedding marquees, beer tents and sporting events all using the services of Best Intent. Marquees – which are stereotypically seen as summer structures – are becoming more and more popular all year round and with the heaters that are available to keep the marquees at a nice temperature don’t limit your thoughts to summer events!

February began with a wedding in the beautiful grounds of Greywalls Hotel, Gullane. The marquee sporting a champagne carpet and uplighters was beautifully elegant and in touch with the breath-taking surroundings looking over the 2013 Open Championship Golf Course of Muirfield.

The weekend after saw the begin of Scotland’s 6 Nations Championship at Murrayfield and a marquee being erected at the MurrayfieldHotel which is a premier venue for the rugby goers to have a pre and post-match drink and also provides big screen entertainment so even those without tickets for the game can go along and be part of the atmosphere in the shadow of the national stadium. Best Intent’s relationship with the Murrayfield Hotel has been running for 3 years now and hopefully this can continue long into the future! The marquee will sit in the grounds of the hotel until the 6 Nations finishes in mid-March.

The penultimate weekend in February saw the guys back at a familiar venue, Best Western Philipburn Country House Hotel for a wedding after a year away from the venue. The tunnelling linking the marquee to the house and the interior looked stunning and brought a really intimate feeling to the marquee.

The final weekend in February saw the rearranged Jedforest Point to Point event from January arranged at Friarshaugh near Kelso. This sporting event has also been a regular event on Best Intent’s calendar and long may this successful relationship with the local hunt organisations continue.

Looking to the month ahead there are another two Point to Point Events at Friarshaugh for Berwickshire Hunt and Buccleuch Hunt. There are also the final repairs getting made by the guys before April arrives with 7s seasons the beginning of 5 months of mayhem!!
