A dry seat and
a clear view.
We hire covered tiered seating for outdoor events — mobile grandstands of 90 to 181 seats that arrive on a trailer and are built in as little as half an hour. Every seat sits under an integrated roof, so your spectators stay put when the weather turns.
Main-ring seating that keeps people watching the grand parade instead of queueing for the beer tent when it rains.
Raised, ticketed viewing on hard streets — built overnight, gone before the road reopens.
Passing-out parades and remembrance events, where families need a proper seat and the day has to run to the minute.
Trackside and ringside tiers with a 400mm row rise, so row four sees the action, not the back of row three.
What a good show day looks like
A full, covered stand changes the feel of an event. People settle in, the atmosphere builds, and nobody drifts home at the first shower. That's the thing we're actually hiring out.

Specified for the wet Saturday
A grandstand gets judged on the worst day of your event, not the best one. Ours are aircraft-grade aluminium, hydraulically built by one or two operators, and rated to Gale Force 8 once up — which is what your safety advisory group will want to see on an exposed site.
Part of the structure, not a canopy bolted on. Every seat in every stand is under cover.
Wind-rated once built, load tested before we hand over.
No scaffold, no compound, no three-day build. Towed in and opened out in 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the stand.
400mm row rise and generous going — people can pass without the whole row standing up.
181 seats is the single-trailer ceiling. Past that, we pair stands into blocks of any practical size.
Fixed tiered seating built to BS EN 13200, the same standard as permanent stadium seating.
Bond films, royal visits, county finals
We traded for the best part of three decades as KL Spectator Seating. In that time our stands have seated spectators at everything from village club finals to royal visits — and one of them appeared in a James Bond film production.
The same stands work passing-out parades for the armed forces, police and fire service — the events where families have travelled a long way and the seating simply has to be right.
