Theres a new kind of inflatable out there and she fits a purpose that you wouldn’t usually expect..

Posted on by Danny Savage

Recently we stumbled across this fascinating article about a gigantic inflatable woman. Here at Igloo Disco the office was of course alive with the usual pun’s about inflatable women. However this inflatable is a lady and she fits a purpose you wouldn’t usually expect.

The gigantic woman appeared in Nanjing city in China and has caused quite a stir with the local children in the area. Ba Di is her name and her purpose is to double up as a sex education playground where children can enter through her feet and explore a ball pool inside.

This great article from the Daily Mail explores the story in more detail – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3033254/Giant-inflatable-woman-unveiled-China-features-playground-teaches-children-sex.html

We just love inflatables here at Igloo Disco, if you do too and you would like your very own inflatable structure to make your event stand out why not browse our site to find out more.

Fancy an Igloo Disco on Mars? Well it could happen sooner than you think…

Posted on by Danny Savage

Humanity has dreamt of getting off the planet since we first looked up to the stars and began to study the cosmos. Sending men to Mars and even setting up a settlement on our closest planetary neighbour has long been the plot of many a sci-fi movie, Total Recall with the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger being my personal favourite.

Now it seems this could be reality sooner than you think. You may find yourself staying in Space Hotel inside an artificially created atmosphere in an inflatable structure within the next century. Of course the inflatable structures on mars will need to be made from a slightly more specialist material that your usual earth inflatable.

This amazing article from The Guardian Newspaper discusses the history of space habitability and also the issues we have making a cosmic mojito for your esteemed space tourist. It also discusses the history of using inflatables in space and the incredibly strong, but insanely light materials needed to create an inflatable eden on the red planet.

Fancy your own space themed inflatable igloo party? Then you have definitely landed on the right planet. Check out of range of inflatable igloo marquees to make your event stand out from the rest.

 

 

The Igloo Project

Posted on by Danny Savage

In September 2014 the Igloo Disco team took part in a very special event the aptly named Igloo Project in Nunthorpe. The event was a raving success and in keeping with traditional (and exciting) rave values the organisers didn’t reveal the location of the sold out party until the last minute.

The local paper The Gazette Live announced the location on Friday afternoon. You can also see a review and pictures from the event here – http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/view-were-you-rave-igloo-7814311

Igloo Disco were delighted to have been involved in the very successful event and we hope there will be a chance to be part of the Igloo Project again in the future.

 

 

Do Inflatable Pubs Require Licensing?….

Posted on by Danny Savage

…. The simple answer is yes they do, and the legislation involved doesn’t just end there. You also have to ensure that you have risk assessments in place to make sure your inflatable is structurally sound and most importantly safe.

I found an interesting article here that discusses the licensing of inflatable pubs.

You can find the full Licensing Act 2013 here – http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/17

Of course this also applies to us here at Igloo Disco too so no matter what type of inflatable marquee you are looking for, if you are wanting to undertake the sale of alcohol at your event you need to ensure you have the correct license in place.
