The pop-up tent, in your front room
Party tans
Leanne brings the tent, the fan, and the floor sheets to your house for a hen party, a prom night or a birthday. Spray only, naturally.
It started as a favour for a bride in Bedwas in 2015, and it now fills most Thursday and Friday nights from May to September.
Everyone needs a space with a plug and enough room for the tent, about two metres square. Leanne sets up in twenty minutes and lays down sheets, and she takes about fifteen minutes per person, so a party of six takes about two hours. People usually drink tea, and sometimes not tea.
Tell everyone to exfoliate the day before and to come in loose dark clothes and no make-up or deodorant. We can bring robes. Mix shades as much as you like; the bride does not have to match the bridesmaids, and it is usually better if she does not.
Book at least a fortnight ahead in summer. For a hen party the weekend before a wedding, keep the bride out of it unless she is having a separate tan just before the day.
