Following the fantastic response to our innovative inflatable yurts and canvas canopies at last year's Showman's Show, we're very excited to be returning with two brand new product launches! Since then, the Norlight name has continued to gain recognition across the festival and events industry, with more operators, hire companies and venues choosing our design-led approach to temporary structures.
Visitors to our stand will be among the first to see our brand new NOR AirLux 7 and NOR Apex – two products that showcase our commitment to designing innovative canvas structures that solve real-world challenges.
At Norlight, we don't just buy products from a catalogue and print our logo on them. Every structure starts as an original concept, designed by our Managing Director, Alex, with one goal in mind... to create products that are easier to install, more practical to operate and deliver an exceptional experience for both businesses and their customers.
Our new NOR AirLux 7 is the next evolution of our inflatable yurt range. Building on the success of the original AirLux, it features an innovative two-bedroom layout that combines rapid installation, exceptional strength and a premium finish with the flexible accommodation today's operators are looking for. It's a striking new addition to the range and one we're incredibly excited to unveil at this year's show.
The NOR TipiApex began with a simple question:
How do you keep everything people love about a tipi while making it work harder?
The answer was to replace the traditional circular footprint with a practical square design. The result is a stylish, contemporary structure that comfortably sleeps four adults—twice the capacity of a standard 3-metre tipi—while retaining the distinctive silhouette that makes tipis so popular. It's a simple idea, but one that creates significantly more usable space without compromising the aesthetics that guests are drawn to.
This way of thinking runs through every product we develop.
What makes Norlight different is our unique relationship with our parent company, the manufacturer. Rather than sourcing existing products, we work collaboratively from the very first sketch through to prototyping, testing and production. That seamless process allows us to innovate quickly, refine every detail and bring genuinely original ideas to market.
Even our canvas is developed specifically for our products. Instead of selecting standard off-the-roll material, our fabrics are woven at our manufacturing facility to our own specifications, giving us complete control over quality, durability and performance. It's this attention to detail that ensures our structures not only look exceptional but are built to withstand the demands of commercial use.
This close collaboration also allows us to develop bespoke structures for customers with specific operational requirements, creating products that simply aren't available anywhere else.
Innovation has always been at the heart of Norlight, and we're excited to continue expanding our range with thoughtfully designed canvas structures for the festival, events and glamping industries.
If you're visiting The Showman's Show, we'd love you to stop by our stand, meet the team and be among the first to experience the NOR AirLux 7 and NOR Apex. Whether you're looking for premium accommodation, eye-catching event structures or a bespoke solution designed around your business such as our luxury Inflatable Yurts or Canvas Canopies (Below) , we look forward to welcoming you.
