Can you say SPIEGELTENT? Last Saturday night Harrogate was having an arts festival and we brought our guests from KC with us for a night out listening to a jazz group called Nubiyan Twist. The concert was located in a Spiegeltent that was temporarily setup in the middle of Harrogate.
You can read below more on what a Spiegeltent is.
A Spiegeltent (Dutch for "Mirror Tent", from spiegel+tent) is a large travelling tent, constructed in wood and canvas and decorated with mirrors and stained glass, intended as an entertainment venue.[1][2][3][4] Originally built in Belgium during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, only a handful of these Spiegeltents remain in existence today, and these survivors continue to travel around Europe and beyond, often as a feature attraction at various international arts festivals.
Around the year 1900 mirror tents (Spiegeltent) were built in Belgium to be used as travelling dance halls.The numerous mirrors made it possible to make discreet eye contact with other visitors.
