Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Playhouse in Bath needed a smarter way to manage its bustling foyer queues during interval and  pre-show rushes. Their old, retractable tape barriers felt cheap and  constantly needed replacing.

"The Bolero red barrier system immediately elevated the look of our lobby. It feels so much more in keeping with the theatre's character. Our patrons know exactly where to queue for the bar, and  the whole space feels calmer and  more organised, even when it's packed."

Michael Davies – Theatre Manager

The change resulted in a more efficient bar service, reducing queue times and  increasing front-of-house sales by an estimated 10% during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack your new canvas barrier and  the included fixing accessories from the box.
  • Position your barrier posts (sold separately) to map out your desired queue or walkway.
  • Simply use the clips on each end of the barrier to securely attach it to the loops on the posts.
  • Stand back and  adjust the post distance for a taut, professional-looking finish.

Keeping It Going

  • For day-to-day dust or minor spills, a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth is all you need.
  • For a deeper clean, the polyester fabric is fully machine washable – just follow the care label instructions.
  • Periodically check that the metal clips are functioning correctly and  are free from debris.
  • When storing, roll the barrier neatly to prevent deep creases from setting in.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Queue Management Solution

Not sure what fits your space best? Getting your queue system right is easy when you know what to look for. Here are a few tips to guide you.

Map Your Flow

Before you buy, walk the path your customers will take. This helps you figure out exactly how many barriers and  posts you'll need to create a clear, logical path.

Match Your Brand

Your barriers are part of your decor. A classic red barrier system like this one brings a sense of occasion and  quality, perfect for restaurants, theatres, and  hotels.

Consider Your Traffic

For high-traffic areas, durability is key. A hard-wearing, machine-washable polyester fabric ensures your barriers look great day after day, week after week.

Prioritise Safety

In any public space, fire safety is non-negotiable. Always look for products that meet UK standards like BS5852 for full compliance and  peace of mind.

Think About Your Staff

Choose a system that’s lightweight and  easy for any team member to set up, reconfigure, or take down quickly without any hassle.

More Than Just Fabric: Why BS5852 Fire Retardancy is a Must-Have

Seeing 'BS5852 Fire Retardant' on a spec sheet might seem like technical jargon, but it's one of the most important features for any public-facing business. In simple terms, it's a British Standard that proves the fabric has been treated to significantly resist ignition from a flame, like a match or a lighter. Think of it as an insurance policy woven directly into the material. In the unlikely event of a fire, this treatment prevents the barrier from catching light easily, slowing the spread of flames and  giving your staff and  customers crucial extra time to evacuate safely. It’s not just about protecting property; it’s about meeting your legal and  moral duty of care, ensuring your venue is as safe as it can possibly be.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Hotels: Create an organised, welcoming entrance and  elegantly manage table or check-in queues on busy nights.
  • Theatres & Event Venues: Professionally guide guests to box offices, cloakrooms, or function suites with a classic, stylish look.
  • Museums & Galleries: Subtly direct visitor flow and  protect exhibits without using intrusive or industrial-looking barriers.
  • High-End Bars & Clubs: Manage VIP areas and  door queues with a touch of class that matches your venue's premium feel.
