Typically consisting of rows of seats arranged in tiers, bleacher seating is used to create a raised audience venue. Often found in school halls and arenas, the elevated view gives spectators a good look at what is happening and reduces the risk of them being hit by objects flying overhead. They are also cheaper than fixed seats and, as they don’t have any fixed seats, can be easily moved or packed away when not in use.
Bleacher Seating in the UK: Considerations and Options
A good example of bleacher seating is the equestrian grandstand seating at the Alresford Show, which helps to generate a sense of occasion for the equine competitors in the outer show ring and also provides a space where spectators can comfortably sit and watch rather than jostling for standing room at ringside. This is great for the spectators and the competitors as it demonstrates to them that their competition is every bit as important to the show as the events in the main ring.
Bleacher seating is available in a variety of colours and materials, from hard-wearing hardwoods or weatherproof plastics for outdoor venues to a range of padded seats for more upmarket theatres. They can also be manufactured with a retractable option, known as telescopic bleachers, to give maximum flexibility of use. These can be manually operated by a small team or motorized for a fast turnaround with minimal effort.
