Stretch Tent Hire · Corporate
Corporate Event Tent Hire
A room that does not exist yet, on a site you already have. Company summer parties, staff days, launches and hospitality under tensioned canvas, up to 300 people, on grass or hard standing.
Why a stretch tent
The site is usually the problem. Canvas without a frame solves it.
Corporate sites are rarely a clean rectangle of lawn. They are a car park with a kerb through it, a courtyard with a fire escape, a stretch of grass beside the building with three trees in the wrong place. A framed marquee needs the site to fit the tent. A stretch tent has no rigid frame, so the canvas is shaped around what is already there and anchored against the building itself.
Grass or hard standing
Steel ground anchors on grass, ballast on tarmac and block paving. No drilling, nothing left behind.
Built and gone the same day
Our crew handles setup and takedown. Nobody on your team needs to own the tent on the day.
It photographs well
A sculptural canvas sweep reads better in the recap deck and on socials than a white box.
Capacity
Three sizes, four layouts.
All prices inc VAT, setup and takedown included, delivery quoted on distance from our York and Malton base. Standing and seated are our stock figures. Cabaret and theatre are planning guidance, so confirm the final layout with us before you publish a headcount.

The paperwork
The questions your facilities team will ask.
Booking a tent for a company is a different job from booking one for a garden. Here is where we stand before you have to ask.
Public liability cover
In place. We send the certificate with the quote whenever a venue or facilities team needs it on file.
VAT invoice and PO
We raise a VAT invoice to the company and can put your purchase order number on it. Prices here already include VAT.
Site visit
We do them on unfamiliar sites. Often photos and a map pin answer it faster, and we will say so and save you the morning.
Surface and anchoring
Ground anchors on grass, ballast on hard standing. Tell us the surface up front and it is priced in, not sprung on you.
Access and level floor
Dandy Dura matting gives a firm, level surface across grass, which also solves wheelchair and trolley access.
What we do not do
Power distribution, generators, catering and furniture. We hire the tent, flooring, lighting and heating, and refer the rest.

What event organisers say
★★★★★
"We hired 13 bell tents for our summer family festival reunion. It added a touch of luxury and comfort to the whole experience. The staff took care of everything, the setup and takedown, the individual bookings and payments, made it totally hassle-free."
★★★★★
"Great service from The Glamping Group for our festival. Excellent feedback from our guests and the option to include a real bed and mattress was impressive and taken up by many. We'll certainly be using The Glamping Group for our 2024 event. Thanks guys."
★★★★★
"Hired 10 Bell Tents plus a Bridal Tent for our garden festival style wedding. All members of the team were really helpful and responsive! The tents looked amazing and all our guests found them really comfortable and spacious!"

Outdoor breakout space
On site
Hospitality, dining and a bar, all under the same canvas.
Add-ons
Pick what the day needs.
Flooring
Dandy Dura matting. Levels uneven ground, keeps the space accessible, survives a wet week beforehand.
Lighting
Perimeter and interior festoon. Warm tone that carries the event past sunset without floodlighting it.
Heating
Patio heaters and heat lamps, which is what makes a shoulder-season date work at all.
Everything else
We will point you at the right supplier.
Tent, flooring, lighting and heating come from us. For furniture, staging, power, catering and AV we will put you on to the people we would use ourselves. We have built alongside enough of them to know who turns up when they say they will.
Often hired together
Add bell tents when the team is staying over.
Staff days and offsites that run into the evening often need beds on site rather than taxis to three different hotels. The stretch tent covers the day, bell tents cover the night, one crew delivers both.
Popup Hotels for Offsites
From £159 per tent
Bell tent villages on site when the venue cannot sleep the whole team. Beds, bedding and towels are priced separately on top.

Corporate event tent hire, asked often.
What corporate events suit a stretch tent?
Company summer parties, staff fun days, product launches, brand activations, hospitality at shows and race meetings, awards dinners, conference overflow and outdoor breakout space. Anything where you need a room that does not exist yet, on a site you already have.
Can it go on a car park or hard standing?
Yes. On grass we use steel ground anchors. On tarmac, block paving or hard standing we ballast instead, so no drilling and no damage. Tell us the surface when you enquire and we will spec the anchoring in the quote, so nobody discovers it on the day.
How many people fit?
Small (7m x 10.5m) takes 70 standing or 50 seated. Medium (10.5m x 15m) takes 150 standing or 120 seated. Large (15m x 21m) takes 300 standing or 240 seated. For cabaret rounds allow roughly 60 per cent of the seated figure, and for theatre style you can go slightly above it.
Are you insured, and can we see the certificate?
Yes, we carry public liability cover and will send the certificate with the quote if your venue or facilities team needs it on file. Just ask for it.
Can you invoice the company?
Yes. We raise a VAT invoice to the company and can put your purchase order number on it. Every price on this page is inclusive of VAT, so the figure you see is the figure that lands.
Will you do a site visit first?
On an unfamiliar site, yes. Most of the time a few photos and a pin on a map answer it faster. Send those first and we will tell you honestly whether a visit is worth anyone's morning.
What is the lead time?
Summer Saturdays go early, so for a company summer party 3 to 6 months out is comfortable. Midweek dates and shoulder season are usually much shorter notice. If your date is tight, send it anyway, we would rather tell you no quickly than leave you waiting.
What happens if the weather turns?
The event carries on. The canvas is engineered for UK weather and the low tensioned profile handles wind better than a framed marquee of the same span. We rig conservatively on exposed sites and shape the canopy to shed rain off the edges you are not using.
Do you supply power, generators or catering?
No. We hire the tent, flooring, lighting and heating. For power distribution, generators, catering and furniture we will point you at the suppliers we work alongside and would use ourselves, and we will tell you what the lighting needs so whoever supplies the power can size it.
Send us the date and the site.
Date, postcode, headcount, and what the surface is. That is enough for us to quote a real number. Quotes back within 24 hours.
