Why a stretch tent
Your garden, but a venue.
There's no venue to hire, no last-orders, and nobody's booking a taxi at midnight. A stretch tent puts the party where you actually want it, at home, with room for dining, dancing and a bar, with shelter from the rain. The canvas shapes to your garden, anchors against the house and wraps around trees.
Shelter from the rain
Waterproof canvas gives your guests cover. We check the forecast and site exposure, and explain the weather limits for your setup.
Shapes to your garden
No rigid frame, so the canvas fits around trees, against the house, even on a slope.
Cost-effective
From £995 inc VAT with setup and takedown included, it costs less than it looks.

Furniture & styling

Often hired together
Add bell tents so guests can stay over.
A stretch tent handles the party; bell tents handle the sleepover. Hosts often pair the two for milestone birthdays and family weekends, so nobody has to book taxis and the celebration carries on to breakfast.
Bell Tents for Guests
From £159 per tent
5m bell tents that sleep up to 4, with real beds available. Three packages from unfurnished to fully styled, set up next to the party.

Common questions
What kind of parties suit a stretch tent?
Milestone birthdays (40ths, 50ths, 60ths), garden parties, big family BBQs, anniversary dinners, reunions and corporate summer parties. If the plan is people in a garden or a field with food, drink and music, a stretch tent turns it into a proper venue.
Will a stretch tent fit in my garden?
Often, yes. Our Small (7m × 10.5m) fits a generous lawn, and because there is no rigid frame we can anchor the canvas against your house, wrap it around trees, or shape it to an awkward plot. Send a photo of the space and we will tell you straight away what works.
How many guests fit under a stretch tent?
Our Small (7m × 10.5m) holds 70 standing, seats 50, or 35 at round tables. Our Medium (10.5m × 15m) holds 150 standing, seats 120, or 75-90 at round tables.
How is a stretch tent different from a marquee?
A marquee is a rigid aluminium-frame box with vertical walls. A stretch tent has no frame, just tensioned canvas held up by aluminium poles and pegged at multiple anchor points. It shapes to your garden and looks sculptural rather than corporate.
What happens if it rains?
The canvas provides shelter from rain. We check the site and forecast, and explain any weather restrictions for your setup. Severe weather may mean changing the plans or taking the tent down.
Can stretch tents go on uneven ground?
Yes. The tensioned, ground-anchored design adapts to undulating ground better than a marquee. We can add Dandy Dura matting. Send photos so we can check the ground and flooring needs.
Do you provide furniture, tables and chairs?
Trestle tables and bench seating come from us, sets that seat 8 to 10, delivered and set up with the tent, along with the flooring, lighting and heating. For lounge furniture, dance floors and styling we will put you on to the people we would use ourselves.
What add-ons can we have?
The most popular is the £350 bundle: Dandy Dura matting plus warm festoon lighting inside and out. We also offer patio heaters and heat lamps to keep the party going into the evening.
How far in advance should we book?
Summer Saturdays book up fast. For a big milestone party 3-6 months out is comfortable. Smaller gatherings 1-3 months is usually fine. Send your date and postcode and we will confirm.
