Real raised bed frames available on every tent — not camp beds. Single raised frames (£15) can be arranged as a king. Memory foam mattresses (£25) available. Airbeds (£5 single, £10 double) available too if you want to keep things light.

Yes, optional. Bedding sets (13.5 tog duvet, pillow, white linen) £20 per tent. Towel sets £15.

Yes. Bell tents and stretch tents are both designed for UK weather. We pick groundsheets and rigging to handle rain.

Stretch tents are particularly wind-resilient thanks to the tensioned design. Bell tents are securely pegged. We rig conservatively in exposed venues.

Set up the day before your event, takedown the day after. You don't lift a tent peg, charge a battery, or chase a forecast.

Based in York/Malton, working nationwide. Delivery cost scales with distance. Send a postcode and date and we'll quote within 24 hours.

Up to 30 bell tents per Luton van. Larger jobs are multi-van. Festival jobs scale to 70+ tents with extended crew.

Bell tents need reasonably flat ground. Stretch tents handle uneven ground better — the tensioned canvas plus aluminium poles plus ground anchors flex around the terrain rather than forcing a rigid box onto it.

For weddings and events, we set up a private booking portal for your event. Each guest gets a private link, picks their tent, picks their package, and pays direct via Stripe. No spreadsheets, no chasing payments. Free for every event, not just weddings.

Summer Saturdays book up fast. For weddings 6-18 months out is normal. Festivals 6-12 months. Private events 1-3 months is usually fine, depending on date.

Yes — final tent count is locked 14 days before. Up to that point you can adjust packages, bed add-ons, and headcount.

Tents are weatherproof. Events go ahead. We're in the UK — most outdoor events plan for rain anyway.
