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.

Your event gets a private booking portal. You share the one link with guests, each guest picks their tent, picks their package, and pays direct via Stripe. No spreadsheets, no chasing payments. Free for every event, not just weddings.

Yes. You can cover any portion of each tent on the portal, £100, £150, whatever you want to subsidise. Guests see the reduced price and only pay the difference plus extras. We invoice you for your contribution once bookings come in.

Yes. Guests choose their own package on the portal and add bed/bedding upgrades if they want. You can let them choose freely, or lock everyone into one package if you prefer.

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

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.
