A stretch tent is a flexible, high-tensile canopy that is rigged over poles and anchored to create a stylish, weatherproof cover for any event. Stretch tents are adaptable to irregular spaces, slopes and unusual site features, giving you greater design freedom.

Brands We've Worked With
Stretch tent hire is priced on size, season, site conditions and the length of your hire. We don’t publish exact figures because every event is bespoke, but we share a tailored, itemised quote within 24 hours of an enquiry. Get in touch with your event details and we’ll come back with numbers.
Exact pricing varies however faster install times and less reliance on heavy framing generally results in a more cost-effective setup.
Yes, we cover the UK from our Kingston upon Thames base. London, Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent, Berkshire and Oxfordshire are within our standard radius; events further afield are quoted with travel and overnight crew built in.
Most weddings and summer events are booked 6-12 months ahead, especially for peak Saturdays in June, July and August. Corporate and shorter-notice events can often be turned around in a few weeks if dates are open. Get in touch as early as you can and we’ll let you know what’s available.
Your perfect setup depends on your specific needs:
-
Number of guests – Ensuring everyone has plenty of room to move.
-
Event type – Space requirements change for seated dinners, standing receptions, or dance floors.
-
Sides up or down – Rigging the sides “up” creates an open canopy with maximum space. Rigging the sides “down” provides total weather protection but reduces the usable area around the edges.
-
Furniture and space requirements – Factoring in bars, stages, and buffet areas.
We recommend chatting to the team to confirm the ideal size and layout for your event.
Stretch tents are fantastic year-round structures. In colder conditions, we keep your guests comfortable by using a combination of:
-
Sides Down Rigging – We can rig the sides of the tent to the ground to block wind and trap heat, creating a cozy, enclosed environment.
-
Effective Heating – We provide powerful, discreet heaters, chat to us about the best additional heating options we have to meet your event needs.
-
Internal Layout – By adding flooring we can further insulate the space and prevent draughts.
Pro Tip – If you are planning a winter event, we recommend chatting to us early so we can plan the best rigging style for maximum warmth.
Yes absolutely! We have in-house designers who can paint a picture of your event before it happens. Our process includes:
-
Site Surveys – We visit your venue to take precise measurements and assess the ground.
-
3D Renderings – We create detailed 3D and/or 2D layouts so you can visualise exactly how your tent, furniture, and lighting will fit.
-
Custom Branding: For corporate events, we can even incorporate custom colours and logo printing into the design.
This ensures your layout flows perfectly, whatever configuration or design you go for.
Most enquiries are picked up by Hannah in our office, who’ll handle your quote, site visit and booking confirmation. Hannah covers technical and design questions, and you’ll meet whichever crew member is leading your install closer to the day.
We aim to come back within one working day with a tailored quote, sometimes faster. If you need an answer same-day, mention it in your enquiry and we’ll prioritise.
Quotes are typically valid for 30 days. After that we may need to reissue if costs or availability change. Confirm earlier if your dates are peak season (June-August).
