Are you holding your own Winter festival? Or are you a vendor needing cover for your stall this Christmas festival season? Stretch tents offer the perfect mix between functionality and aesthetic, allowing you to both cover your stall (and have room for seating!), as well as stand out from the rest of the usual white marquees that litter these types of fairs.
If you are holding your own Christmas fair, why not consider using stretch tents to cover your vendors? Stretch tents come in a variety of different colours, allowing you to create a magical festival style fair for your winter market. Stretch tents also come in a range of sizes, allowing you to accommodate small and large stalls alike! The options of attaching sides to your stretch tent, or bringing the sides of the canvas lower to the ground mitigate the effects of the winter breeze and keeps everyone warm and cozy inside!
Here at Stretch and Tents we also offer full production, including flooring, lighting and furniture, so if it’s the magical twinkle of a thousand fairy lights, or simply functional seating for your customers, look no further!
