New bigger festival style marquee lands from USA
Long awaited, much anticipated, our bigger festival style marquee is finally here! We’ve had a new roof extension manufactured for our striking blue Festival tent, a TopTec Epic, made in the USA. It now allows us to put this tent up as a 40x40ft or 40x60ft structure, allowing a greater range of uses. Already booked for several festivals this season, as well the upcoming Home Group annual event, we can’t wait to show it off around the country this year. […]

Kate and Dans Hilltop Wedding Marquee
We love a chilled out bride! Kate only got in touch with us for the first time a couple of months before the big day, luckily we had no big jobs booked in for that weekend, so we set about providing a wedding marquee for her and 120 friends and family.

We set a 30x30ft frame tent on the beautifully flat lawn of the family […]
Reclaim the Power Climate Camp
We think of ourselves as committed environmentalists, and are frankly terrified by the general lack of progress towards fighting climate change. As such, we are delighted, whenever we are able, to support green groups, events and gatherings, such as Reclaim, next to Didcot Power station (In May 2015). We provided the main structures for this impressive camp, where several hundred people all came together to create a working village, with renewable […]
