About us

The largest collection of unique marquees in the UK

Our story

It began with a search, and a truck from Morocco

When founder Katherine Hudson searched the UK for distinctive party tents, she found only standard white PVC marquees. Spotting the gap, she travelled to Morocco to source something far more beautiful, and her very first marquee famously came home on the roof of an army truck.

As Katherine created more tented events, her vision expanded: she designed custom marquee linings and curated the furnishings, cushions, ornaments, feathers, candles and lanterns, that give each interior its character.

Our team

Creative, skilled and a little bit obsessed with detail

Today we hold the largest collection of unique marquees in the UK, with a wonderful team of creative and skilled marquee crew, drapers and event specialists, and a whole lot of passion and attention to detail.

We've been doing this for over fifteen years, and we still obsess over the details of every single event as though it were our own.

Sustainability

Part of the solution

Events have an environmental cost, and we want to be part of the solution. We offset all our deliveries through tree planting, recycle, reuse and repurpose, and keep our service within 100 miles of our West Sussex base. We'll happily recommend ways to drastically reduce the impact of your event, too.
