Frequently asked
Up to 260 guests, depending on your dining preferences and how you'd like the space laid out.
The minimum space you'll need is 4.5m × 4.5m, allowing roughly two metres around every side for the guide ropes. The ground should be reasonably level; we can also install on hard standing using eye bolts.
The Purple Palace takes around 1 day to set up. Smaller tents can take a matter of hours, while larger configurations may need a little longer.
Yes. The exteriors are made from high-quality cotton canvas which is regularly waterproofed throughout the season. For exposed sites we recommend additional internal poles, and they perform happily in winds of up to around 30 mph.
Yes, our tents are easily heated. Their vented, elevated ceilings are designed to provide shade on a hot day, so we simply add heating for cooler dates.
The following day, usually the Sunday after a weekend event.
Yes, we always require power. Most of our lighting runs from a domestic 13-amp supply or a generator, and weatherproof cabling is included.
It varies with size, configuration and furnishings. See the worked examples above for a guide to what's possible.
