About Shades Canvas

Shades was founded in 2009 initially hiring traditional canvas tents across the North of England.  Now years later and much about us has changed! We work throughout the UK and over the past few years the company has grown rapidly. We add to our marquee portfolio on a regular basis, and are always extending our range of furniture, bars and accessories (much of which is hand made by Paul and the team).

When we started, our marquees were more Indian in style.  However, over the years we have been led by customer requests and now have a diverse range of tents, centred around our hugely popular Aurora Sailcloth marquees. Summer 2019 saw our Grand Pavilion marquee retire to a Chateau in the South of France to make way for our new range of Stretch Tents.

Whilst our tents and accessories are always expanding and developing, our core values remain the same. We value the personal touch, we understand how important your event is, and we will always deliver high quality service and marquees at a reasonable price.
