Sailcloth Tents vs Tipis

Sailcloth Tents vs Tipis When beginning to plan your marquee wedding, there are so many different styles of marquees to choose from that it can be hard to know where to start. Twenty years ago the choice of marquees available was fairly stark. It was either a traditional pole marquee with a frilly lining or a modern aluminium and PVC structure. Both had their uses but they also required plenty of imagination and effort to transform them into warm, welcoming [...]

Something about the Nomad caught our eye – these stretch tents [...]

Testimonials

Linton
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for all the work that went into providing us with a ‘leaf-free’ Raj tent for our wedding weekend. We thought it looked fantastic and it certainly came in handy over both days providing our guests with some much-needed shade (who would have thought it!). Really appreciate all the extra attention that was paid with putting up and taking down the side-walls to ensure it stayed pristine so thank you once again Raj Tent Wedding
