Elevate your next outdoor event with the latest addition to the Elite Event Hire collection: our Large Stretch Tent.
Whether you are planning a high-end corporate garden party, a bohemian wedding, or a premium festival, the right structure is the foundation of a successful day. While traditional marquees have their place, the modern “stretch” or “Bedouin” tent offers a contemporary, fluid aesthetic that is currently the gold standard for luxury events across the UK.
Here is why our new 12m Stretch Tent is the perfect choice for your next celebration.
1. Unmatched Versatility for Any Terrain
One of the biggest challenges with event planning in Yorkshire and beyond is finding a level surface. Standard marquees often require flat, clear ground. However, our Stretch Tents are engineered from high-tech, flexible fabric.
This means they can be rigged in environments where others can’t—sloped lawns, split-level gardens, or even integrated around existing trees and architecture. The organic lines of the tent create a striking visual impact that blends seamlessly with your surroundings.
2. Weather-Proof Peace of Mind
The British summer is famously unpredictable. Our large stretch tents are 100% waterproof and highly wind-resistant, ensuring your guests stay dry and comfortable regardless of the forecast.
Unlike PVC marquees, which can sometimes create a “greenhouse effect” in the heat, the breathable fabric of our stretch tent allows for maximum airflow. On a beautiful day, you can keep the sides open to enjoy the views; if the wind picks up, the sides can be configured to provide a secure, cozy sanctuary.
3. All-In-One Event Packages
At Elite Event Hire, we want to take the stress out of your planning. While you can hire the structure only, we recommend our Stretch Tent Packages for a truly seamless experience.
Starting from £2500, our introductory package includes:
- Flooring: Professional matted flooring for a solid, stylish foundation.
- FurnitureFurniture Hire: Our popular rustic farmhouse tables and elegant cross-back chairs.
- Entertainment: A high-quality parquet dance floor.
- Ambiance: Professional-grade fairy lighting throughout.
4. Tailored to Your Guest List
Our 12m stretch tent is incredibly adaptable to your guest numbers. Here are a few popular layouts:
- The Cocktail Party: Accommodates up to 120 guests with a 2m rustic bar, poseur tables, and bar stools.
- The Sit-Down Dinner: Comfortably seats 70 guests using 6ft round tables and chairs.
If you need even more space or a different aesthetic, you can always pair your tent with our Hex Marquees or even our signature 40ft Wedding Yurts.
