Taylor’s Tents & Events - Luxury Stretch Tent Hire in Sussex & Beyond

Based in the heart of West Sussex, Taylor’s Tents & Events is a family-run business specialising in luxury South African stretch tent hire for weddings, private parties, corporate events and unforgettable celebrations.

We believe every event deserves to be extraordinary, and our beautiful stretch tents provide the perfect setting to bring your vision to life. Offering a stylish and contemporary alternative to traditional marquees, our tents create breathtaking spaces that are both elegant and incredibly versatile.

Our premium stretch tents are manufactured by RHI in South Africa, renowned for producing some of the finest stretch tents in the world. Their unique design creates a wonderfully open and inviting atmosphere, with sweeping canopies, beautiful natural curves and flexible layouts that can be adapted to almost any setting.

Beyond the tents themselves, we offer a carefully selected range of finishing touches to transform your space, including festoon and fairy lighting, elegant dance floors, flooring and matting, outdoor heating and optional side walling to keep your guests comfortable whatever the British weather brings.

What truly sets us apart is our personal approach. As a small, family-run business, we genuinely care about every event we create. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, friendly communication, competitive pricing and going above and beyond to make every occasion special.

Based in West Sussex, we proudly provide stretch tent and marquee hire throughout Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, London and the surrounding counties.

FAQs

You don't necessarily need lots of space! Our versatile South African stretch tents can be attached to suitable buildings, allowing us to cover patios, terraces and garden areas beautifully. We can adapt our tents to suit your space, whether it's a large garden or a smaller, more unusual setting. We're always happy to arrange a site survey to explore the possibilities!

Our stretch tents can be installed on grass, patios, courtyards and hardstanding areas. We typically secure our tents using 1m ground anchors, but can also attach them to suitable buildings or use weighted ballast blocks where required. Whatever your space, we're happy to explore the best installation options!

We offer natural-style polypropylene matting, perfect for creating a comfortable and attractive surface beneath your stretch tent. We also provide beautiful black and white dance floors in various sizes, ideal for dancing the night away! Flooring can be tailored to your requirements, whether you'd like full coverage, walkways or a dedicated dance floor.

Absolutely! Our South African stretch tents can create a magical setting for winter weddings. We offer optional clear and solid side walling for additional weather protection, alongside outdoor heaters to help keep guests comfortable. Every winter installation is weather-dependent and carefully assessed for safety.

Our premium South African stretch tents are fully waterproof, providing excellent protection from rain. We also offer optional side walling for additional shelter from wind and rain. As proud MUTA members, we take safety seriously, carefully monitoring weather conditions and working closely with you should severe weather be forecast.

We offer stylish patio heaters to keep your guests warm during cooler celebrations. For fully enclosed stretch tents, we can also arrange specialist Arcotherm heating systems, providing warmth throughout the space. All heating options are assessed to ensure suitable ventilation and safe installation.

Not usually! One of the wonderful benefits of our stretch tents is their open-sided design, allowing fresh air to circulate naturally. For summer weddings, we recommend keeping the sides open wherever possible to create a beautifully airy and comfortable space.

We offer beautiful warm-white festoon and fairy lighting to create a magical atmosphere beneath our stretch tents. From elegant perimeter lighting to twinkling fairy lights overhead, we can tailor the lighting to suit your wedding style and create a stunning setting as the sun goes down!

Not necessarily! For most weddings, access to a suitable standard mains electricity supply is sufficient for our lighting. If your venue has limited power or you're planning a wedding in a remote location, we can discuss alternative arrangements. Additional equipment may require a separate power supply.

Alongside our luxury stretch tents, we offer beautiful festoon and fairy lighting, black and white dance floors, flooring, side walling and outdoor heating. We also work alongside trusted local suppliers and are always happy to recommend furniture and styling companies to help bring your wedding vision to life!

Our beautiful South African stretch tents are a stunning feature in themselves! They look incredible with hanging florals, greenery, fairy lights and elegant table styling. We offer festoon and fairy lighting to create a magical atmosphere and are always happy to work alongside your chosen florist or stylist to bring your vision to life!

We usually aim to install your stretch tent 2–4 days before your wedding, giving you plenty of time to decorate and prepare for your special day! Dismantling is typically arranged for the following day or at a mutually convenient time. We're always happy to be flexible and work around your venue's requirements wherever possible!

Our Sustainability Commitments

At Taylor’s Tents & Events, we believe beautiful celebrations can also be mindful of the environment. Our premium South African stretch tents are designed for durability and repeated use, providing a stylish and reusable alternative to temporary, single-use event structures. We take pride in investing in high-quality equipment that is built to last, maintaining our tents carefully to ensure they can be enjoyed at countless celebrations for years to come. As a family-run business based in West Sussex, we also aim to plan our deliveries and installations efficiently wherever possible, helping to minimise unnecessary journeys. We are always looking for ways to improve our practices while continuing to deliver exceptional quality and unforgettable events.

Commitment to LGBTQIA+ Couples

At Taylor’s Tents & Events, we believe love is love, and every couple deserves a wedding day that is as beautiful and unique as their story. We are proud to welcome and celebrate all couples, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. As a small, family-run business, we take a personal approach to every wedding, getting to know our couples and helping them create a setting that truly reflects who they are. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a spectacular wedding reception, we would absolutely love to be part of your special day!
