Premium Stretch Tent Hire and Marquee Alternatives in Cardiff for Weddings, Celebrations and Corporate Events

Planning an outdoor event in Cardiff requires the perfect balance of style, practicality, and preparation for the ever-changing Welsh weather.

Whatever the terrain and the weather, we can put up a marquee that will guarantee to provide a stylish shelter for all guests invited.

Stylish, Versatile Stretch Tents

One of the major benefits that stretch tents have over traditional marquees is their versatility. Made to measure for the plot and the space available, stretch tents can be pitched up at trickier spots on uneven terrain. Shape and layout can be adjusted to fit your needs as our stretch tents are modular… and you don’t just need to have one tent.

Natural Aesthetic

We do our utmost to create a natural, outdoorsy vibe with our stretch tents. If you’ve looking for a festival atmosphere, our tents deliver. We use sustainable materials including silver birch, ash and bamboo supports for the central pillars. Our hessian matts also add to the festival feel, creating a comfortably contained space in the outdoors without losing the natural touch.

Experienced Event Professionals

The team at Prickly Pear have worked on over 700 events since 2015 with 100% completion rate. Our tents have had use across a wide scope of events, from cosy weddings to large scale festivals.

Tailored Setups & Packages

We include layout maps so you’re fully briefed on the logistics of the outdoor structure. All the setup is provided and our team will work closely with your ground team.

All-Weather Protection

Stretch tents are designed to be durable during inclement weather. With the British weather being as unpredictable as it is, having a reliable cover for an outdoor event is a must. Our tents provide ample protection from the rain and the wind, giving plenty of shade during the hot summer days.

1. Initial Quotation

Our initial quote is based on as much information you can provide us upfront. For larger events where we need to visit, we’ll provide a clearer quotation once we’ve measured up.

We prefer to visit the venue to measure up before setting up so we can map things out clearly. Once we have a good picture of how many tents will be needed, the sort of setup, any additional extras and decorations, we can provide you with an itemised quotation.

3. Setup

Depending on the event, we’ll be on site to pitch up and arrange any extras that you’ve sorted through us. Sometimes, we’ll be a day or two early. It depends entirely on the event.

4. Packing up

At the end of the event, we’ll be there to take the tents down and pack up. A member of our team will always be available during the event. Included in our service is hands-on maintenance in case of high winds and stormy weather.
