Planning a Garden Square event in Central London? Our marquee hire service allows residents to host elegant outdoor gatherings without worrying about the unpredictable British weather. Whether it’s a private celebration or a community event, our shelters help you make the most of your Garden Square. For Garden Committees, our service also offers a tasteful way to raise additional funds through well-managed, weatherproof events.
Years of experience working in London’s Garden Squares have taught us just how important careful event management is. Irresponsible or poorly planned events can cause lasting damage to lawns, plants, and services buried underground. Our team is committed to protecting these cherished spaces by ensuring every aspect of the event—from delivery to dismantling—is handled with professionalism and respect.
Providing non-invasive marquee shelters is at the heart of our service. We take the utmost care during installation and removal to avoid damaging the garden, underground services, or surrounding infrastructure. Whether you’re planning a wedding, reception, or community function, our Garden Square marquee hire ensures both elegance and environmental sensitivity.
Traditional marquees offer solid, formal shelter for outdoor events, but they come with significant drawbacks—especially in the unique setting of Central London Garden Squares. They are often noisy and disruptive to erect and dismantle, requiring more time, machinery, and manpower than many sites can easily accommodate. For short events or community functions, they can also be disproportionately expensive, both in hire cost and impact on the space.
Stretch tents—also known as hump tents—provide a flexible and unobtrusive alternative for Garden Square events. Quick to install and relatively quiet to handle, they are ideal for residential areas where noise and disruption must be kept to a minimum. Their elegant high peaks and open-sided design allow for excellent airflow, reducing heat and humidity build-up under the canopy. This not only keeps guests more comfortable but also helps protect lawns and planting from the stress caused by trapped heat and condensation.
Our largest stretch marquee measures 20 metres in length, 8.6 metres in width, and stands up to 4.5 metres tall—delivering over 75 square metres of effective weather protection. Should the British summer take a turn, this coverage allows upto 60 guests to stay dry and continue enjoying the event in comfort. Whether you’re planning a summer party, AGM, or fundraiser, our stretch tent hire in Central London ensures your Garden Square gathering is both beautiful and weatherproof.
In keeping with our garden-centric approach, we provide a specialised grass-protective mesh designed to safeguard your lawn without compromising its natural appearance. This breathable mesh allows the grass beneath to stay healthy, while preventing the inevitable foot traffic under the stretch tent or marquee from turning the area into a trampled, muddy mess. Perfect for Garden Square events in Central London, it offers discreet but highly effective protection that ensures the space remains pristine before, during, and after your gathering.
Guests benefit immediately from this subtle yet highly functional ground covering. The mesh is barely noticeable once in place, maintaining the aesthetic of a natural lawn while offering a firm, stable surface underfoot. This makes it ideal for all attendees—including those using wheelchairs or mobility aids—ensuring safe, comfortable access to the marquee or stretch tent, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. It’s an essential addition for any event prioritising both guest comfort and garden preservation.
Those familiar with Garden Square Management will likely be familiar of the sight of a Marquee contractor turning up in a Central London Garden Square and driving 80cm+ stakes into the ground with no questions asked, and zero thought as to the pipes, cables, etc that might be struck.
In the worst examples, we have seen contractors driving stakes mere inches away from High Voltage Electrical Grid cables running under a Garden Square, which on impact, would almost certainly be a fatal event.
As professional utility installers, we minimise the chance of striking underground services through a combination of factors:
