Party Tent Hire Near You in the South East

If you’re looking to rent a tent for a party, then you’re in the right place. Whether it’s for a birthday party, family reunion, summer garden party, or anything else, Love Tipis are here to help.

A tipi, sailcloth, or stretch tent is a great alternative to a traditional party marquee, bringing a unique style and atmosphere to your event. Complete with bars, dining areas, dancefloors, stages and chill-out zones, we can decorate and furnish the space to your tastes.

A traditional canvas tipi gives a great bohemian and intimate feel to your event, and we can combine several to create a huge space for hundreds of guests. Combined with fairy lights and fire pits, the party can go on long into the night, while the sides can be opened or closed depending on the weather.

A stretch tent is a great choice for an outdoor party that offers protection from showers and welcome shade on a sunny day. Simple and versatile, they’re the perfect party tent for a range of uses. Planning something big and atmospheric? A sailcloth tent is hard to beat, especially when the sun sets and soft lighting creates a romantic hue that’s perfect for photos.

Along with our party tents and marquees for hire, we can provide all of the generators, toilet facilities, catering tents and extras to make your party complete. We offer oak barrel tables, bars, outside lighting, tables, chairs, benches, disco mirror balls, chill-out seating, fire pits and a whole lot more. We’ve been working in the party and events industry for over 10 years and have a well trusted list of suppliers including florists, caterers, luxury toilet facilities, generator suppliers, bell tents, mobile bars, fantastic venues and more.

When it comes to suppliers, we are happy to recommend someone, or we can organise all of this for you as part of your party package once your booking is confirmed. The sky’s the limit for your party and we are here to make the process as easy as possible, leaving you to enjoy yourselves without stress.

Hiring a party tent from us is super simple. Whether you have a private space in mind, or you’d like to choose one of our partner venues in the South East, we’ll work with you to understand your needs and create a package that suits you.

We have a super friendly team who are happy to walk you through the whole booking process from start to finish.

FAQs

Party and Tent Rental FAQs

How can I keep guests warm at my outdoor party?

Even in summer, the temperature can drop in the evenings, so the best way to keep your guests warm is with a party tent, marquee or tipi that can raise and lower the sides. For something extra special, we also recommend adding a couple of fire pits with blankets.

Can you put heaters in your party tents?

Yes we can! We have small heaters that can go inside our hire tents, as well as fire pits that can go outdoors.

What if it rains at my outdoor party?

We can’t change the weather, but we can make sure we give you plenty of sheltered space, outdoor flooring and walkways, and recommend places on your chosen site that drain well. If you can’t trust the British summer, choose a slightly bigger party tent so that everyone can keep warm and dry.

How should I decorate my outdoor birthday party?

There is no right answer! But we can help you decorate your chosen party tent with fairy lights, festoon lights, furniture and more. Just let us know what you’d like and we’ll see what we can do!

Julian
Catfest, 2023

“Thank you, LoveTipis, from the bottom of our hearts for the excellent service we've received from you for M&W's wedding. From first contact right through to the end, you have been amazing. You have been quick to respond to questions, contribute ideas (and tell us what we needed to know), and help with other providers such as generators, toilets, and chiller vans. Your tables, benches, chairs etc were all brilliant too.

I can't tell you how many people told us on Saturday how 'cool' the tipis were, and how lovely they looked in our setting. The dance floor stood up to the test of being full all night (even though I'd order a bigger one next time!) and we had everything we needed from you to make the wedding a huge success. I have 2 highlights: watching the canvas going up was phenomenal, but the twinkly fairy lights in the evening were literally breath taking.”

Julian Catfest, Festival Tent Hire

“Love Tipi's were truly exceptional in helping us achieve the festival wedding we'd waited so long to have!! We could not recommend them more – they were not only professional, but friendly, kind and very patient with us with last minute additions. The set up and take down teams were fantastic and the communication during the build up was brilliant. Wish we could give them more than 5 stars!”

Stephanie Lammers-Rice Festival Wedding Tipi Hire

“We honestly cannot find the words to express how beautiful our wedding day was thanks to the team at LoveTipis. The communication beforehand was thorough and timely, and the team were so patient with our many and frequent changes to table types, numbers, or layouts! Nothing was ever too much trouble. On the build day, the team were so professional and friendly – it really was incredible to watch them construct the tipis and bring our plans to life in one day. As for the tipis themselves, they are just spectacular. All our guests commented on how gorgeous the setup was and how spacious it felt, despite the fact we had nearly 140 guests! If you are considering using LoveTipis for an event, just go for it. You absolutely won’t regret it.”

Emily Davitt Wedding Tipi Hire

“LoveTipis were amazing for our wedding. They were responsive in the months leading up to our wedding and on the day just got on with it and set up exactly how we had agreed. Not only were the tipis stunning but we also used their magnificent, 7 reclaimed wood 8-seater tables, as well as chairs, stage, dancefloor, fairy lights and uplighters. The catering tent was also spacious. LoveTipis also facilitated a nice outdoor toilet from a 3rd party without any problems whatsoever. ”

Alan Creswell Wedding Tipi Hire

“Stewart and his team set up 3 tipis for our wedding on Telscombe Tye. The team worked so hard to make our day perfect and were on hand 24 hours a day to help with any issues. The tipis looked amazing and stood up to the weather conditions we had the day before and after the wedding. Thank you for all your hard work to make our day so special.”
