British summers are unpredictable, which is why many of our clients choose to hire a stretch tent for their corporate summer party. Stretch tents provide shelter from sun or rain while keeping the open, outdoor atmosphere that makes summer events feel different from an indoor party.
They can also be decorated and styled to match your branding or theme, giving you the flexibility of an outdoor setting without compromising on presentation.
Our Event Architects arrange and set up stretch tents for corporate summer parties of all sizes, incorporating them into a range of visual designs to suit your venue and guest numbers. Stretch tents can accommodate bar areas, dining spaces, dance floors, stages and seating, making them a practical solution for larger events. Find out more about our stretch tent hire service.

Corporate Summer Party FAQs
What types of summer parties can you organise?
As passionate and experienced corporate summer party organisers, whatever ideas you have for your event, we can bring to life. Many companies choose popular ideas like festival themes, multi-activity fun days, circus and carnival events and parties with stretch marquees featuring bars, dining areas, food trucks and live performances.
Can you handle outdoor events with weather planning?
Absolutely. The majority of corporate summer parties we plan take place outdoors, with a mix of games, team building challenges and entertainment. Hiring a stretch tent/marquee is an ideal solution for a summer party, if the weather decides to be challenging. We can arrange the tents in different layouts, with options for walls to provide shelter from the wind and rain.
What entertainment options do you provide?

Corporate summer parties should be planned at least six months in advance. This gives us plenty of time to organise and book venues, entertainment, and plan all necessary infrastructure and features of your theme and the number of attendees.
Do you manage catering and drinks?
Yes. Our catering services offer a variety of delectable options to suit all tastes and preferences. From gourmet street food trucks serving up mouth-watering dishes to posh BBQS grilling premium meat and vegetables. Our expert mixologists can craft an array of bespoke cocktails and mocktails, using the freshest ingredients to create vibrant and refreshing drinks. Whether it’s three-course menus or quick bites, we provide catering and drinks services to please every taste and dietary requirement.
Can you organise team-building activities?
We love including any of our team building activities for corporate summer parties. Pick from a wide range of team building activities, including country pursuits, sports day fun, archery, our Crystal Challenge and other fun team building incentives, great for the outdoors on a beautiful summer’s day.
