What Tentstyle Ltd does

Tentstyle Ltd is a privately held UK company specialising in the manufacture, hire, and installation of stretch tents and stretch marquees for events and hospitality venues. Founded in 2009 and based in Billingshurst, West Sussex with a registered office in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, the company operates with a headcount of 1-10 employees and holds an inventory of 50 tents in stock plus access to 120+ tents in group stock covering 18,000 square metres. The product line centres on proprietary stretch tent fabric technology offering 100% waterproofing, breathable UV-resistant material, and bespoke manufacturing for irregular shapes including curves, L-shapes, and installations on uneven terrain.

Revenue is generated across four streams: short-term and long-term stretch tent hire for weddings, festivals, corporate events, and private parties; outright sale of new bespoke and ex-hire tents; annual managed service packages covering storage, cleaning, and rigging for business owners; and bundled rental of accessories such as flooring, lighting, furniture, and power. Pricing for small tents starts at approximately £1,250+VAT, with bespoke and enterprise installations quoted on application. The company distributes through direct-to-consumer channels including website enquiries, phone, email, and on-site surveys, primarily targeting private event consumers, SMBs, and enterprise hospitality and festival clients across the South East of England and the wider UK.

The customer portfolio spans private weddings and garden parties, corporate events, festivals including multi-year work with Black Deer Festival, and hospitality installations for venues such as Ynyshir Michelin-star restaurant, Staverton Nursery, and The Hobgoblin Brighton. Marketing is executed through organic search, content marketing via case studies and a blog, and reputation management anchored by 90+ five-star Google reviews. The company maintains recommended venue partnerships with six UK venue operators and operates an event-type segmented product line covering weddings, festivals, corporate events, garden parties, and pub and restaurant installations.
