what to expect

Events Under Canvas Showcase

Date TBC
12pm – 4pm

Planning an outdoor wedding or party? Want to experience what it’s like to be inside a grand Sailcloth Tent? Or want to wander around a fully set up Tipi configuration for 80 guests? Or meet over 40 inspiring event suppliers to inspire you for your big event? Then this is a diary date not to miss.

On Saturday 25 April 2026 we host our Showcase Event, at our HQ showground near Ipswich in Suffolk. We construct eight of our structures, and kit them out as if events are happening in them, so you can see these magnificent structures in all their glory.

This year at our Showcase, we’re partnering with our favourite stylists and caterers who will pair up and take over one tent each to show the best of what they can do. Food and drink will be available to sample and buy.

Some of the highlights of the Showcase day will be:

    • 30+ suppliers will be exhibiting including photographers, entertainers, decor, furniture hire, prop specialists, photo booths and posh toilets! 
    • Stylists will take over each marquee including 
    • Amazing food samples from outside caterers Hungry Hog BBQ, and JP’s Kitchen
    • Mobile food and drinks vans including R&H Pizza Bar and Tipsy Bubbles

ENTRY – FREE

Everyone welcome including children and dogs.
