EVENTS UNDER CANVAS SHOWCASE EVENT 2025

what to expect

Events Under Canvas Marquee and Tipi Showcase

Saturday 26 April 2025
11am – 3pm

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 see how a Stretch Tent hosts a ceremony? Then this is a diary date not to miss.

On Saturday 26 April 2025, in 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 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. Some of the highlights will be:

  • Foraged, natural styling from event planners Human Nature in the medium Sailcloth tent
  • Amazing food samples from outside caterers Stour Valley Catering and JP’s Kitchen
  • Fantastic styling displays in our 4 joined Tipis from Starry Eyed Events
  • Inspirational furniture-to-hire collections in our Stretch Tent from Stories Event Hire
  • We also invite a number of specialist wedding and event suppliers to showcase their businesses, and allow you a chance to chat to them and be inspired for your own event.

ENTRY – FREE

Everyone welcome including children and dogs.

Talk to our event planners across the weekend

Our Events Under Canvas planners will be available across the weekend to talk to you about your event and all the marquees and suppliers that you see and meet. So come armed with questions and take as many photos as you want to ensure you walk away inspired for your own event.

It’s going to be SPECTACULAR.
