This is our most popular style of hire marquee because it is so adaptable. 'Clearspan' is another word for frame marquee and means there are no inner poles or guy ropes. It can be erected on grass and hard surfaces and the fitting options are endless with panoramic windows, clear roofs and gables, hexagonal gable ends, entrance tents, verandas, starlight ceilings, lighting effects and much more.

Oakleaf offer five different clearspan widths which enables us to provide the ideal space for your site and guest numbers. We can also join clearspan marquees together to create interesting layouts, walkways, chill-out, bar and reception areas.

The Sailcloth Tent

Capacity: 220 seated or 560 standing

The beautiful and stylish 'Aurora' sailcloth tent as seen at countless exclusive weddings throughout The Hamptons, Californian Vineyards and New England.  

Features of this eye-catching structure are the 8ft window height as opposed to the standard 7ft on most traditional pole marquees. This maximises views and allows daylight to fill the interior. The unique sailcloth canvas makes the interior light and airy by day and radiates a warm glow at night.

The sailcloth tent is oval shaped thanks to its rounded ends and the poles are octagonal wood which give it a rustic country feel without losing its air of elegance and sophistication. Flags on the pole tops are a nod to the nautical roots of the canvas.

The Tipi

Capacity: 400 seated or 600 standing
Width: Big Hat 10.3m (sides down), 13m (sides up)

For those seeking something a little unconventional look no further than our event tipis. Inspired by the Nomadic tribes of the Great Plains of North America and the Sami people of Northern Scandinavia, the design has been enlarged and made durable and weatherproof for events all year round.

One tipi can standalone for an intimate gathering or you can interlink several to create an event space for hundreds of guests. In summer, tipis can be configured 'sides up' to take in views and a cooling breeze. In winter, tipi events can be cosy like no other structure with real fires thanks to ingenious 'smoke flaps'. 

We offer a wide range of accessories to complement our stunning tipis: solid wood benches and trestle tables, faux animal furs, open fireplaces, wood burning stoves, rustic bar counters and subtle lighting. Our smaller baby tipis can be fitted with beds for glamping or soft furniture for chill-out areas.

Width: 3m (10ft), 5m (16.5ft) and 6m (20ft)
Length: 3m (10ft), 5m (16.5ft) and 6m (20ft)

Oriental canopies (also known as 'Chinese hats' or 'pagodas') are visually impressive structures which work well as entrance porches, bars, chill-out areas, drinks tents or joined to several canopies to create a 'village' effect.

The Stretch Tent

Capacity: infinite as tents can be joined together
Width: 6m or 10m (30ft)
Length: 6m or 15m (40ft)
Picture
Our stretch tents are ideal for covering wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and chill-out areas. As the name implies, the canvas is stretchy which enables us to position the interior wooden poles wherever required. It's therefore a very flexible and adaptable structure that can be made to work in virtually any scenario. Stretch tents can be provided at short notice to cover ceremonies if the weather forecast heads south.
