We diversify!

Weddings, parties and now funerals!
The little Vintage marquee sat very well in the stunning little church yard at Slaughterford Church.
Complete with rows of our old and rustic wooden chairs, it was perfect for extra numbers that the church could not accommodate.

More action last weekend!

As well as the wedding at Stowford Manor, our Big Top was at Bridges Court, Luckington for a wedding, and pictured below, the Pavilion sat beautifully on the decking at Wick Barn, Bradford on Avon for another wedding!

May Mayhem!

A few pictures of our lovely Essex marquee at Stowford Manor near Bradford on Avon last weekend.
We worked at Kate and Ollie's wonderful wedding and the sun shone for everyone!!

Vintage Marquees rugs and deck chairs in use..and it was actually warm enough to take the sides off the marquee!

Pom poms above, and tables ready for picnic hampers…

I would like to adopt this car..the colour and style fit so well with our 'look'!!
I feel a vintage vehicle must be the next step!

Such a great day, a lovely 'festival' atmosphere and games such as welly throwing, beer pong etc etc!!




The Aunt Sally game in action! This was a joint creative venture! Ollie explained what an Aunt Sally was to start with!! Basically a wooden dolly on a pivot post and you throw batons at it to knock the dolly off! So with batons made from old tent poles and an adapted steel pin and a modified tent wall..here we are!

Always preview first!!

This is the picture that was hidden! Less haste …!

Sarah's winter work!

 Thank you to Sarah! What a feat, hauling heavy canvases around her workshop to sew logos on to every roof and many walls! Now we are a brand!!
Also to John Collins who despite telling me that he has actually retired, was wonderfully helpful and diligent in sorting and sourcing printing for me to rather exacting specifications!

                                                   We now have toggles all round the 
                                            top of the walls of every tent so we 
                                               can hang bunting and fairy lights with ease. A nod to Nick for that suggestion, and of course to Sarah for innovative ideas, as always. A mention for David too, who has been busy sleeving poles and inventing pin pullers!! What a team!

Motley Crew!

Here we are, sporting our new Vintage Marquee fleeces! From left, David, John, myself and Josh.
The first Vintage Marquee to go up this year was erected yesterday in a gale!! 

Sunshine!

At last the sun is shining! Here I am, sewing needle in hand, loving a bit of canvas wall maintenance!

These are the walls for the new (old ) Bristol marquee which have all had a scrub and look pretty fine.

Pics of the new tent to follow as soon as David has made the main poles!
