What’s included
Topuptents supplies wonderfully jolly marquee structures for parties and events in and around the Cotswolds.
We specialise in striped, plain canvas and PVC-covered polyester marquees that act as the centrepiece of an event, creating instant impact without feeling over-styled or generic. Everything is fully managed, from the first site check through to dismantling once the celebrations are over.
It’s a straightforward, hands-on service, delivered by people who know what they’re doing and genuinely enjoy it.
what we do
Our marquees are designed to be the heart of the party.
Whether it’s a summer gathering in a garden, an open-air celebration or a charity event, they bring colour, scale and a sense of fun to the space. We work with the setting you have, planning each layout carefully so the marquee feels right for the occasion and works practically on the day.
They’re not meant to be precious or over-designed. They’re meant to be used, enjoyed and remembered.

how it works
Topuptents was established in 2005 and has been supplying marquees for events across the UK ever since.
Originally set up by Rory Bate-Williams, his sister Rose and cousin Christopher to fund the recently imposed top-up university fees, the business grew through word of mouth and repeat bookings. Over time, it became known for providing centrepiece marquees for a wide range of occasions, from private parties to large public events, including regular contracts with Manchester City Council, the River Cottage TV series and the Olympic site in Stratford, East London.
Today, Topuptents continues as a family-run operation, supported by a trusted seasonal crew. We enjoy the variety of the work, the people we meet and the simple satisfaction of helping create memorable, jolly events that run smoothly from start to finish.
