Well five weeks and no posts… it’s been so busy we haven’t had time to think let alone write…
But what we do have is a whole gang of happy customers - we’re exhausted but they have a smiles on their faces.
Two big weddings with a total of nearly four hundred people plus a 21st an 18th and a 16th all on one weekend!
And if that wasn’t enough on the Monday we had a call from Italy for a last minute birthday picnic for a Hollywood director.
Blue is his favourite colour so we ran a 150 ft long blue entryway down through the
garden to a blue yurt.
Then they all flew in from LA and as they walked down the carpet they stopped to wave at the imaginary papparazzi… fantastic!
Now that’s what we call style!
As the summer gathers pace and we take our first Christmas booking (yes!), we’re just about to see the arrival of two new tents.
First is the long-awaited 26ft yurt with red woodwork which is just stunning.
We’ve always liked the red interiors as they create such a fantastic atmosphere - and with room for 70 people to sit down to dinner or stand up to dance this yurt will fit a space in the slightly-larger-party slot.
Second is another of our Mongolian Marquees - the stretched limo of the yurt world. At 33ft long, it’s smaller than our 45 footer but it still carries over 500 sq ft of space and is every bit as impressive, every bit as cool and - dare I say it - every bit as bling as it’s bigger brother.
Lots of pics to come. Just as soon as we have a chance to put them up!!
How do people decide between yurt hire and marquee hire?
Last week we lost out to a square marquee - can’t imagine why !!
But this week we evened the score with Continue reading ‘Marquee for hire vs Yurt for hire?’

She’s a conceptual artist with very particular views of what

History says the answer was always 42. But last weekend it went up a notch. To 52!

Here’s a little shot of one of last week’s offerings for a Drama Symposium in South East London.
It was used as a cinema, a bar, a lecture room and a Continue reading ”
With the maximum number of people fitting into our biggest yurt sitting well below the hundred mark it has become clear that we need to take action.
100 seems to be the magic number for most large family Continue reading ‘Stretching a point - is that a marquee for hire?’
So. Some yurts are blue some are gold but mostly we want them all to be green. Yes?
Well we decided to see if the fact that we Continue reading ‘How green is your yurt??’
The problem with Rothko paintings is they are just so fabulously expensive. 73 million dollars at last count for just one little painting - well quite a big one actually.
So we thought as a bit of an homage to the late great Mr Rothko that we would commission four works of y-art to hang in our y-urts.
And here they Continue reading ‘Y-art for Y-urts sake.’
So, George rang this morning.
It was his 40th on Saturday which we all celebrated over chocolate cake and wine as we finished setting up his big party on Friday night.
“How did it go?” I said.
He paused.
I hate that. Continue reading ‘Good Patron’
