Summer 2026: Why Large Stretch Tents Are the Smart Choice for Festival Stages & Bars Across the South West
Festival season 2026 is on the horizon, and event organisers across the South West UK — from Bristol to Cornwall — are already planning how to make their stages and bars stand out. One solution that’s proving itself time and again is the large stretch tent.
At Assemble Stretch Tents, we specialise in creating beautiful, weatherproof, and versatile event spaces — and our large stretch tents are a perfect fit for festivals of every size. From intimate coastal gatherings to large-scale countryside events, these adaptable structures are the ideal way to bring your vision to life this summer.
🎪 Built for Festivals, Designed for Flexibility
Every event site is different, which is why flexibility is key. Stretch tents can be configured to fit almost any space — sloping fields, concrete courtyards, or open parkland. Whether you’re covering a main stage, designing a festival bar, or creating a VIP chill-out area, our tents mould effortlessly to your environment.
At Assemble Stretch Tents, our experienced installation team ensures your setup is not only functional but striking — perfectly pitched to enhance your event’s layout, flow, and style.
💷 Better Value for Festival Organisers
With festivals becoming more competitive each year, event budgets are under pressure. Stretch tents offer an affordable, long-term alternative to traditional marquees and rigid stage covers.
They’re quick to install, simple to dismantle, and can be reused again and again — saving you both time and money. Their stunning sculptural design also adds visual appeal, giving your festival a professional, high-end look without the premium price tag.
