1. Round Bar
Our statement round bar is big, bold and beautiful! Handcrafted with a classic white-wash and finished with an oak top, it’s a fabulous addition to our canvas and timber pole marquees and complements the aesthetic perfectly.
Standing gloriously around our king poles, it lends itself to be lavishly decorated beneath a floral hoop or a decor instalment. For those with 100+ guests, the grandeur offers a huge space for a well-stocked bar and makes for a stylish social space when set-up with our wooden cross-back bar stools.
With ample space for fridges, a selection of pumps and bottle displays, the round bar is for those who really want to really want to party!

2. Outdoor Gin Bar
Add a little fun to your refreshments with an outdoor gin reception – for those who want to get a little creative, this is a great opportunity to think outside the box. From antique sideboards, to vintage car bonnets why not invite your guests to help themselves to a variety of delicious gins and botanical flavourings at a DIY parlour? With a decorative gin bar, you can really be inventive and provide a memorable boozing experience for your guests!

For an intimate marquee wedding, our rustic bar offers a stylish space to serve your family and friends. Compact, with room for a pump or two, our pallet bar with a reclaimed timber top can be styled with florals, fairylights or neon lighting to create an atmospheric, rustic serving space with a pub-like feel.
