Traditional Canvas
Vintage Romance & Timeless elegance
Our traditional canvas tents are the perfect choice for rustic, vintage-inspired English garden events. Crafted from pure canvas, these marquees possess a natural beauty that often requires no additional linings, allowing the simplicity and charm of the structure to shine. The wooden centre poles and legs are finished with delightful, old-fashioned finials, adding an extra touch of timeless character.
Paired with our classic wooden cross-backed chairs, natural coir matting, and the soft, organic touches of a florist’s artistry, these petal-scalloped canvas marquees create a setting brimming with rustic elegance — a truly enchanting backdrop for a vintage-styled celebration.
Reasons for choosing a traditional canvas marquee
Retro and classic styling is increasingly popular, and nothing captures the charm of a traditional English garden event quite like a genuine canvas marquee. Its timeless appeal evokes the romance and elegance of a bygone era, offering a truly enchanting setting for your celebration.
Choosing a simpler, traditionally styled interior allows you to achieve vintage authenticity without compromising on elegance. A pared-back canvas interior harmonises sophistication with practicality, giving your event character and charm while remaining cost-conscious.
If your event doesn’t require a Grand Pole marquee, our slightly smaller canvas petal marquee—with its timber poles and traditional finial-topped centre—offers the perfect alternative. Its graceful proportions and classic detailing provide an intimate, romantic backdrop for a memorable, rustic celebration.
