Back
We’re a family run business that loves being involved in special events. We are passionate about working with people, tents, music and being out in the great outdoors.

Grand Round Pavilion Tent

We have twelve years of event and management experience to offer to clients. Our business operates with a keen eye on our environmental, social and ethical responsibilities. See our environmental policy for more info on how we plan to reduce our carbon footprint and impact upon resources.

WE LOVE CANVAS.
Canvas tents have a long and illustrious history and inspire a feeling within people that the new uPVC shiny marquees cannot. One client came down and inhaled a great draught of air from around our vintage army tent and exclaimed, “Aaaahhhh, I love the smell of canvas. It reminds me of great times growing up and camping with my dad”. Canvas is a natural fabric, hard wearing, tough and has a pleasant buff feel to it. Our tents have been used for fashion shoot backdrops because of their canvas.

I had six honest serving men. They taught me all I knew: their names were Where and What and When and Why and How and Who.

Well, with a little help from Rudyard Kipling, we will answer the “Where and What and When and Why and How and Who” of Over The Moon Tents.

Where?

Clients like our flexibility, it can be a contrast to many hotels and indoor wedding/event venues. Over The Moon Tents is not motivated by ensuring you spend a minimum of £10K as some hotels do. Getting your own venue and having tents can be much more magical AND save you a lot of money. You can often party much later into the night. theme the look and sequence to suit you, and save yourself expensive corkage on drinks by organising your own bar. Over The Moon Tents can provide clients who will testify to our ability. Contact us if you would like to speak to a refererence.

How
Bookings start with a look through our services and tents available on the website. The site is packed with photos, video’s, music and news to give a good overview of what tents we can offer. The next stage is to call us or email to tell us what you are interested in. We are happy to chat and discuss client’s plans.

Following this there may be a site visit and then a quote can be prepared. All quotes are clearly itemised and sent promptly. If all is agreeable to both parties then a 25% of the total hire fee will book Over The Moon Tents. The remaining 75% is payable two weeks prior to the event. Tents are usually erected one to two days prior to the event and removed within three days after.
Who
At its heart Over The Moon Tents is a family based business. James, Jackie and Bob Parker cover everything from sales, admin, marketing, crewing and maintenance. We work closely with other related businesses such as Intent Productions UK and Tipis4Hire, and have a team of part time staff who augment our crew when required.

India and particularly the desert state of Rajasthan has always had a special nomadic tent culture. Whole tented cities were sometimes erected for royal weddings, special celebrations, durbars and hunting expeditions.

In 1903 one of the most lavish and extensive examples of tented camps was set up in Delhi for the Coronation Durbar accommodating an astonishing twelve thousand, nine hundred and eighty-three persons! The Viceregal camp was superbly equipped with every comfort and luxury, with exquisitely presented camps from all the different Princely States and neighbouring kingdoms displaying the finest examples of local craftsmanship and materials.

“We had a severe wind and rainstorm early November, and then a tremendous windstorm a few weeks later, both of which caused much damage in the area. There were trees down, power out, barn doors and roofing blown off, and sheds blown down. The Shasta Shelter withstood all of this without budging and without damage, and just kept on doing its job. It has really proved itself to me!”

“From the development and engineering phase to the final installation we were thoroughly impressed with Creative Tents’ efficiency in expediting this multifaceted project. It was amazing to see how quickly and safely the installation process progressed, given the size and complexity of our 120’ x 210’ and two 6’ round structures.

“After doing some research we narrowed our choices down to two different companies. We like to try and buy locally and we ultimately made the decision to do just that. After three weeks our tent pretty much fell apart. That’s when we gave Creative Tent a call.”

Most models have high a ceiling with a maximum height of 80″ (On the Weathermaster edition) which means a six and a half foot person can stand comfortably inside. The larger models come with separate sections, vestibules, and even screened in porch areas.

If you want some extra features, try a hinged door or built in lights. You can commune with nature without having to rough it too much. These features are found on some of the larger Coleman Camping tents in the Evanston, Montana, and Weathermaster tents. Coleman Camping tents have the features that the experienced or novice campers are looking for.

About Us

We are mad about camping, we go away somewhere different every year.  Last year we were at Devon and the year before that we went to the North of Scotland.  We started with a small tent just for the 2 of us and then loved it so much we bought a larger tent when the family came along.  Our daughters were only 9 months when they were first introduced to camping and love the freedom it brings them.  Now we have everything from the tent to a heater and a clothes airer, we even enjoy it when its raining – you just have to make the most of it.

Tent Hire > Picture This

You have 200 guests gathered in 3 of our Stratus 72 Kata’s, joined together to create a single tent.  The sun is setting, the band is in full swing and people are grooving on the dance floor.  Across the tent people are chatting at the bar whilst others linger by the open fire…yes… inside the tent!

Attached to the Stratus 72’s is one of our smaller Cirrus 40 tents.  The lights are low, the candles are flickering and guests are chilling out on bean bag’s and giant cushions.

As the night draws to a close people retire to their individual sleeping tents, in the tipi village we’ve created for you across the field.

This is just one scenario.  Our tents allow your imagination to run wild.

Tangerine Fields

Welcome to Tangerine Fields
We have created Tangerine Fields because we know that, rain or shine, festivals are
all about great music, great friends and great times, not faffing about with tent poles.

Tangerine Fields are now at most UK festivals with their tent hire and pitch service
and make the camping extra special and ultra easy. All you have to do is book your
tent in advance through our booking page and carry your beer/children on the day.
We’ll meet you at the festival with a ready pitched tent
We have 2, 4 and 6 man tents (we use roomy tents so you won’t feel squashed in),
and we’ll provide you with airbeds and new sleeping bags, which go onto a number
of local and national homeless charities after use.  We can also provide camping
stoves and kettles.

Once you’re in, we let you get on with dancing and drinking, then come hometime
we’ll wave goodbye to you before taking down the tent and packing away the beds
leaving you to head home for a proper cup of tea and some well earned early nights.
If you choose to book in a group with friends, we can guarantee a great spot where
you’re all camped together. We set up in 2003 and with the help of some great
customers, we’ve learnt a lot about making your time with us extra special and we
want to continue getting it right, so any thoughts or feedback is very welcome.

As well as providing a service at the UK festivals, we can offer bespoke camping and
event services, so if you’re looking to arrange something special for a large group,
give us a call.

Doing the Outdoors Right with a Camping Air Mattress

Jul 2
6:40

If you’re a fan of camping (of course you are) then you know that it’s an unpredictable pastime. Warm sun, gentle breezes, bird song and sleeping under the stars breathing fresh air is the intent but not always the result. Equipment failure, cold ground, bugs and tempestuous weather are what we sometimes get. The only sure way to avoid the bad that sometimes comes in lieu of the good would be to stay home. But then, who would keep the tics, spiders, snakes and poison ivy company?

For some folks, that stuff is what turns a trip to the outdoors into something memorable worth talking about. These folks are happy as long as they aren’t eaten by a bear (mild mauling acceptable providing it contributes to a good after-story). They’re as content to eat grubs and roots as they would be to eat steak and potatoes; arguably happier, as the former menu option places them more in the experience. Of course, we’re not all masochists.

The polar opposite of the people who like a bit of dengue fever, F4 tornados, white-out blizzard conditions and one wet match and a roll of duct tape to get by on are the urban campers. These are the folks who include an RV in their camping supplies. Nothing says roughing it like a luxuriously appointed fiberglass shell traveling at an oh-so-green 12 miles per gallon from one destination to another in order to share the, um, wilderness experience with 40 strangers. The only things that can ruin the great outdoors experience for these folks is poor satellite TV reception and a shortage of hot, running water. Can you blame them? Who wants to miss an episode of Survivor or I’m a Celebrity, be Disgusted (name changed to more accurately reflect content)? After all, why immerse yourself fully in nature when the flat screen TV mounted on your camper’s wall can simulate the environment you’re currently parked in?

So there are your fringes, but what about those of us in the middle? Well, if you’re like me, you try to find a balance between being removed from all that electric beeping nonsense that seems to dominate our daily lives but not quite auditioning to be a Bear Grylls stand-in. You don’t need the RV, but you won’t turn your nose up at a tent that doesn’t leak. You accept that there will be bugs, but you include a small bottle of insect repellent in your backpack. You left the goose-liver pate at home but allowed for some high-end perishables at the start of the trip before you’ll be forced to turn to your freeze-dried edibles. You may have even packed a couple beers. Your mileage may vary.

For us “tweeners,” there’s a comfortable spot between tortured and pampered. The criteria is usually pretty simple. If you can carry it in on your back, it’s fair game. That means being pretty selective about what amenities are of sufficient importance to haul so many of us have narrowed down our list of absolute must-haves. Mine can be summed up as great food and great sleep.

The good food part is actually easy to accomplish. I cheat. I always try to go camping with my buddy who happens to be a chef who missed his calling in life. This guy could turn week-old road-kill into something palatable if he set his mind to it. The second part, great sleep, requires me to actually haul something; an air mattress bed.

Now, I’m not talking about having a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed air lifted to our planned camp site or anything. Mind you, I own one and if it were in the budget, I might try to find a way to get it there. But money isn’t that plentiful, unfortunately. What I am talking about is a self-inflating camping air mattress. If it were up to me, the guy or gal who invented these things would be up for a Nobel Prize.

Back in the day (yes, I’m old enough to say that) a cozy night sleeping on the ground meant a comfortable sleeping pad. It was neither cozy nor comfortable. At best, every sleeping pad I used kept the worst of the discomfort away but never failed to leave me with something poking me in the ribs or shoulders regardless how diligent I was in my ground clearing effort. We called them better-than-nothing pads. The first air mattresses for camping were little better but came with the bonus of being bulkier and prone to puncturing or deflating.

As it tends to do, technology moves forward and, today, we have modern air mattresses for camping that are light years ahead of those first efforts. Today’s air beds are made of astoundingly durable materials. Even better, they are almost entirely self-inflating, though I still add one or two lungs full of air to them for that extra plush feel. Despite the comfort they afford, these beds also compact down to as small a size as their foam counterparts. Perhaps most important, they are substantially more comfortable than foam models which can compress to virtual uselessness through the night which entirely defeats their purpose.

Variety and luxury are the name of the game with modern air mattresses, making them a wonderful option for even the most discerning of campers (you RVers know who you are). Whether you’re camping out of the back of a pickup truck, an SUV or need a guest bed for your maid, there’s a cozy air mattress bed out there for you. Custom styles are made to fit a variety of trucks and SUVs, allow you to stay off the cold ground on 4, 6 or even 8 inches of comfortable air.

But there are always going to be those folks who frown on air mattresses. The hard men and women of the camping world would prefer to sleep, as nature intended, on the cold hard ground. They are welcome to it. In fact, they are welcome to go camping with me. Should some rabid critter attack in the middle of the night it will have two potential meals from which to choose; a spry and well-rested air mattress bed sleeper and a groggy, sore and slow-to respond tough guy/gal. Guess who wins in that equation. But, hey, they’ll have great scars to show off if they make it home to tell the story, right?
