What is Serai Tent
Our marquee is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, built in Norfolk by Steve Highton, an award-winning architectural designer.
Breathtakingly beautiful inside and out, it has a soaring oak frame with stunning cotton canvas covers. The beauty, build-quality and materials are what truly sets Serai Tent apart.
Serai Tent is circular in form – or sixteen-sided to be exact, with a diameter of 14 metres, and a total area of coverage of 159 square metres. The capacity is 160 seated, or 250 standing.
What you can do with Serai Tent
Serai Tent creates a magical and inspirational space for events and celebrations of all kinds. It has hosted wonderful weddings and parties, and is often to be seen at the Glastonbury Festival where it excels as a luxurious cocktail bar.
It can be used for anything from parties to corporate events, launches, performances and shows, or indeed any event where marquee hire is required.
Serai Tent has a highly versatile design which allows it to be used open on all sides, or partially or completely enclosed within its exquisite canvas covers.
Add-on ‘satellite’ tents can be easily included as part of your event package, to expand functionality.
We can also provide flooring and festoon lighting to suit your needs, and the oak structure allows for a wide choice of hanging floral decorations.

About us
Who we are
Alice and Steve are the father and daughter team behind the amazing Serai Tent.
Alice came up with the first creative spark for the project; she then assisted throughout the entire design and manufacture process. Steve has long experience in architectural design and traditional timber working, and he was personally involved in every detail of the design, production and creation of Serai Tent.
Special mention should go to our highly skilled and much valued construction crew. It takes them eight to ten hours to put up the tent, and five hours to take down.
Materials and Craftspeople
Air dried English oak is the structural heart of Serai Tent, and it was all sourced from within Norfolk and Suffolk. Steve and his team of craftspeople used this beautiful timber to make all the component parts for this extraordinary structure.
The covers are made from a fine quality heavy cotton canvas. Our wonderful sailmakers created a perfectly fitting result for us; they are keeping the ancient skills of this craft alive for future generations.
Internal rigging lines and fittings are of brass and marine grade stainless steel, and they underpin the structural integrity of Serai Tent with a perfect blend of form and function.
