We specialise in renting small to medium big top style marquees.
Our colourful circus tents are amongst the most magnificent in the UK.  
We’ve got baby big tops small enough to fit in a garden: great for your birthday parties!
And we’ve got big big tops that can cater for hundreds of people at festivals and other events.
We can decorate and equip the tents to meet specialised requirements.
Our clients love the attention we pay to every little detail when we put up, decorate and manage the tents.

As a festival and event supplier we supply festival marquees and big tops. We also provide production and management of family entertainment areas.
Many festivals ask us to do both.
As a family, we’ve supplied tents and entertainment to Bestival, Camp Bestival, Shambala, Boomtown, Glastonbury, Cornbury, Let's Rock, Rewind, Port Elliiot and many more.
We work at all sorts of festivals, not just the music ones! 
Why not host your own festival?

Weddings

White canvas traditional marquees are wonderful for weddings.
We create personalised ambience and beauty for the couple's special day.
Our large pole marquees and smaller tents can be combined and we can decorate for all sorts of weddings.
We love alternative weddings, DIY celebrations, unique couples, festival brides, same-sex LGBT+ weddings and anyone else who wants to do something a little quirky for their wedding.
Hand-fasting and eco-weddings are so good!

What they say

Exceeded all expectations

I used BigTopMania for a party last weekend and I have to say they exceeded all my expectations. Not only was their price highly competitive but they couldn't have done more in terms of extras provided. The set up was faultless and their staff were helpful and courteous. I can honestly say that I have never dealt with a company who have done more for me. If you are looking for a big top, or little top, these chaps are tip top!

Professional and Efficient

We cannot praise Pete and his excellent team highly enough; they put up such a beautiful tent for my 50th Circus Party, and were a joy to work with. Professional and efficient, they coped with some extremely challenging weather, and worked tirelessly to get everything perfect.  Our guests loved dancing the night away in such a beautiful place, and we have so many memories of all the fun and colour- a real triumph thanks to Bigtopmania.

We like to think we are a very creative force and are constantly evolving to suit!

This has all been done through a passion for live events and festivals, a lot of honest hard work and great relationships with customers. Over the years, we’ve encouraged and been part of the new circus renaissance. We love performing! 
Our teams are based in Devon and Bristol and provide our entertainmant services and marquee hire from there.
