About this space
-- LIVESTREAMING FACILITIES AVAILABLE --
--LATE EXTENSIONS UNTIL 2 AM AVAILABLE--
The Tent is a unique space located just a stone's throw from the thoroughfare of Bishopsgate and Liverpool St. Station. A 16-sided structure, made in Saudi Arabia and covered in woven goat's hair, the tent is a peaceful space ideal for meetings, workshops/training events, along with the stunning garden courtyard - a real oasis in the City!
It is carpeted and fully heated, with a range of atmospheric lighting options. The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering.
The undercover glass foyer that overlooks the courtyard may be used for refreshments or to lay out items on a table.

Absolutely fantastic venue. Couldn’t be happier we chose to go for this one! Definitely one of the most cost efficient venue on the market and full of character. Everyone has so much fun. The tent was perfect for the children to run around. The garden and the indoor areas were brilliant. Nelson, who was onsite, was so helpful! They accommodated us with tables, fridges, kitchen, glasses for no additional cost. Couldn’t recommend enough!
The uniqueness of the property and value for money in the middle of liverpool street is amzing! It was better than I expected and the little courtyard with fountain on arrival was a pleasant surprise. The 3* for service all go to Nelson who was there on the evening and was amazing. He was knowledgable, friendly, flexible and I can't fault him or his service!
I felt that I was getting emails every day from Nick from my initial enquiry to ensure that I booked and I was being chased to see if I was still interested (which is fine). But after I confirmed and paid, getting hold of ANYONE was a bit of a nightmare. I called so many times, left a voicemail which was never replied to and I think in the end I had 7 unanswered emails from Nick when all I was doing was trying to confirm details (which for a small group of 14 who weren't requiring anything other than use of a fridge) was an absolute chore. I never ended speaking to Nick again which just sort of soured the whole thing. It felt very much as if I was important until I had paid the deposit and then nobody could really be bothered to help. Even when it came time for me to pay the final invoice (I was struggling to use their links) and nobody replied to me. I had to wait for an auto-generated stern overdue invoice email as nobody had bothered to reply to me when all I was doing was trying to pay. As per above, all 3* go to Nelson for being fab but unfortunately, the pre-event customer care kind of let everything down and made me nervous about the whole thing.
The venue is absolutely beautiful. It is suitable in all seasons. The caretaker was fantastic and it was more spacious that I thought.
Not really anything!
The venue was really lovely and accommodating. Caretakers were lovely. We booked in the winter but tent was heated so couldn't feel it. Thank you for great experience.
