Next to our yurts and marquees, we have a simple guide to advise how many guests the structure can hold. You need to consider if you’re having a band, a bar and a chill out area and also how many guests you have both seating and standing as all will make a difference to the space you’ll need. If you’re unsure which structure would be suitable for your event, simply get in touch and we’ll happily make some recommendations and also check availability for you.
We primarily deliver within 2.5 hours of our base in Ripon, if you are further afield just let us know and we shall try our best to accommodate.
You can see all our prices on our prices and finishing touches tabs on our website, once you’ve chosen which items you’d like, simply fill in our Contact Form on our Contact tab or send us an email. One of our Event Coordinators will then be able to send you a bespoke, itemised quote, including delivery to your venue.
We are as open and helpful as we can be, so there are no hidden costs. The only cost not on our website is delivery, which your Event Coordinator will be more than happy to quote for you.
If you need to fit more guests into a smaller space you can put some tables on the dance floor during the meal (all of our tables fold down flat so they can be moved when your guests are ready for dancing). Our trestle tables can also sit a chair on each end if needed.
All of our structures come with ‘Harvest Gold’ coloured DandyDura matting. This type of matting is specifically designed for marquees meaning it’s hard-wearing (along with complimenting the yurts and marquees beautifully!)
We mainly erect the yurts and marquees onto grass as we can simply peg them in. However, erecting the structures on hard-standing surfaces can be an option too. We require an additional layer of hard flooring and ballasting to achieve this. Please get in touch with a member of the team to discuss your requirements.
Yes! We stock hard-flooring. Our matting is then laid over the top of this. Most clients opt for simple matting on its own, but if you think you would like/require hard-flooring then do let us know.
A 25% deposit is required to secure your structure. This will be high-lighted on your bespoke quote. This deposit secures your hire with us and is also used to cover any damages. The deposit is in addition to the charge total. The final charge total is required no later than 1 month before your event. The deposit is 100% refunded after your event, if no damages have occurred.
Take a look at our events page to see when our next Open Day is planned. In the meantime, we do have some great photography in our gallery. Alternatively, we can sometimes organise for you to visit an existing booking.
We can recommend a number of beautiful, handpicked venues, simply visit our venue tab.
The measurements we give for our structures are the exact measurements to the edges of the canvas, on top of that we just need the following clearance areas all the way around for the pegs and guy ropes:
Yurts – 1 metre or 3.5ft extra
Marquees & Tents – 2 metres or 6.5ft extra
We just ask that the site is level, well drained and the grass is freshly cut before your event. If you’re unsure if your site is suitable, do get in touch and we can arrange a site visit.
Please note: Site visits are chargeable. A member of our team can provide you with a quote if you feel you require a site visit. 50% of this fee will be refunded to you upon confirming your booking with us.
We can provide generators through our third party supplier. Please speak to a member of our team for a quote. We can offer generators in sizes 20kva, 40kva and 60kva.
If you have any lighting or heaters from us, then do be aware these will require a power supply either from a generator or building. We will detail on your quote, what power is required.
We always suggest getting a heater, even in the summer months as the evenings can get quite chilly. For the colder months if you’re hiring a 50ft yurt, or a marquee size 9x27m or bigger, we suggest getting two heaters.
If you’re having more than one structure we also reccomend having heating in each one, whether it be a wood burning stove or marquee heater.
Although you’re not tied to using our suppliers we can highly recommend everyone featured on our website, from stunning venues through to our trustworthy suppliers. Click here to view friends of Yorkshire Yurts
The yurts and marquees are very much a blank canvas and you are more than welcome to decorate them as you wish. We’re very flexible and the yurts especially provide a wealth of opportunity for decorations due to the number of roof ribs and side trellis. If you would like some help or advice with styling your event just get in touch, we work with some great stylists that we can recommend.
We do offer furniture only hires, however these can only be booked six months in advance of your event date. We would be happy to provide you with a provisional quote in the meantime though, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Once you’ve put down your deposit, your Event Coordinator will be available to help with anything else you may require while you plan the rest of your event. We will be in touch a couple of months prior, to confirm all the finer details and your set up/take down days. If you would like to make any changes to your finishing touches along the way, just let us know.
The final payment is due no later than 1 month before your event.
The set up day can fall on any day in the week leading up to your event, and the take down day can fall on any day in the following week. We arrange this part of the schedule a couple of months before the event date so if you or your chosen venue have any restrictions, you must let us know at your earliest convenience so we can work to fit with your requirements.
Your Event Coordinator will have confirmed your set-up/take-down dates with you a couple of months before. We won’t have a set time for arrival, but our team will call you when they’re on route.
We ask that you are at the venue for the set-up day, so you can confirm where you would like the structure to go, and to sign it off when it’s finished. The team leader will leave you with a handover pack with any information that you may require.
You do not need to be around on the day of the take-down, as long as we have easy access. Please ensure that the handover folder is left in the structure, and the structure is clear of all other equipment and decorations.
If you have anything that requires power (lighting, DJ/band, caterers, toilets etc) and your venue doesn’t supply power on-site, then you will need to source a generator. Whilst we don’t stock generators, we can outsource one for you, using our trusted suppliers.
If you are sourcing power from a building and/or your power source will be more than 5m away from the structure, do let us know as you may need adapters and extra cabling.
We detail any power requirements for our equipment on your quotation.
We don’t supply toilets ourselves, but just let us know if you’d like some recommendations.
If you’d like help moving furniture, lifting the sides of the structure up and down or even just the peace of mind of having a Yorkshire Yurts member of staff on site during your event; just contact our team with the amount of time you’d like someone and we can let you know costings.
Our Terms and Conditions can be found on the quotation document that is emailed to you, or on our website.
