Our structured play tents are designed to create a more permanent space, somewhere your child can play, rest and imagine, all in their own time. 

Why choose a play tent? 

A play tent becomes part of your home. 

A space they recognise. Return to. And make their own. 

More than just a play piece, it’s somewhere for quiet moments, storytelling, and everyday adventures. 

Before you begin 

Lay out all poles and connectors, and check that all parts are included before assembling. 

Taking a few moments here makes the process feel calm and straightforward. 

 

Building your space 

Follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble your frame using the sturdy poles and connectors. 

Once built, place the cotton canvas cover over the frame and secure it in place. 

Take your time, this is a space they’ll come back to again and again. 

Our cotton canvas is designed to feel soft and natural. If needed, a light steam can help ease any creases after unpacking, so your tent looks its best in your space. 

 

 

A space they’ll love 

Once set up, your play tent quickly becomes more than just a place to play. 

A reading corner. 
A cosy den. 
A quiet retreat. 

You can make it feel even more inviting with a few simple touches: 

  • Cushions or a soft play mat  

  • Favourite teddies or toys  

  • Books for quiet time  

  • Soft lighting or blankets for a cosy feel  

It’s their space to play, rest and imagine! 

 

Designed to fit your home 

With soft, neutral tones and thoughtful details like cotton canvas, bunting and peek-through windows, our play tents are designed to sit beautifully within your home. 

So it feels just as natural in your living space as it does in a playroom.
