Smoky Tentacles was born fifteen years ago as the original shisha lounge on the festival circuit. Over the years our café and stage has become known as one of the best festival spaces in the business.
We also hire stunning Moroccan marquees and luxury shisha lounges for weddings, events and private parties through our sister company The Fantastical Tent Co.
Not only are we a highlight at all the summer’s top festivals, we are also available to design and deliver your own perfect party or wedding.
Housed in an exclusive Moroccan marquee, Smoky Tentacles is a beautiful and ethically run chill-out lounge and café, the perfect place for the festival-goer to relax with friends until the small hours. Think comfy rugs, cushions and low slung tables, ambient lighting, oil projections, great tunes and vibes to create one of the most popular spaces on the festival scene.
We serve delicious ethically sourced and home made food, shisha in traditional Egyptian hookah pipes and freshly made speciality coffee and teas such as fresh mint in Moroccan tea sets and delicious organic chai made from fresh spices.
We can be found at all the biggest and best parties on the festival circuit and have run our own stage to rave reviews at the Beatherder Festival for over ten years!
We'll take you on a musical journey from fresh singer songwriters and acoustic acts through to the best up and coming live reggae, ska, jazz, hip-hop and funk bands that this country has to offer.
With our ear firmly to the ground, our music policy always provides the soundtrack to the summer.
Expect amazing breakfasts, delicious homemade falafel, vegan fritters, mezze, slaws and salads along with our fresh homemade sauces!
Each one of our tents is unique to us and is sourced directly from our master marquee maker: a supplier of the top riads in and around Marrakech.
With the Moroccan royal family on his CV of clients, these tents are of the highest order and synonymous with quality both in looks and manufacture. Our marquees all feature stunning linings and exude a sense of opulence.
From alternative weddings and private shisha lounges through to festival green rooms and summer balls, our tents create the wow factor each and every time.
