From garden parties to festivals: Why marquees are the ultimate venue

signpost

When planning any event, the venue choice can be the difference between success and failure. Whether you’re hosting a small garden party or a large-scale festival, a marquee consistently offers the kind of flexibility and freedom traditional venues often can’t match.

Here are our top reasons to make one of our marquees your go-to venue—whatever you’re planning.

A blank canvas for any occassion

Unlike a ‘bricks and mortar’ venue, a marquee provides a completely customisable space for you to style as you wish. With our extensive range of furniture, dancefloors, bars, lighting and more, it can be transformed into everything from a chandeliered palace perfect for a wedding or celebration to a formal banquet, commercial product launch or training day! Our marquees have even been used as temporary exam halls – and if you need inspiration we have a gallery going back over 30 years.

Location – anywhere!

One of the best things about a marquee is thier ability to go up practically anywhere. Whether it’s your own garden, a field with a view, a city courtyard, or the grounds of a business premises, we can make it work!

Ideally your location should be flat, but even if it’s uneven, dont worry –  we can often construct a base to level it out!

Fully Scalable

From a modest 3x3m – perfect for an intimate party – to a large event accommodating hundreds of people our marquees come in all shapes and sizes. You’re not tied to the limitations of a fixed venue—your layout can be tailored exactly to your event. Need a bar, kitchen, breakout area or dancefloor? We can build these into your marquee to maximise flow and function.

Weatherproof – yet still outdoors

A marquee is perfect fit for the British weather. Your guests can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while being shletered from whatever the forecast brings! From open sides for a warm summer’s day, to heating, linings and insulation for the colder months, our marquees are more versatile than ever.

Not just for weddings… 

If you are planning a corporate event, we can colour co-ordinate the marquee with your brand with our wide range of drapes and swags – without competing with a hotel’s décor or venue’s limitations. We can install staging, signage and platforms to create a totally immersive experience to match your brand.
