Planning your event
The usual steps involved with planning the marquee for your event would be:-
Contact us via telephone or the contact page within the website with the outline details of the event.
Based on these details we will create a free personalised estimate together with a layout for the marquee to show how the space would be used. The estimate is broken down to individual items and includes lighting, carpet and furniture so that you have a good basis for your plans. We will send the details in the post with a brochure or via email.
At a convenient time, we then meet you at the marquee site. This is a free, no-obligation service. This enables us to understand your plans and ideas, we can show you many photographs of our work so that you can see the many options available and ensures the marquee layout works best for the location. We have 4 different widths of marquee and all are built in 3m sections and can be joined together so we can ensure the best use of the space available.
Following this meeting, we will create a fully itemised quotation and revised layout for your review.
To secure your booking we request a 20% deposit.
We understand your requirements may change as your plans develop and we can amend the specification as required. We request your final guest number 2 weeks before your event and the final amendments are made at this stage.
The build team will arrive on site on the agreed built date and at the end of the day, the site manager will walk you around the completed marquee. We take final payment at this point.
The marquee is removed on the agreed dismantled date.

Many sites are not flat open spaces but we can provide many solutions to ensure your location is suitable for your event.
We provide clear span marquees in 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m and these can be joined together to create different shapes to ensure the best use of the space available. All joints are fully guttered to keep the weather out. We draw a scale layout of the marquee so that you can visual the space and how it will work for your event.
We can incorporate plants, small trees and water features within the marquee. Not only does this maximize the space available, it also makes the venue unique.
We can install a sub-frame wood floor. This is a steel and aluminium structure that can be built up to take out a slope within a site or create an even surface within fields or paddocks. We also recommend a subframe wood floor if the marquee is on a hard standing area as this allows water to flow under the marquee and not spoil the party.
If the slope is too great for our sub-frame wood floor we can work with scaffolding companies to build a frame onto which we can build the marquee.
We can manufacture custom sections of PVC to join to areas of a marquee together or to join on to existing structures.
We provide marquees, lighting, furniture and generators but we can also supply luxury toilet trailers, table linen and chair covers in a wide range of colours, china, cutlery, glassware and catering equipment. Depending on the your requirements, who is providing the catering and the facilities at the venue, we can provide as much or as little as you need to make you event work for you (and your budget!).
We can recommend caterers, bands, disco, florist and a many other aspects of an events that we have worked with in the past.
As well as building marquees, we can use the marquee linings within sport halls, village hall and barns to really transform these in to amazing venues. As each building is unique please contact us to discuss in more detail.
