Temporary Event Structures

Our structures are available up to 20m wide and can be extended to almost any length, with a choice of leg heights. Several structures can also be linked together.

For example, for one school event we built a 20m x 50m marquee and a 9m x 36m marquee on the same site.

Yes, we can use water ballast or concrete ballast to secure the marquees on hard surfaces where staking into the ground isn’t possible.

If the surface is solid concrete, we can also use bolts as fixing points.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring in your own caterers. We can also provide a catering marquee and tables if needed.

Just be sure to check their power requirements, as even small appliances like tea urns or plate warmers can trip a fuse if too many are plugged into the same supply.

If you need recommendations, we’re happy to help, or you can browse our suggested caterers on our Supplier page.

We’re here to help assess your requirements.

Once we know the total power output, we can determine if your house sockets will be sufficient, if we need to tap directly into your mains, or, for larger demands, bring in a generator to ensure everything runs smoothly.

For larger events, we can arrange single portable toilets, toilet units or luxury toilet trailers, which start at 4.8m long by 2.4m wide.

On our large school build, our supplier provided two 8-bay toilet units, positioned so that one of the marquees could be built over the top.

In summer, we recommend adding window walls to your marquee, as they can be opened for instant ventilation. On humid, windless days, fans may be necessary, or we can arrange air conditioning for extra comfort.

It's also a good idea to monitor evening temperatures, even in the height of summer. If temperatures drop below 15°C, guests may start leaving if it becomes too chilly inside the marquee.
In cooler weather, heating is a must.

We offer indirect heaters that stay outside the marquee and pump warm air in, keeping your guests comfortable.

As the hirer, you are responsible for any loss of, or damage to, the marquee. However, if the marquee location is secure and someone is on-site throughout the hire period, the risk of damage or theft is very low and most of our private clients do not take out insurance.

Still concerned! Check if your home insurance covers our equipment, or you can reach out to CoverMarque, specialists in marquee insurance.

Alternatively, you can opt for our damage waiver, which is 5% of the hire cost. This reduces your liability to a smaller contribution in the event of a claim.

For events in public spaces, we require organisers to obtain insurance for our equipment and ensure 24-hour security is in place.

We will do our best to reschedule your booking and minimise any charges if changes are needed.

• If you cancel 8 weeks before your event, only your deposit will be forfeited.
• For cancellations made 4-8 weeks prior, an additional 25% of the equipment cost will be charged.
• If you cancel within 4 weeks of the event, the full booking amount is due.
