Things to think about before hiring a marquee

While we have marquees to suit most spaces, it’s well worth thinking about the practicality of putting up a marquee in your garden or any other outside space.

Here are a few things to consider.

The marquee pitch site

Choose a flat surface with no overhanging trees, the ground doesn’t have to perfectly level but it shouldn’t be noticeably concave as they’ll just fill with water.

If you can comfortably host a gathering on your lawn then it’s generally ok for a marquee.

Access for guests

Think about how your guests will get to, and enter, the marquee.

Powering the event

Our events are generally low-powered running from one or two 13amp sockets from an outdoor socket, into a garage, or through a window.

We will bring plenty of cables with us, so we’re more than happy to advise on the safest routing of cables on the day of installation.

Will it ruin my lawn?

No. Hires tend to be short-term, from 1 to 3 days, and we always take care during the installation to minimise any impact on your lawn.

How much does it cost to hire a marquee?

One of the key benefits of hiring a marquee is that they are extremely cost effective and allow you to allocate more budget to food, drink and entertainment.

Our marquee hire packages start as low as £840 for a 1 to 3 day hire, they include everything you need to make your event a success.
