Marquee Companies in the UK

Extra Space Under Cover

With the famously unpredictable British weather, outdoor events rely heavily on shelter being available. Even if it stays dry, protection is needed from wind and – sometimes – the glare of the sun.

Hiring a marquee is a popular choice when planning corporate entertainment, sports or arts events as well as weddings. But they also have a valuable role to play as temporary buildings for storage, emergency accommodation for a business after fire or flood and during construction projects, perhaps to provide temporary cover for painting and repair work. Industrial marquees are available that can be provided with insulated walling and a variety of finishes. For longer term use, marquees can be purchased, often with a buy-back option.

Originally, all marquees were made of cotton canvas, with wooden poles and hessian ropes. Although canvas marquees are still available and offer comfortable conditions inside the tent, other low-maintenance modern fabrics are now widely used, with easy to handle aluminium poles. For parties and weddings, elaborate linings can create a palace-like feel. At the other end of the scale, marquees for storage or industrial use provide uncluttered, efficient space of virtually any size.

Customers need to be confident the company supplying the marquee will be able to meet deadlines, is fully knowledgeable of all relevant health and safety legislation and has the skills to adjust to the particular needs of a site or event without fuss. A professional approach with helpful crew who work in a tidy manner makes the marquee experience memorable for the right reasons.
