Marquees are enduringly popular venues for all kinds of gathering. You decide on the site, the size, the style, the theme and the complexity - they can be whatever you want. Our skill is to work with you to develop value-for-money, flexible solutions and a real sense of occasion for your most important events. Unlike many of our competitors, we offer both traditional marquees and more modern aluminium-framed structures. This allows us to meet the whole spectrum of customers' demands and to advise you impartially on the merits of each. Our traditional marquees - all manufactured by our own craftsmen to exemplary standards - are perfect for weddings, parties, festivals and functions where the appeal of canvas, poles and painted wood lends an air of timeless rural charm. We hold an exhaustive range of traditional tentage, in spans from 6' to 50', and are always delighted to advise on how this can be used most effectively at your venue. Our aluminium-framed clearspan structures are more likely to appeal where style, modernity and sophistication are paramount. Available in 12m and 15m widths, the lack of centre poles and guy ropes complements their high walls to gave an aura of space that makes them a popular choice for commercial hire or simply as a stylish contemporary alternative to traditional tentage; they are also more appropriate for any function where space is at a premium and pegging is difficult. All marquees can be supplemented with additional tentage to meet the needs of your venue and theme, such as: " Walkways " Entrance Tents, French Doors, Fire Exits and Windows " Canopies for bands or barbecues " Catering Tents for food preparation " Screening to mask toilets, generators or unsightly views Marquees are also individually finished internally to your specifications. We offer a wide choice of linings, floorings, matting, carpet, furniture, staging and dance floors, table linen and toilet systems; and we also provide a reliable power and lighting service, all to turn your venue from a tent into an event. We relish the unusual and are always delighted to explore original concepts.
