Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book?

For peak season (May-September), book 6-12 months ahead for weekend events. Winter events can often be booked 3-6 months in advance. We can accommodate last-minute bookings subject to availability.

Do we need planning permission?

Most temporary marquees for private events don't require planning permission, but we recommend checking with your local authority. We can provide documentation if needed.

What happens in extreme weather?

Our marquees are designed to withstand typical British weather including rain and moderate wind. In extreme conditions (high winds, snow), we monitor forecasts and take appropriate safety measures.

Can you install on any surface?

We can install on most surfaces including grass, concrete, paving, and uneven ground. Each site is assessed individually during our site visit.

How long can we hire the marquee for?

Standard hire is 3 days (setup day, event day, breakdown day). Extended hire periods are available for multi-day events or if you need more preparation time.

Do you provide generators?

Yes, we can provide generators if your venue doesn't have electricity access. This is essential for lighting and heating.

Can the marquee be heated in winter?

Absolutely! We provide space heaters and can fully enclose marquees to create warm, comfortable spaces even in winter months.

What if we need to cancel?

Cancellation terms are outlined in our contract. We recommend event insurance to protect against unforeseen circumstances.

Can you combine marquee hire with catering?

Yes! We offer complete event packages combining marquee hire with our catering and bar services. This is our most popular option for weddings and corporate events.

Seasonal Considerations

Spring & Summer (April-September)

Our busiest season. Marquees provide shade from sun and shelter from occasional showers. Lighter, open-sided configurations work well. Book early for weekend dates.

Autumn (October-November)

Beautiful season for events with changing colours. We recommend fully enclosed marquees with heating as temperatures drop.

Winter (December-March)

Perfect for Christmas parties and winter weddings. Fully enclosed marquees with heating and lighting create cozy, magical spaces. Lower demand means better availability.
