Marquee Hire Questions and Answers

If you have been tasked with organizing an event you may be wondering, where to start? This article addresses some of the most frequently asked questions regarding marquee hire and provides advice for organizing marquee hires in the UK.

How do I get started?

Some marquee hires companies have established business links with companies that provide related services. Assuming they provide a competitive price, this can be an excellent way of relieving the stress of event organization.

What are in-house marquees?

A large exhibition area or conference hall can be divided using an in-house marquee to make an area separate to the rest of the event.

What types of marquees are available?

Marquees can be split into two main categories. Clear-span marquees have no exterior mooring lines or a central pole. This allows you to make effective use of all available space inside and outside of the marquee.
Shaped marquees are either hexagonal or octagonal and can be set up on the uneven ground more easily than clear span marquees. These serve as excellent reception or catering areas for larger events or the main marquee for smaller events where the terrain is uneven.

What if there is no electrical supply?

If you are unable to get an electrical supply to the marquee at your venue you will need a generator. These can often be supplied by the marquee company.

What surfaces can marquees be set up on?

Conventionally marquees are set up on grass, tarmac, or concrete. Providing the surface is level and stable, most are suitable. If there is a gradient to the surface this may make it unfeasible to use for a marquee.
