Festival marquee hire: your questions.

From a single show marquee to a festival compound, the brief starts with the people, departments and spaces your site needs.

Which festival marquees can you supply?

Our festival marquee hire covers crew catering, welfare, first-aid spaces, artist dressing rooms, backstage compounds, production offices and VIP hospitality. For food festivals and country shows, we also supply cookery theatres, craft halls, trade stands and exhibition marquees.

Can you plan public and backstage spaces together?

Yes. Send the overall festival site plan and a list of spaces by department. We can discuss separate entrances, partitions, flooring and wall options for each marquee, alongside the routes needed for deliveries and the build.

Do you install and dismantle the festival marquees?

Yes. Our crews deliver, install and dismantle the hired structures. Build and derig dates need to be included in the programme alongside the public opening dates, so vehicle movements and handovers can be coordinated with the site team.

Can a marquee be used for an agricultural show or a touring event?

Yes. We supply agricultural and country show marquees as well as music festival structures. For a touring programme, send a brief for each venue with its layout, hire dates and access arrangements. Our country show case study covers Sandringham, Thame and Wiltshire.

What should I send for a festival marquee quotation?

Include the venue or postcode, event dates, build and derig windows, a site plan and the intended use of each structure. Add expected occupancy, flooring and wall requirements, available vehicle access and any restrictions on the ground or fixing method. If the layout is still developing, send the information you have.

How far ahead should I book festival marquees?

Contact us as soon as the venue and likely dates are known, especially when several structures or a touring calendar are involved. Availability and the build programme need to be checked against your specification; we confirm these as part of the quotation process.
