Marquee hire FAQs

These are some of the questions people ask when planning a marquee event. The right answer depends on the site and the layout you want, so send us your plans if you would like advice for your event.

What size marquee do I need?

Start with your guest numbers and say whether you want a seated meal, standing reception, dancefloor, bar or stage. Each uses space differently. Our marquee planning guide and comparison page can help you prepare the details we need to suggest a suitable structure.

Can I put a marquee in my garden?

A garden can be a good event setting if there is enough usable space and suitable access. Measure the area, note trees and changes in level, and take a few photos. Read our garden marquee guide for more planning questions.

Which marquee styles do you offer?

Explore our Pagoda, Espree / Capri, Twin Star and Clear Span structures. We can help you compare them against the site, event style and guest layout.

Can you help with flooring, lighting and furniture?

Yes, you can ask us about these and other marquee extras. Through Lizard Events, we can discuss further event equipment and production needs. Tell us what the venue or your other suppliers will provide.

Can a marquee be used in winter?

Winter events require careful planning for heating, lighting, ground conditions and access. Our winter marquee guide explains the points to raise when you enquire. Suitability depends on the site and conditions.

What information should I include in a quote request?

Send the event date and location, approximate guest numbers, type of event and a description or photos of the site. Include any requirements for seating, entertainment, catering or extras. Even if some details are undecided, a clear starting brief helps us give useful advice.
