Marquee types

Because one size doesn't fit all.

Every event has its own personality — and so does every marquee. Find the right fit, then size it for your guest list in the planner.

Our Party Tent is a white freestanding frame marquee that can stand on any surface — it only needs to be pegged down when bad weather threatens. The straight-eaved structure is the marquee of choice for less formal parties and exhibitions. It comes standard with translucent sides that match the roof, and window or coloured striped sides can be ordered as an optional upgrade. The roof always stays white.

The Chateau range is a freestanding frame structure with elegant touches. The roof is quality white block-out PVC that stops sunlight coming through, while the translucent white sides let in just the right amount of daylight. That makes it ideal for audio-visual presentations, with the right light level for projectors and screens in daylight. Arched eaves and windowed sides suit the classiest functions, like weddings.

Our Big Space range is made up of traditional peg and pole marquees. They range from 15 m to 24 m wide and can accommodate thousands of people. Also in white PVC, they come standard with translucent sides and can be upgraded with coloured stripes and windowed sides to suit the feel of the function and your budget. Because they are pegged, they can only go up on unsealed surfaces like grass.

Bedouin stretch tent

Flowing, sculptural stretch tents in 100% waterproof Contour fabric, in pristine white or Chino beige. No sides — the roof can be pegged down to block wind or a view.

Widths6 m – 18 m wide

Best forWeddings, garden parties, lounges and photo-worthy celebrations

SurfacesBest on grass; on hard surfaces we anchor to weights or existing fixtures

SidesNo sides — the roof can be pegged low on one side

Our Bedouin stretch tents are made with the latest stretch tent technology in 100% waterproof Contour fabric, in pristine white or Chino beige. They are light and versatile and can be shaped into a wide variety of beautiful forms. They do not come with sides, but the roof can be stretched and pegged down to create a barrier from weather or to hide an unwanted view. They need some space for pegging, although existing fixtures like balustrades or lamp posts can often be used.

All marquee types can be fitted with flooring and draping — just ask us for a picture and a quote. Frame marquees are modular, so they grow in bays: we always quote the smallest size that comfortably fits your event, and can add space for anything extra you have in mind.
