Marquee Styles Available

With over 40 years in the marquee and events industry, we offer five distinct styles of marquee, each suited to different events, settings and aesthetics.

Traditional poled marquees
use king poles to raise the structure from the ground, creating the sweeping, elegant lines that make them a firm favourite for weddings and summer celebrations.
Clear span framed marquees
are a self-supporting structure with no internal poles, making them ideal for locations where pegging into the ground is not possible, such as hard standing surfaces, car parks or enclosed courtyards.
Pagoda marquees
, sometimes called Chinese hat marquees, offer a contemporary, eye-catching profile and work beautifully as standalone structures for smaller events or as an elegant extension to a larger marquee.
Celeste sailcloth marquees
are a stunning choice with bevelled wooden poles, attractive roof detailing and translucent walls that can be rolled up or down. They bring a light, airy, festival feel to any event without the need for additional internal linings.
Stretch marquees
are the most versatile option in our range, a waterproof, weather-resistant structure that can be configured in countless ways, rigged over uneven ground, connected to existing buildings or combined in multiple units to create larger covered spaces.
