Festival Marquee Hire
Temporary structures that work around your festival
Marquee hire for hospitality, bars, catering, traders, staff and operational areas, planned around the site rather than supplied as isolated structures.
One coordinated service
A festival rarely needs just one covered space
The structures at a festival have different jobs to do. A VIP lounge needs to feel welcoming. A catering area needs to be practical. A trader structure needs visibility and easy access. Staff and operational areas need to work efficiently behind the scenes.
We help organisers bring those requirements together as one marquee project. That can include selecting appropriate structures, coordinating additional equipment, planning delivery and installation, and making sure the different spaces make sense within the wider event site.
If you are still deciding what you need, start with our festival marquee types guide.

Four marquee types for different jobs
One festival, many spaces
Cover where your event actually needs it
A site can use several different temporary structures, each designed around the people using it and the job it needs to perform.

Beyond the structure
Build out the space with the equipment it needs
Flooring, lighting, furniture and other event equipment can be coordinated alongside the marquee, reducing the number of separate elements an organiser has to manage.
Site planning
The marquee is only one part of the site
Position affects installation access, pedestrian flow, visibility, nearby services and how the structure interacts with surrounding festival areas. Those considerations become even more important when several structures are being installed at the same event.
Thinking about the structures together can help create a clearer layout and a more efficient build schedule.
