Marquee Hire Hertfordshire

The size of the marquee you need will depend on several factors, including the number of guests you are expecting, the type of event you are hosting, and the space you have available for the marquee. As a general rule, you should allow around 1.5 square meters of space for each guest if you plan to have seating at tables. For a cocktail-style event with standing room only, you can allow around 0.5 to 1 square meter per guest. You should also consider any other equipment or activities you plan to include in the marquee, such as a dance floor or stage and any decorations or furnishings you want to add. It’s always better to choose a marquee that is slightly larger than you think you need, rather than risk running out of space on the day of your event.

The cost of a marquee in the UK can vary widely depending on the size, type and location of the event. On average, a basic 3m x 3m tent can cost around £200, while a larger 9m x 12m marquee can cost up to £1200 or more. Prices can also be affected by factors such as the addition of flooring, lighting, heating and other accessories. Hiring a marquee for a weekend event can cost anywhere from £500 to over £5000, depending on the size and features included. It’s important to shop around and get quotes from multiple vendors to find the right marquee and pricing for your specific needs and budget.

A pole marquee is constructed using tall centre poles that support the entire structure, while a frame marquee is built using a sturdy aluminium frame that supports the structure without the need for centre poles. The main advantage of a pole marquee is that it offers a greater sense of openness and space, as the absence of frames and support poles allows for greater flexibility in terms of the design and layout of the interior. On the other hand, frame marquees offer more versatility in terms of placement, as they can be set up on a variety of surfaces like concrete, gravel, or grass, and are generally more stable and reliable in high winds and inclement weather conditions. Additionally, frame marquees are often quicker and easier to set up and take down, and can be expanded or reduced in size with greater ease as compared to pole.
