Charity Event Marquee Hire in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Beyond
Charity events often bring communities together, raising awareness and funds for important causes. With our flexible marquees, heating, flooring, lighting and furniture, your charity event can run smoothly whatever the weather. We design spaces that suit auctions, dinners, fun days and fundraisers of all sizes.
Practical spaces for every type of fundraiser
Our marquees are available in sizes ranging from 3m Marquees for small village fundraisers through to 9m Marquees for large gala dinners. Many charities choose a versatile layout that accommodates dining, speeches and entertainment all under one roof.
Comfort for guests and supporters
Heating is key when holding an event outside of summer. We can supply a Small Indirect Heater for compact tents or a Large Indirect Heater to keep bigger gatherings comfortable. Add marquee flooring such as 6 x 6m Carpet on Board to create stable ground, and complete the look with marquee linings for a professional finish.
Lighting and furniture hire for charity occasions
Lighting sets the mood. Choose a canopy of 100m Fairy Lights for a relaxed evening or elegant Chandelier lighting for formal dinners. Seating can be tailored to your event style, whether it’s simple Bistro Chairs or formal Lime Wash Chiavari Chairs with Chair Covers.

Can you help us plan a layout suitable for fundraising activities?
Yes. We’ll work with you to design a layout that suits your event type—whether you need space for a dinner, stalls, a stage or silent auction tables. Larger setups often use the 6 x 24m Event Marquee or 9 x 21m Event Marquee to accommodate multiple zones within one structure.
Are marquees suitable for outdoor charity fairs or sports fields?
Definitely. We regularly install marquees for school fundraisers, summer fetes and community runs across open spaces. Our marquee flooring such as 6 x 10m Carpet on Board or 6 x 22m Carpet on Board provides stability on soft or uneven ground, keeping guests safe and comfortable.
Do you provide furniture for charity dinners or auctions?
We do. Our marquee furniture range includes 5ft Round Tables, Banqueting Chairs and Chair Covers for formal fundraisers. For casual events, many organisers prefer Bistro Chairs with 6ft Rectangular Tables for a more relaxed layout.
Can the marquee be branded or themed for our charity?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring banners, pop-up displays and décor that reflect your charity’s message. We can also install lighting such as Uplighters in your organisation’s colours or fit Fairy Lights for evening ambience.
Is the equipment insured and safe for public use?
All our equipment is fully insured with £10 million public liability cover, and all electrical items are PAT tested. This makes our marquees suitable for public events, council-supported fundraisers and school charity functions.
Do you offer discounted rates for registered charities?
We do our best to support local causes and may be able to offer reduced hire rates for registered charities, particularly for midweek events or repeat bookings. Please contact us to discuss your event details and we’ll tailor a package that suits your budget.
Can marquees be heated for evening or winter fundraisers?
Yes. Our marquee heaters such as the Large Indirect Heater and Small Indirect Heater keep guests warm during colder months. Combined with marquee linings like the 6 x 16m Marquee Lining, they create a comfortable, welcoming environment even in winter.
Do you provide lighting and power for evening charity events?
Yes, we offer full lighting setups including Chandeliers, Globe Marquee Lighting and Uplighters. Power requirements can be discussed in advance; we’ll ensure your lighting and heating systems are connected safely and efficiently.
How far do you deliver for charity marquee hire?
We deliver across the Midlands and surrounding regions, including Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Sheffield, Mansfield and Loughborough. If your charity event is further afield, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability and delivery times.
Can we hire a marquee for a single-day fundraiser?
Yes. Many charity events are one-day functions, and we can arrange delivery a day before and collection shortly after the event. Setup and takedown are handled by our experienced team so you can focus on running the fundraiser itself.
