Festival Marquee Hire FAQs
Our marquees are a popular choice for festivals across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Whether you’re planning a music event, craft fair, food festival or outdoor exhibition, these FAQs cover everything you need to know about festival marquee hire.
What types of marquees are best suited for festivals?
For large outdoor events, we recommend robust structures like the 6 x 24m Event Marquee or 9 x 21m Event Marquee, which provide ample space for bars, seating areas, or trader stalls. For smaller festival sections, options like the 6 x 10m Event Marquee or 4 x 12m Event Marquee work well for information points or food stands.
Can your marquees handle large crowds and changing weather?
Yes. All of our marquees are built to withstand busy festival conditions and typical British weather. We use strong anchoring systems and recommend adding marquee flooring such as 6 x 24m Carpet on Board to keep high-traffic areas level and dry, even in muddy fields.
Do you supply furniture for festival seating and lounges?
We do. Our marquee furniture range includes 6ft Rectangular Tables, 5ft Round Tables and Bistro Chairs. For VIP or hospitality areas, you can add Lime Wash Chiavari Chairs or Chair Covers to elevate the look.
Can marquees be used as vendor or trade tents?
Absolutely. Many of our festival clients hire multiple smaller marquees or gazebos for traders, exhibitions and food stalls. Compact models like the 3 x 6m Garden Marquee or 4 x 8m Party Marquee work perfectly for individual pitches and vendor setups.
Do you offer lighting and power options for night-time festivals?
Yes. Our marquee lighting range includes 100m Fairy Lights, Globe Marquee Lighting and Uplighters. We can also advise on generator requirements or coordinate with your on-site power team to ensure your festival areas stay safely illuminated after dark.
Is heating available for autumn or winter festivals?
It is. For colder seasons, we supply marquee heaters such as Large Indirect Heater and Small Indirect Heater. These units maintain consistent warmth inside larger festival marquees, making them suitable for year-round use.
Can marquees be branded or customised for sponsors?
Yes. Our marquees can accommodate banners, flags and branded décor. We can also help plan lighting setups and colour schemes—using Uplighters or Chandeliers—to match your sponsor or event branding.
How far in advance should I book for a festival?
We recommend booking several months ahead, especially for summer events when festival demand is high. Early booking ensures you secure the right marquee sizes and accessories for your event in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln or Sheffield.
Do you provide installation support across large festival sites?
Yes. Our experienced team manages full setup and collection, coordinating with site managers and organisers. We install across large outdoor spaces, ensuring everything is secure, compliant and ready for use before opening day.
Can you provide multiple marquees for different festival zones?
Absolutely. We can supply multiple structures for bars, catering, first aid, VIP lounges or exhibitor areas. With our wide product range of marquees, flooring, lighting and furniture, we’ll make sure each area of your festival is well equipped.
