Marketplace Marquee Hire FAQs
Our marketplace marquees are used by councils, event organisers, and independent traders across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Whether you’re hosting a craft fair, farmers’ market or seasonal street event, these FAQs explain how our marquees can help you create a professional, weatherproof setup for vendors and visitors alike.
What marquee sizes are best for market stalls and traders?
We provide a range of sizes suitable for individual stalls and larger covered areas. Smaller vendors often choose the 3 x 6m Garden Marquee or 4 x 8m Party Marquee, while organisers of larger markets use modular setups such as the 6 x 10m Event Marquee or 6 x 20m Event Marquee to create long, continuous aisles for traders.
Can marquees be used for regular weekly or monthly markets?
Yes, our marquees are durable and suitable for repeat or semi-permanent use. Many clients run weekly food markets or monthly craft fairs under structures like the 6 x 16m Event Marquee, which can be installed and dismantled on a consistent schedule by our team.
Are your marquees weatherproof for outdoor trading?
They are. All of our marquees are built to handle typical British weather and can be fitted with Marquee flooring such as 6 x 6m Carpet on Board or 6 x 14m Carpet on Board to keep footfall areas clean and dry. Our secure anchoring systems ensure stability even on windy days.
Can traders have lighting and power inside their stalls?
Yes. We offer Marquee lighting options such as Globe Marquee Lighting and 100m Fairy Lights that provide bright, even coverage. If power access is required for equipment or refrigeration, we can advise on safe electrical connections or generator use.
Do you supply tables and furniture for traders?
We do. Our Marquee furniture range includes 6ft Rectangular Tables and Bistro Chairs, which are ideal for product displays, food service or customer seating areas. These items can be rented alongside your marquee for convenience.
Can marquees be arranged in rows or zones for large markets?
Absolutely. We can configure multiple marquees to create rows of vendor spaces, food courts or covered walkways. Many clients use several 6 x 8m Event Marquees or 6 x 18m Event Marquees linked together for a professional, coordinated market layout.
Are marquees suitable for seasonal markets like Christmas or Easter?
Yes. For festive trading, our marquee heaters such as the Small Indirect Heater or Large Indirect Heater ensure warmth, while Uplighters and Chandeliers add atmosphere for evening shopping events. We can also provide lined interiors for premium artisan or craft fairs.
Do you help with installation and collection on busy market days?
We do. Our team coordinates with councils and market organisers to ensure installation is completed before trading hours and collection takes place after closure. We understand the importance of efficient setup in high-traffic public spaces.
Can marquees be installed on hard surfaces like town squares?
Yes. We use weight-based anchoring systems that allow marquees to be safely installed on concrete, tarmac or paved areas without damaging the surface. This makes them ideal for city centre markets or events in pedestrian zones.
Where do you deliver marketplace marquees?
We deliver across the East and West Midlands and South Yorkshire, including Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Sheffield, Mansfield and Grantham. Whether it’s a one-day artisan market or a month-long food festival, our team provides professional delivery, installation and support throughout your event.
