As the evenings draw in and the crisp air takes hold, many assume outdoor events are limited to the warmer months. At Marshall’s Marquees, we know that autumn and winter can provide some of the most atmospheric settings for celebrations, community gatherings, and corporate occasions. With the right equipment and support, your seasonal event can be as smooth and comfortable as any summer gathering.
Why Autumn and Winter Marquees Make Sense
Holding an event in the cooler months requires planning, but it doesn’t mean compromising on style or comfort. Our marquees are designed to withstand the unpredictable British weather, offering shelter and a cosy atmosphere for your guests. Combined with our range of marquee heaters, lined interiors and sturdy marquee flooring, you can create a welcoming space that works perfectly against the backdrop of falling leaves or even light winter frost.
Seasonal Features That Make a Difference
One of the most important aspects of cold-season marquee hire is warmth. Our large indirect heater can provide efficient heating for larger gatherings, while our 2 lamp heaters (for small marquees) are ideal for intimate parties. To add a sense of seasonal charm, lighting plays a key role. Whether you prefer the soft glow of 100m fairy lights or a classic chandelier, our marquee lighting ensures your event feels magical.
Autumn Gatherings for Families and Communities
Autumn is a wonderful time for harvest festivals, charity evenings, and family gatherings. Our 6 x 6m party marquee and similar sizes from our 6m marquees range are versatile enough to cater to smaller community groups or extended families. Add banqueting chairs and 5ft round tables from our marquee furniture collection and you’ll have a layout perfect for shared meals or seasonal entertainment.
Winter Celebrations and Corporate Functions
Winter brings Christmas parties, end-of-year celebrations, and company gatherings. A larger option such as our 6 x 20m event marquee gives ample room for entertainment, dining, and dancing. Combined with a 12ft x 12ft dance floor, your winter event can include all the features of a traditional indoor venue, with the added charm of a tailored marquee setting.
Marquee Linings for a Seasonal Finish
Comfort in cooler months isn’t just about heating. Our marquee linings help insulate and give a refined finish to your venue. A 6 x 24m marquee lining is ideal for large winter events, creating a smart, professional backdrop that works beautifully with festive decorations or corporate branding.
Furniture and Flooring for Autumn and Winter Hire
Cold and damp conditions make flooring essential. Options like the 6 x 6m carpet on board provide a sturdy, insulated surface that prevents mud and moisture from causing problems. Paired with our chairs and tables, we provide everything needed to keep your guests comfortable throughout the event.
