Will a marquee damage my lawn?

No not really, unless it is an extreamly wet lawn with very little drainage. Sometimes the entrances and exits can become a little soggy with high footfall. We advise in these kind of conditions a hard floor or walkway is best. There is generally just a slight yellowing of the grass, which quickly grows back.

Do Marquees have to go onto grass?

No, our marquees can be erected on any surface, provided there is some kind of anchoring. We are able to use water waights if pegging into the ground is not recommended.

What’s the difference between a Traditional Marquee and a Clearspan?

These two types of marquee are entirely different in ‘feel’. The traditional Marquee is pegged down with ropes, has poles inside, and is made of canvas. It creates a rustic, country-style or village fete atmosphere. A Clearspan, by contrast, has a contemporary feel with its clean white PVC walls and optional windows. A Clearspan Marquee can be fully lined and can be erected on a solid surface.

Can I have a marquee in winter?
