Introduction

For larger gatherings — private festivals, big anniversary parties, community and charity events — we supply festival-style marquees built for higher guest numbers and longer event days. These are typically our larger clear-span structures, set up with flooring, lighting, heating and power to handle extended use, bars, catering areas and stages if required.

Why Choose Classic Marquees for Festival-Style Events

Festival-style events tend to run longer, host more guests, and involve more moving parts than a standard private party — multiple structures, separate catering or bar tents, additional power for sound and lighting, and sometimes staging. We plan for all of this from the outset rather than treating it as an oversized version of a standard marquee booking, and our team has the experience to manage larger, more complex installations.

What’s Included in Festival Marquee Hire

  • Detailed consultation on expected numbers, site layout and event format
  • Site visit to plan structure placement, access and power
  • Delivery, full installation and take-down of large-capacity structures
  • Flooring suited to extended use and higher footfall
  • Lighting, heating and power sized for longer event days
  • Furniture, bar set-up and provision for stages if required
  • Full collection and site clean-up after the event

Planning a Larger Event

We’ll talk through your expected numbers, site layout and any specific requirements — multiple structures, a separate catering tent, extra power for sound and lighting — before recommending a set-up. As with all our hires, delivery, installation and take-down are handled by our own team rather than subcontracted, which matters more at this scale, where coordination between structures and site logistics needs to be managed by one accountable team.

Clear Span (best all-round choice)

Large, open spaces without interior poles — perfect for main stages, dining halls, or exhibition areas.

Pagoda (ceremony, reception & bar areas)

Great for eye-catching entranceways, ticket booths, or VIP bars.

Capri (summer garden weddings)

Stylish and open — ideal for chill-out lounges or casual seating areas.
