Frequently Asked Questions
The things people ask us most about marquee hire in the UK.
How much does marquee hire cost in the UK?
UK marquee hire starts from around £700 for structure-only hire and runs to £15,000+ for all-inclusive wedding marquees. Midsize hire for 100 guests typically costs £3,000-£6,000 with flooring and lighting. London sits at the higher end; regional pricing is typically 20-30% cheaper.
How far in advance should I book a marquee?
Book 9-12 months ahead for peak season (June-September). For popular sailcloth and tipi suppliers, 12-18 months ahead for summer Saturdays. Off-peak events (October-April) can usually be booked 4-6 months ahead.
What size marquee do I need?
Allow 1.2 square metres per guest for a seated meal, plus space for a bar and dance floor. A 9m x 18m marquee suits 100 guests with dance floor. 12m x 24m fits 150-180 guests. Round tables need about 30% more space than long trestle tables.
What type of marquee is best for a wedding?
Traditional pole marquees and sailcloth marquees are the two most popular wedding choices. Traditional is classic and cheaper (£900-£8,000); sailcloth is premium with beautiful golden-hour photos (£1,400-£9,000). Tipis suit festival-style weddings. Clearspan frame marquees are best for larger weddings (150+ guests).
Is it cheaper to hire a marquee or book a venue?
They're often similar once you add everything in. A venue looks cheaper on headline cost, but a marquee on private land needs loos, generator, kitchen, lighting, flooring, and sometimes overnight security. The real difference is flexibility — marquees let you host anywhere, not necessarily save money.
