Before deciding on a tented solution, it is essential to ensure that you have a suitable site for your venue. We are happy to do site survey's but this could be subject to distance and a charge made accordingly.

Q.Will I need matting / carpeting?

A. It depends on the event and the condition of the grass. Most event organisers ask for matting or carpeting as it defines the area and adds that professional finish.

With 6-8 on a 6ft Trestle table.

Q. Can I decorate the marquee myself ?

A. Yes of course you can .We do however ask you to take care as the colour dye in some decorations can run on to the marquee fabric and can leave a permanent stain. Please don't use cellotape use electrical pvc tape, tiewraps or string. Please refer to section 7 of our terms & conditions. ALSO be careful when removing decorations, as last year we had marquee canopies slashed with a stanley knife.

Q. For a saturday or sunday hiring when typically will you set up ?

A. It depends on the size of the event but generally on a Thursday or Friday. However we try to be as flexible as we can and try to work around the customer.
