We started some 12 years ago with one marquee that we hired out on a pick-up, put-up and bring back basis. We realised that many people were happy to help get involved with DIY of events if it meant saving money.
 
We now have 27 marquees, mobile bars, decor, bubble machines, beer coolers – a whole shed of equipment and items for event hire – all at affordable prices. Our pledge is to offer an alternative to the premium marquee providers.
 
We pledge to keep our marquee and event equipment hire affordable by offering a DIY approach to event planning.
 
In order to keep costs down, our equipment can be collected and returned by the hirer. We will help you load your vehicle and guide you through the correct usage of the equipment. We do have a Luton van with a tail lift for deliveries and collection, but this costs extra. We can deliver / collect the hire items – please enquire for prices.
 
If you hire a marquee from us, then you will need to help us to erect the structure. We will help you to erect the marquee and guide you through the process. Our marquees take around two hours to erect with four to five people.
 
You will also be expected to take the marquee down yourselves and return / help load our van.
 
Our marquees are the older, traditional-style marquees that are erected on grass or soft ground (they cannot be erected on concrete).
 
The marquees also have signs of ageing, they’re not too dirty or stained, but they will be marked.
 
If you’re after a pristine, white marquee then we suggest you approach one of the top end marquee hire firms.
 
If you want a more bespoke, shabby chic-style event, then we’re your best option.
