THE EVENT
Farnborough Hill School’s 125th Anniversary Winter Ball – seated dinner for 200.
THE CHALLENGE
The event was to take place in their recently built school sports hall. This presented a number of issues including tight access, weight loading need to be spread in order to protect the flooring and a large build in tight space conditions. The client also requested internal dressing of the main reception entrance to the sports hall and corridors to the loo area.
THE SOLUTION
A 12m x 27m main structure, a walkway reception area and a 6m x 12m catering facility. Internally we supplied hardwood flooring, carpet, dancefloor, furniture, staging forliveband and all associated power requirements. The lighting was a mix of chandeliers,uplightersand black starlight roof linings. Theschoolscolours of lilac and green were also suppliedforthe dressing of the marquee.
THE EVENT
Food with A View’ and Marvellous Mole Valley (Surrey) Celebrations.
THE CHALLENGE
To provide a marquee structure and services on Donkey Green atop of Box Hill, a National Trust area and one of scientific interest.
THE SOLUTION
A 9x18m (30x60ft) clearspan frame marquee for visitors and exhibitors, with staging for presentations and for the Chairman of Mole Valley to address the visitors. In addition we supplied a mixture of furniture, in the way of 6ft long trestle tables, 5ft round tables and 4ft round tables with chairs for visitors to sit at. We also provided a luxury loo unit adjacent to the marquee.
To ensure that impact on the ground was limited to the nature of the space, we used our track way to protect the ground, in addition we used two of our land rovers and trailers to transport the equipment to avoid using heavy Lorries.
WHAT DID THE CLIENT SAY?
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for providing exceptional service, on what was an exceptionally awful weekend. I have had back some really positive things about the events that could not have taken place without your assistance”.

Heating Information
There is a popular and generally misguided conception about the features, benefits and needs for marquee heating of a temporary structure. Many a seemingly successful summer event is ruined by the rush for extra layers as the sun sets. Please be aware that many guests don’t bring coats or wraps to summer events – in our opinion neither should they need to.
Food for thought listed below are the sunset times for 2014……(whilst you are here, it is worthwhile to note that these are also extremely relevant when considering your marquee lighting).
- Early April 19.41
- Late April 20.09
- Early May 20.30
- Late May 20.53
- Early June 21.10
- Late June 21.20

Our marquee heaters are installed and maintained by specialist heating engineers. They have researched and developed a market leading modern heater portfolio. The heaters are silenced equipment, barely visible within the marquee, with covers to discreetly sit outside the marquee and thermostatically controlled. They are a far cry away from the other available run of the mill marquee heating systems.
In order to keep you warm from our cool breezy summer nights, or keep the chill away from a brisk winter we thoroughly advise that you consider our recommendations.
Marquee Hire modern silenced heaters with low profile diffusers are a far cry from the usual run of the mill marquee heating; as a result they are perfect for winter marquee hire.
For larger scale events marquee hire can also offer a more substantial marquee heating option to re-circulate the air within the temporary structure.

Most of us remember the idyllic summer wedding complete with marquee and the simple joys of drinking champagne outside in the sun, before being gently ushered into the pleasant shade of the marquee for a relaxed Wedding reception. The Marquee makes the wedding or party an occasion, people see a marquee and they hear the music and begin getting into the party mood, meeting friends and chatting to old acquaintances.
Children love playing on the lawn, dancers love to cool off by popping outside and the brides have the perfect fairy tale wedding whilst friends and family finish off the celebrations in the marquee after sending the happy couple off.
Freedom and flexibility Hiring a marquee for a wedding or event gives you the flexibility in terms of number of guests and allows a free range in terms of themes or decorations. If the bride wants cream then the marquee is cream, if the party has an African theme etc., the marquee offers the flexibility to be all things for all parties, much more so than the interior of a hotel.
