Marquee Hire
Marquees are a common image at the modern British wedding. Hardly a weekend or bank holiday goes by without most people spotting those white minarets dotting the stately grounds and gardens of the Norfolk countryside. In Norfolk, marquee hire is an increasingly popular option with those planning all sorts of events. They are used to house temporary restaurants at big events such as race days and literary festivals. They regularly play host to corporate events, talks and launches. And where would the village fete be without the protection they offer from all manner of weather? But why is Norfolk marquee hire now such big business? What are the reasons for its lasting appeal?
A lot of it is due to the almost infinite variety of options that marquee event hire can offer. Though we might have the stereotypical image of a square awning on a patch of grass, marquees now come in all manner of shapes and sizes. As well as the traditional square design, Norfolk marquee hire companies can offer hexagonal and triangular designs. Different sections of differing shapes and sizes can be joined together to create layouts as complex or as simple as you want. A special guttering system ensures water does not pool and leak through at the joins during heavy rain.
A popular reason for hiring marquees is that the chosen venue just isn’t large enough to accommodate all of the guests. It’s important therefore, that whatever temporary accommodation you set up has that extra space, but doesn’t damage the area in which it is placed. For this reason, in Norfolk marquee hire is popular with those holding events at stately homes. The houses’ owners wouldn’t be too impressed if your wedding marquee left ruts and divots all over their carefully maintained grass. The lightweight structure of the marquees means they do not sink into the ground like other options such as portacabins and caravans.
In Norfolk, marquee hire also offers a range of options that make them suitable for everything the changeable British weather can throw at them. If it’s warm and sunny, a concealed zip on each of the wall sections can be undone and the walls pulled back similar to curtains to open up the space and allow the sun and air in. If, on the other hand, the heavens open, then the walls can quickly and easily be closed again and zipped up, providing a warm, enclosed interior in which you and your guests can hide from the downpour.
The inside can be designed to suit any event for which they may be hired. All marquees can be lined with bespoke materials available in an array of colours to match the colour scheme of whatever occasion for which you may be hiring it. If it is a wedding, the swags – drapes which hang from the top of the marquee – can be chosen to match with the colour scheme of the bride’s bouquet, flowers, groom’s wardrobe, and so on. If it is a corporate launch or event, the interior decor can echo your corporate colours.
If it’s a more informal affair, dance floors are also available for rent. The floor is made of discrete panels which lock together thanks to aluminium edging. The floor is both quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as being completely safe for guests to move and jump about on. Floors are available in both the traditional wood panel effect, and black and white chequer board.
Whether you are planning a wedding, corporate launch or book festival in Norfolk, marquee hire presents diverse options for layout, design and features. Their lightweight construction also means they are suitable for almost any setting. Let a Norfolk marquee hire company build the perfect setting for your perfect day.
