We create made-to-measure marquee solutions for events of all scales, from intimate garden parties to 2,000-guest corporate functions. Our 25m-wide structures feature thermal insulation, glass walls, and custom linings in any RAL colour. The cassette flooring system enables multi-level designs with sunken dance floors or raised VIP areas. Each project includes CAD visualisation and method statements detailing safety compliance with British standards.

Our 5-star glamping structures combine authentic canvas aesthetics with modern comforts, featuring insulated steel panels, underfloor heating, and bespoke interiors.

From product launches to sporting sponsorships, our corporate marquees feature branding options like PVC wall printing and custom linings.

I have worked with Florey's on an annual basis for the past 14 years organising a formal 6th form leavers ball, for a large Independent School in Oxford. The 6th formers favourite event is held in one of Florey's extensive marquees which is used for both the junior and senior school speech days. The marquee comfortably seats over 1000 parents and… teachers, during this special occasion which is held at the end of the school year. As the parents leave it's all hands on deck to transform the marquee, in record time, for the 6th formers ball the same evening. Florey's work with our team like

If you want a high quality marquee with elegance and sophistication included then I would 110% go for a Florey marquee. We had SO many compliments on our wedding day (especially the round bar!). On top of that they also provide a calm and informative service. Thanks!
