Marquee hire
We provide traditional cotton canvas marquees in sizes from 15ft to 40ft wide, with custom lengths for events up to 1,000 guests. Our MUTA-accredited team ensures professional setup and dismantling, with flame-retardant and waterproof materials. Ideal for weddings, corporate functions, and festivals in gardens, fields, or country estates.
Luxury linings
Custom interlinings in ivory, royal blue, gold, and 10+ colours transform marquee interiors. Handcrafted from premium materials meeting UK fire safety standards, these linings create elegant backdrops for weddings or sophisticated corporate events with coordinated drapes and valences.
Event lighting
From starlight roofs with LED constellations to chandeliers and uplighters, our lighting systems create atmospheric effects. Dimmer controls allow mood adjustments, while fairy lights and ball lighting enhance both daytime and evening celebrations with energy-efficient illumination.

Robust dance floors provide safe, polished surfaces for events of all sizes. Complemented by coconut matting, carpets, or board flooring options, our systems ensure stability on uneven ground while maintaining aesthetic appeal for weddings and corporate functions.

We supply banquet chairs, trestle tables, sofa sets, and specialty items like cake tables and easels. Options include padded seating in ivory/light blue and luxury finishes in natural beech, gold, or silver, with table linen and napkin hire completing formal or relaxed event setups.
