Marquee Malarkey go to Presteigne for Sheep Music

This week Marquee Malarkey have been to the beautiful town of Presteigne to provide a marquee for the Sheep Music Festival that is taking place this coming weekend - 17th, 18th, 19th July.

The Team arrived bright and early this morning to build an 18m x 27m twin pole tension tent. The festival organisers were wonderfully hospitable providing plentiful quantities of tea! Much appreciated by all on site.

Marquee Malarkey also installed a flown aluminium truss rig for stage lighting within the marquee.

We hope the weather stays good for the festival, the line-up looks fantastic!

We'll add some photos of the site a little later.

Thanks for reading,

The Marquee Malarkey Team

Marquee Hire - Malvern

Marquee Malarkey recently provided a 30' (9m) marquee for a small party at Malvern College.

The Marquee was built on a lawn within the beautiful grounds of the school. We lit up the trees in the garden using our outdoor lighting equipment - we also provided a small PA system to allow background music playback during the party.

The marquee is pictured with the walls on, though during the event the walls were removed to to allow the guests to take in the wonderful surroundings.

The marquee that we used was one of our popular '30' rounds' - a fantastic tent that can be built on a grass site in under 45 minutes! The 30' round marquees are fantastic for smaller, informal garden events, as well as a drinks and canapes marquee for larger events (when used in conjunction with other marquees also).

Our record for building this particular marquee was set at West Malvern - setting up for a music event - two Marquee Malarkey labourers set the marquee up (including hammering the stakes into rocky ground) in under 30 minutes! Rapid tenting!

Event lighting Hire - Wedding lighting

The name Marquee Malarkey implies that everything we do is in, on, or around a marquee. It is true to say that the bulk of our work involves marquees, it is not always the case.

From the very beginning, we have always offered an exiting, and adventurous lighting service with our marquees. We have a wealth of experience gathered from season after season of marquee hire. We want to to bring this experience, knowledge and creativity to other events and venues. Indoor, or outdoor. Wedding, party, or corporate function - Marquee Malarkey can bring the stylish finishing touches for any event.

We use an extensive stock of conventional theatrical lighting, and also intelligent moving head lighting fixtures. Lighting design is our forte.

Regards,

Marquee Malarkey

Lighting hire - Wedding lighting

Marquee Malarkey - Northampton

Marquee Malarkey has recently provided marquee hire services for a wedding in Northamptonshire.

The beautiful location allowed for a simple but effective wedding marquee with clear gable and walls, giving a great panorama of the surrounding coutryside and church in which the couple were to be married. Although the marquee is unfinished in this picture, it gives an idea of simple, traditional style the client wanted to achieve.

Marquee Malarkey also provided outdoor event lighting - we lit up several very well-established and beautiful trees, now in full leaf - simple, yet wonderfully effective. Architectural lighting was used on the charming church, to ensure that it was the central feature of the wedding throughout the ceremony, daytime reception (clear gable) and evening reception.

It was a wonderful feature for a wedding marquee that all guests were delighted by, as was the client. The inside was lit with ceiling floods and uplights. The marquee was a great success and the bride and groom made the mostof the warm weather during the wedding event. The only thing remaining to clear up is the ghost living somewhere around the church......

Regards,

Marquee Malarkey

Marquees in Malvern - Midweek

The weather has been fantastic for the last couple of days - ideal weather for building marquees. It has been interesting week so far.. We've launched our new website, I've been busily planning all sorts - marquee lighting, transparent staging - we are going to be building a transparent dance floor over a swimming pool - plus all the usual day to day jobs.

We are preparing for a trip to Edinborough, where we are providing services for one of our corporate clients.. It'll be a long drive from Worcestershire, but hopefully we'll have a nice few days up there as the work should not be overly taxing.


Regards,
Marquee Malarkey
