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

New youtube video - Marquee Malarkey in Warwickshire
Marquee Malarkey recently returned to Warwick School to build a 60' single pole tension marquee.
We put the same size marquee in exactly the same spot last year - at the same time we made a time lapse video of the marquee going up. We posted the video on youtube - it has now had over 450 views!
One year on we have made another video..
Time-lapse again, we present: "How to put up a marquee by Marquee Malarkey"
This video shows in slightly higher quality the various stages involved in building a tension marquee.
We hope to return to Warwick School next year!

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!

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......

Marquee Hire FAQ
What Size Marquee?
Firstly, consider what you are using the marquee for, taking into particular account the number of guests. Allow 1.125sqm/person for a seated dinner at round tables, 0.75sqm/person for a standing reception, 0.5sqm/person for a dance floor space.
Secondly, consider the space you have available. Marquees generally come in fixed widths. 6m, 9m 12m, 15m, 18m up to 50m for the really big ones. Frame marquees or (clear-span marquees) have bays of 3m, so can be built in multiples of 3m, but tension tents, larger clearpans and other structures have differing bay lengths.
What Type of Marquee / Temporary Structure?
We supply many different structures, always selected according to the specific needs of each individual client. Any struture selected must be practical, but this should not deter from getting the aesthetics right. Clearspan marquees are almost always practical, but other marquee styles, including traditional (pole marquees), more modern tension tents, and other more unusual structures such as saddlespans, are absolutely perfect in the right setting.
Each have there own disadvantages and advantages - we will work with you to determine the most suitable structure accoring to practicality and taste. There are several key factors:
1. What size area you have available
2. Type of surface (grass, hard-standing etc)
3. Time of year
4. Overall event style/theme
5. Interior decor, theming and layout
Grass of Hard Standing?
Marquees can be built on virtually any surface. Grass is easiest, and offers the greatest possible range of structures, but most hardstanding surfaces can be easily built on.
How long does it take to put up a marquee?
Depending on the complexity of the job, the size of structure, and various other factors, anywhere from a couple of hours to many days! We will be able to advise on build times.
Can a marquee be built on an inclined slope / uneven ground?
Yes! Very gentle slopes are normally require no special work, slightly steeper slopes/unveven ground often needs a ring-beam floor. For more severe slopes and terrain, a full scaffold stage may be required.
Are marquees only suitable for summer events?
No - We use marquees for events all year round - don't worry, heating is always available!
Do we need a generator?
We will carry out a detailed assessment of your event power requirements. We will only allow safe, reliable power supplies. Larger events normally require generators, unless there is a nearby 3ph power supply (63-125amp). We may also specify a second generator combined with an AMF panel. (Stand-by generator)
Can a marquee be directly attached to a building or other structure?
Yes, although care and consideration must be taken with allowing for guttering etc.
I want a stage for a band in a Marquee - is this possible?
Yes - Absolutely! We use an excellent system - litedeck - to create raised areas. We may need to use a marquee on taller legs (3m) to allow a stage of good height.
Marquees are often lit by tacky gold effect chandeliers - can I have something more modern?
Absolutely! We encourage the use of lighting effects. We use a lot of theatrical lanterns - profiles, fresnels, Par Cans to create all manner of lighting effects. We also love to light outside areas - trees, buildings (churches especially!)
Should I shop around for quotes?
Yes, by all means - however, always ensure you are comparing like for like, both in terms of quality and structure.
What style of interior can I have?
Anything you like. We encourage you to use your imagination and come to us with an idea. We really enjoy working with creative/imaginative clients to turn their dreams into reality - just about anything is possible.

Unusual marquee hire requirements
As the year trundles on it would seem that the appeal of Marquee Malarkey's marquee hire services is growing, especially in relation to associated event equipment hire. Our bespoke and luxury services, as well as our large marquee hire, are proving popular with many slightly unusual requirements coming in thick and fast from London to Manchester. From magnificent dance floors (no details - its still a secret), to beautiful coloured linings and traditional tribal tents, the requests are becoming ever more diverse.
We hope that the reason for this is now that people are counting their pennies a little more, they really seek great value and something a little different from their marquee hire services. Long may it continue!

Facebook marquee hire group
Well the Facebook group for Marquee Malarkey is going well and, provided it continues to grow in this vain, we will think about putting on a special marquee event for all our fans to attend. Our marquee hire services are obviously available to all our fans, and we hope that they will hire marquees from us at some point, probably wedding marquee hire or party marquee hire since corporate marquee hire is not exactly a booming market these days! However, even for those who do not use our marquee hire services, we will be inviting them just for showing their support to our luxury marquee hire company. So keep sharing the marquee hire love on Facebook and we promise your loyalty will be rewarded in the end!
Rock on marquee hire UK!
