Winter Marquee Hire – Perfect for Christmas and New Year Parties

Marquees are not just for Summer Events and make the perfect venue for Winter Charity Balls, Bonfire Night, Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Our marquee heaters are thermostatically controlled to keep the marquee nice and warm. The addition of a solid floor under the carpet keeps chills at bay and if there’s lots of comings and goings, we can fit some wooden doors to keep the heat in.

For parties, we black starlit roof linings with twinkling LED lights which along with LED sound-to-light uplighters and the all-important dance floor, help to create a nightclub effect. We can also light up outside with festoon lights on shepherds crooks or strings of fairy lights or colour changing uplighters.

We can install covered walkways to ensure that your guests remain dry and we can lay paths if the ground is wet or muddy.

We can also supply furniture, toilets, generator, bar counters, fridges…and much much more.

Wedding season is almost upon us and we are excited that we have more wedding marquees booked this year than ever before!

Throughout Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, we are installing wedding marquees in private gardens, in the grounds of some fabulous country houses and hotels, in fields, farms and campsites.

The flexibility of having a marquee wedding seems to really appeal to those couples that want something a little bit different.

A marquee gives couples the ability to create any theme or atmosphere, specify any type of furniture and seating arrangement, use lighting for extra effect and add additional tented areas for a blessing ceremony, drink reception, catering, bar or chill-out area.

Whether its a traditional type wedding reception or an informal festival type affair, a marquee will create a magical and unique venue.

Marquee sizes and capacity – just what size marquee do you need?

Posted on November 4, 2015 by

Marquees come in all sizes…at Maidmans Marquees our frame marquees come in 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m widths and the lengths are in sections of 3m.

By deciding how many guests you want at your event, you can then use our marquee occupancy guidelines to see how big a marquee you might need. Obviously, these are only estimates but generally give a good indication of sizing. However, bear in mind that the addition of a photo booth, bar, stage, casino table etc may mean you need more space.

Our frame marquees don’t have guy ropes, so other than a small gap around the outside of the marquee, we dont need to allow any extra space. If room is tight, measure up the available area and then find a marquee that fits – use our occupancy guidelines to then see the maximum number of guests that can be accommodated.

We always conduct a site visit before we accept a marquee booking so we will double check measurements and discuss what exactly you want to include in your marquee. We can then advise on the final size.

To book a site visit, which is free and without obligation, please contact us.

Maidmans Marquee hire Salisbury Charity ball

Posted on May 19, 2015 by

Maidmans Marquee hire Salisbury Charity ball, Marquees make great venues for all types of charity events but particularly fund-raising balls.

The opulence that a marquee can create is in keeping with a formal event and guests suited, booted and dressed in their finery!

Our marquees were recently installed for a wonderful evening at Chafyn Grove School in Salisbury, Wiltshire and catered for over 260 guests. As well as the lined marquees, we installed a dance floor (this crowd loved their dancing) covered by a twinkling starlit ceiling, a stage for the band, a screened off catering area, thermostatically controlled heating and a large area for the all-important bar.

We loved the final result!

If you are planning a fund-raising event, however large or small, and are considering hiring a marquee, please contact us and we can help!
