Marquee hire FAQs for Peterborough events

Clear answers before you choose your event space.

How much is marquee hire in Peterborough?

We quote for the suitable structure, date, site, hire period, access and services requested. There is no fixed published marquee rate on this website. Ask for an itemised total covering your actual event.

What marquee sizes do you offer?

The modular marquee is 13m wide, with lengths from 3m to 24m in 3m sections. Separate options include a 6m × 6m pagoda and a 10m × 10m top-hat pagoda. Availability and a suitable configuration are confirmed for your date and site.

How many guests can a marquee hold?

The team considers the layout, activities, furniture, circulation and site. Dimensions alone do not establish a safe or suitable capacity. Share both daytime and evening numbers where they differ.

Are flooring, tables and lighting included?

Only the equipment and services listed in your written proposal are included. Flooring, carpet, lining, furniture, lighting and dance floor requirements can be discussed. Gallery images show individual event specifications.

Do you hire pagodas for garden parties?

You can enquire about the 6m × 6m and 10m × 10m pagoda options for a garden event. The team first checks the intended use, access, site and availability.

Can I choose a marquee just from my guest number?

Start with the guest number, then describe dining, dancing, catering, entertainment and equipment. Layout and site assessment determine the appropriate specification; a headcount-only calculation is not enough.

Will the marquee fit in my garden?

Send the usable dimensions if known, site photographs when requested and the full access route. Gates, steps, tight turns, obstacles, ground and installation space need consideration before suitability is confirmed.

Can marquees go on any surface?

Do not assume every surface or location is suitable. Describe the ground and known overhead or underground services. The team assesses installation requirements and confirms whether the proposed site can be used.

Do I need permission from the venue or landowner?

Confirm that the venue or landowner permits the event and proposed installation. Ask about access windows, restrictions and other requirements. The team confirms its own installation needs separately.

Can you arrange catering or other equipment?

Describe what you want to include so availability and the specification can be discussed. Catering, furniture, lighting and other services are individual proposal items, not automatic marquee inclusions.

Who arranges power and lighting outside?

Raise the lighting, catering, sound and other power requirements in your brief. Ask who supplies each element and what is included. External guest-route lighting and generators must not be assumed to be part of the base structure.

When do you install and collect?

Installation, handover, takedown and collection windows are agreed around the event and site. Explain the venue’s access times, working restrictions and onsite contact in your enquiry.

How far in advance should I enquire?

Once you know the likely date and location, share the brief so availability and next steps can be discussed. We do not promise that any date or structure remains available until the written booking process confirms it.

What are the deposit and cancellation terms?

Payment amounts, deadlines, changes and cancellation terms are set out in the written booking paperwork. Read those terms for your event before confirming; this preview does not publish a substitute percentage or deadline.

Do you cover Hampton, Orton, Bretton, Werrington and Eye?

We welcome enquiries from these Peterborough-area communities and consider the actual postcode, date and site brief. They are areas served, not separate branches. Delivery and travel arrangements are confirmed in the proposal.

Can I submit an enquiry on this website now?

Not yet. The enquiry page is a preview with disabled fields. The domain, branded email and delivery checks must be completed before it accepts submissions. It does not send or save enquiry details.

Does sending an enquiry reserve my date?

No. The team first checks availability, site suitability and the specification. A date, price or booking is agreed only through the written booking process.

What if the weather or site conditions change?

Tell the team about changes to the site or conditions and follow the agreed event and operating arrangements. Suitability depends on the actual setup and circumstances; this guide does not promise use in every condition.

The next useful step

Prepare your date, postcode, approximate numbers, intended activities and a short description of the site. You can use the planning checklist to gather the details before the enquiry service opens.
