Venue Marquees & Temporary Event Buildings

Add Capacity with Semi-Permanent Venues & Event Structures

Venues often need more space than their permanent footprint allows, whether that’s for weddings, seasonal events, or dedicated party space.

We supply venue marquees and temporary event buildings on medium, long-term and semi-permanent hire.

These structures increase guest capacity, provide covered outdoor event areas, or create fully branded extensions for hotels, stately homes and wedding venues. Many are retained for months or years, designed to look and feel like an integral part of your venue.

Installed with care, reconfigurable by bay, and fully managed from survey to de-rig across Surrey, London and the Southeast (with UK-wide projects by agreement).

When your existing event rooms can’t keep up with demand, our venue marquees and venue extensions provide additional space quickly and attractively.

  • Modular by bay: increase or reduce capacity as needed.
  • Styled interiors with draping, lining, chandeliers and glazing to complement your venue.
  • Fully managed: survey, drawings, installation, inspections, maintenance, de-rig.
  • Engineered for site-specific conditions including heritage and landscaped grounds
  • Planning support: documentation and drawings to ease approvals.

  • Temporary hospitality structure

    Effingham Golf Club needed a temporary dining structure that would enable members and guests to dine safely while maintaining distancing requirements. The space had to offer the same welcoming atmosphere as the clubhouse, complement the surrounding architecture and gardens, and be operational within a very short timeframe.
