Choosing a venue for your marquee

Choosing a venue for your event is very important here is some ideas to consider

Marquee or venue – where to start

Choosing a venue for your marquee is just as important as choosing the marquee itself! In fact choosing the venue first would be advised as then you have more of an idea of the size of the marquee to go for and the shape. Marquees are great in that they are very flexible and there are many options to choose from to suit your venue perfectly.

When choosing your venue for your marquee what kind of things should be considered?

Well the first decision to make is location for example South Yorkshire, Sheffield, Yorkshire, Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Doncaster, North Yorkshire, Manchester etc. The location of your venue will depend on who will be attending the event and so you may want to choose a place that is central, or if the majority of your guests are located in Manchester it makes more sense to have the venue around that area.

When you have narrowed down the county / town for your venue this gives you a better starting off point.  Using your garden, or a garden of a friend or colleague has advantages as there would be no charge and no time or volume restrictions, it would be a friendly informal atmosphere – plus you’ll be able to nip into the house for anything you have forgotten!

Another option is to think about your area and what is well known for holding such events such as the local park. Or if it is a works event having the marquee in the works car park would be an idea to keep it close by and neutral.

Rent a venue for your marquee

You can easily search around for companies for rent out land and venues for events and marquees. You may have been recommended a company via a friend, or you can search online by typing ‘marquee venue + your area’ for example ‘marquee venue + West Yorkshire’ or ‘marquee venue + Lancashire’ and see what results come up.
