Is a marquee really suitable in autumn and winter?

With their sophisticated heating systems, great lighting schemes and boarded and carpeted floors offering extra insulation, our winter and Christmas marquees continue to be used for parties, weddings and events throughout autumn and winter. You can read more about winter marquees here.

Winter weddings and winter parties

Winter weddings are growing in popularity and a beautiful winter marquee can make the perfect venue for a unique, bespoke wedding reception. The autumn offers a variety of dazzling colours, shades and tones. The winter months offer a crisp, fresh backdrop, a blank canvas upon which to create a stunning reception space.

The best parties always take place after dark!

During the summer the sun can still be shining as late as 10pm; some guests may want to be outside, which is lovely, but not necessarily ideal for creating a party atmosphere. Not a problem with a winter marquee – with the sun setting early and the temperature dropping, your guests will want to be warm and snug inside!

For weddings, if you time it right, the subtle winter light will fade during the wedding breakfast with the sun setting during the speeches. Just in time for the party to start!

Whatever your event, venue lighting is always key, but especially during the winter months. Get it right and you’ll create a wonderful space in which your guests can party the night away.

Twinkling fairy lights and candles on tables create a magical and memorable setting. Uplighters, roof lights and external lighting can deliver spectacular effects. Cosy furniture, heating, snug, warm marquee linings and carpets all combine with a great lighting scheme to create a warm and welcoming environment.

Whether you are celebrating Christmas, a milestone birthday, an anniversary, company event or wedding reception, winter marquees make incredible celebration spaces.

Heating for Christmas and Winter Marquees

We offer a subtle, thermostatically controlled, ‘indirect’ heating system to warm our Christmas and winter marquees. Stored outside of the marquee, our heater units are powered by kerosene or diesel. Slimline, floor level vents; subtly integrated into the Marquee design for an unobtrusive look and feel, are used to deliver heat to the marquee.

Our heater units are thermostatically controlled, making it very easy set and adjust the heating levels to ensure that they are just right for your event, all evening long. Additionally, our heater units double up as fans. So, if the evening turns out to be warmer than expected, you can simply switch from heat to fan in order to circulate air around your marquee venue.

Our marquee heaters are incredibly easy to use and the thermostat functions can be accessed and operated from inside the Marquee; so you won’t need to brave the elements to adjust the temperature settings! You can find out more about our marquee heaters here.
