With over 40 years of experience in designing, organising and delivering stunning winter & Christmas marquees, we can help you to create your perfect seasonal party.
Marquees aren’t just for summer, they can be used all year round to create exciting and very creative party spaces. We think there’s something wonderful about being warm inside when it’s cold outside. Our specialist, heated, winter and Christmas marquees provide the perfect contrast to a frosty backdrop.
And much more besides! All of our winter and Christmas marquees are individually designed, bespoke to each of our clients needs and wishes. We offer seasonal marquees for hire in a wide variety of sizes, orientations, marquee styles and layouts. We can supply furniture, lighting, heating, electrics, sound systems, stages, dance floors, DJ booths, catering area, theming and styling and more. In fact, we can supply your marquee as a ready to use, fully functioning temporary marquee party venue. Whether you are looking for something simple or sophisticated, big budget or small, we’ll have a beautiful marquee solution for you.
This beautiful Winter Marquee was created for a birthday party in mid December. Featuring carpeted, raised boarded flooring, glass doors and wall panels, clear roof panels with white sails, a mirrored dance floor, a mirrored bar and a thermostatically controlled heating system. We think you’ll agree, the result was stunning!
This stunning Christmas party marquee was built within the grounds of RHS Garden, Wisley. It featured raised and carpeted wooden flooring, glass windows along one side, a starcloth ceiling over a black and white dance floor, stage, DJ booth, two bars – including a semi-circular wooden bar, built in luxury toilets, chill out zones, a pagoda marquee reception space with cloakroom, chandeliers, a thermostatically controlled warm air heating system, locking UPVC doors with glass windows and a caterers extension marquee.
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 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.
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.
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.
We make planning your winter and Christmas marquees effortless, leaving you free to concentrate on enjoying your party with your guests. Our Complete Service offers a seamless end-to-end solution; from your marquee, flooring, linings, lighting, star cloth, tables, chairs, catering, Christmas trees and decorations; DJ’s, music, heating, walkways, electricity generators and luxury loos; we will deliver a 5 star service that you can rely on.

In the run up to your event, we’ll coordinate all of your marquee related your third party suppliers; caterers, bar suppliers, bands, DJ’s, furniture suppliers, luxury toilet suppliers and so on, ensuring that they have everything that they need from us, and that they know what time they are expected to arrive. Plus, we’ll be there during the build and de-rig phases, managing and coordinating delivery and removal of all third party items.

We regularly work with a variety of different event planners and coordinators at our clients request. An event coordinator can make a huge difference to an event, taking the stress out of planning and management, both in the run up to and on the day of the event.
However, not everybody wants, needs or can afford to hire a full time event planner. Therefore, we work with an event coordination specialist to offer our own, simplified, but comprehensive Premium Level Event Co-ordination service. Allowing you to step back, relax and enjoy your wedding or event.
Contact us for a bespoke quote if you would prefer a more in depth service for your event. Our event coordinator is available for full wedding and event planning and management services.
Full event coordination services include, but are not limited to: Supplier selection, event design, personal assistant services and guest management services, setting down at the end of the event, present and card collection and delivery from event (weddings and parties).
