Marquee Hire

Marquee Hire

Looking for Marquee Hire that takes the stress out of planning an outdoor event? You’re in the right place. Anything for Hire has spent more than 20 years connecting organisers with trusted local and national suppliers, and we know how a perfectly pitched marquee can transform a wet, windy day into a memory everyone talks about for years.

Types of Marquees

Not every event needs the same roof. Below you’ll find the common options and when they work best — practical, honest advice so you choose with confidence.

Pole Marquees

Pole marquees create that classic, romantic undulation of fabric and peak. They’re anchored with central poles and guy ropes, ideal for grass sites and festivals where a traditional look matters.

Frame Marquees

Frame marquees don’t need centre poles, which makes them great for dance floors and banqueting layouts. They’re flexible on surfaces — hardstanding or turf — and simple to attach flooring and linings to.

Clearspan Marquees

Want uninterrupted interior space? Clearspan marquees deliver wide, column-free expanses. They’re the go-to for large corporate events, exhibitions and weddings that need a clean, modern feel.

Pagoda & Stretch Tents

For smaller parties or a stylish cocktail area, pagodas and stretch tents add sculptural flair. They’re quick to erect and create intimate zones on lawns or paved courtyards.

How to Choose the Right Marquee

Choosing the right option is more than square metres and price. Think about guest experience, weather contingencies and how the marquee will work with catering, lighting and AV. If you’re wondering where to start, this quick checklist helps:

• Guest numbers and circulation space
• Site surface and access for delivery
• Event style — formal seating, standing reception, or mixed-use
• Integration with power, heating/cooling and flooring
• Permits or site-specific constraints

If you prefer a guided choice, the team at Anything for Hire can match your brief to suitable suppliers — use our filters to narrow by distance, availability and provider ratings.

Logistics & Setup

Logistics make or break an event. From access gates to overnight security, planning these details early saves headaches on the day. Here’s what professionals look at first:

1. Site survey and ground condition assessment
2. Delivery windows, assembly time and dismantle scheduling
3. Power, lighting, toilets and emergency exits
4. Weatherproofing — sidewalls, flooring and heating where needed
5. Insurance and liability checks

A well-planned setup can mean the difference between a frazzled finish and a smooth, on-time event. Ask suppliers for clear setup timelines on Anything for Hire so you can coordinate caterers, entertainers and transport.
