Beautiful Marquee’s for Hire Sussex and Surrey
Marquee Hire Sussex have had a successful year with many special winter marqueeevents, delivering a solution that beats the elements, adds sparkle, whilst keeping guests warm and toasty, is always their pleasure. It was hard to choose just 2 winter events to feature in this blog, but we’ve selected a variety of different occasions to highlight the solutions a marquee can provide.
1) BBSRC 20th Anniversary
Another significant event, the BBSRC 20th Anniversary celebration, pulled out all the stops. Taking place on land next to the Museum of Childhood in East London we provided marquees for an exhibition and informal drinks reception on the opening evening. This enabled the client to have a separate event space creating a special focus for this special anniversary.
As well as providing the marquee we also supplied lighting, power, heating and support technicians on site.
2) Chessington Garden Centre
We have been delighted to work with Chessington Garden Centre for a number of years providing marquess for both their Halloween and Christmas events. Chessington Garden Centre’s Christmas Grotto is legendary and is the second largest in the country (after the Trafford Centre). For an event of this size, attracting so many extra visitors, it is inevitable that additional space is needed.
We have been delighted to supply marquees to extend the café area so that the many hungry families can refuel in a warm and dry environment after visiting the big man in the red suit.

Business Excellence Award Winner
Trafalgar and JF Marquees is an award-winning, full-service marquee and event management company, founded by James Morris in 2007.
Like all great entrepreneurial ideas, JF began on the back of a beer mat, eventually building into one of the largest businesses of its kind in London and south-west England.
Part of this growth includes the merging with Trafalgar Marquees, founded by Stephen Shiner, who, as the current Operations Director, is the man behind the day-to-day runnings. Indeed, the joint venture has diversified the event company’s capabilities in size, scope and service.
This was just the first of two additional acquisitions, with Morris and Shiner, who have sites in Cobham, Marquee Hire Surrey, and Petworth, Marquee Hire Sussex, adding event furniture and Marquee Hire to their holdings.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT LAYOUT FOR MY MARQUEE?
Marquee Hire Surrey have very informative blog posts on their site, if you are thinking of hiring a marquee they are definitely the people to contact. Our company was wanting to hire a marquee for a large corporate function and we did not know where to turn. Marquee Hire came highly recommended so we contacted them and they gave us brilliant service from beginning to end.
When considering marquee layouts, and what seating to choose, there is a large amount of choice available; a certain aspect will be dictated by the type of function and whether it is a fully seated, part seating, or standing function.
Whilst we stock a wide variety of furniture, it is key to consider what atmosphere you are trying to create in your marquee, so that the furniture can be used to help add to this.
For fully seated functions we would recommend either 8 guests sat at 5ft round tables or 10 guests sat at 5ft 6″ round tables, allowing a 3x3m space for each table. We also stock 6ft round tables to seat 12 guests, however these are suited for more formal functions, as due to the size it makes it much harder for guests to speak to each other across the table. For top tables, for more traditional events such as weddings, we have long tables (4ft or 6ft long), and oval tables to suit a varying number of guests. Of course, like all of our marquees and events, none of this is set in stone, we can fine tune the furniture and marquee to suit your finer requirements.
For an informal function or part seated buffet using a range of table sizes works very well. It also breaks down the structure to create a more informal atmosphere. 3ft round tables work particularly well. We also have a variety of other seating available for hire including cubed seats, sofas, poseur tables; which can all add to the atmosphere, and create another area in the marquee, please feel free to browse the furniture we have available.
We are always happy to draft table layouts for our clients or to show other corporate events, private parties or weddings we have helped create in marquees, so do feel free to drop us a line if would like some assistance, or just a friendly chat about your event.
