FAQs

I would like a marquee, but as yet do not have a venue?

We have installed marquees throughout the Cotswolds and surrounding areas, however we are more than happy to provide our services at any location. We will supply a sample quote, which will include the size of marquee needed for your guests and can be updated when a venue has been confirmed. We have worked at many venues and can suggest any that maybe suitable.

How do I decide the size of the marquee required for my event?

A member of staff will normally carry out a site visit to advise on the size and layout of a marquee to suite the venue. You need to carefully consider how you intend to use the space available, as you are likely to require reception space, furniture and accessories.

Can I make use of a communal venue or existing building?

We have on many occasions installed linings at village halls, social clubs, barns etc and it is always worth enquiring as you maybe surprised as to what we can provide. In addition to this it can be possible to extend the space of an existing building by attaching a marquee.

Can Cotswold Marquees provide a marquee on a sloping or uneven surface?

Many sites have deceivingly uneven surfaces, but using our modern raised steel flooring Cotswold Marquees are well equipped to provide a level finish on almost any surface. In all instances a site visit will be carried out to discuss your options.

Will I have a variety of interiors to choose from to personalise my event?

Cotswold Marquees stock an extensive range of linings in different colours and styles. Linings soften the look of the interior of a marquee and with the correct choice of lighting can create a fantastic finish. We also have a large range of different coloured carpets to choose from.
