In the fast-paced world of TV and film, time, flexibility, and sustainability are everything. Behind every successful shoot is a well-planned production setup with a marquee. From rapid deployment to minimal environmental impact, these temporary structures have become an essential part of the industry’s toolkit.
Here’s why marquees are the smart choice for your next production:
Need a full production hub in a matter of hours? Marquees make it possible.
Their modular design and lightweight materials allow them to be erected quickly, transforming any outdoor space into a fully functional base of operations. For instance, during the King’s Coronation at Westminster Abbey, we delivered a complete production hub and equipment storage area for the BBC all within a single morning.
This speed is especially valuable when working on location, where weather, logistics, and shooting schedules often shift at a moment’s notice. Marquees keep your team agile and ready to adapt.
Production demands can change fast and marquees change with them.
Whether you need to expand your space or shift your location entirely, modular marquee systems can be resized or relocated with ease. If your requirements evolve mid-shoot, we’re just a call away to make the adjustments.
Sustainability is no longer optional in today’s production landscape — and marquees help you stay on the right track.
Unlike permanent structures or wasteful single-use builds, marquees are reusable and leave virtually no trace behind. As part of our own commitment to eco-conscious practices, we’re proud to hold a B-Corp certification, highlighting our drive to support greener filmmaking.
We don’t need large lorries to deliver our marquees. This lighter, more efficient fleet reduces emissions and makes it easier to access remote or hard-to-reach locations.
In contrast, portacabins often require heavier transport, increasing environmental impact and limiting where they can be deployed. With our approach, delivery is both eco-friendly and logistically simpler.
Once filming wraps and the marquee comes down, the site is almost exactly as it was. There’s no structural damage, no scarring, and at most, a little flattened grass.
Compare that with the aftermath of a portacabin — the difference is clear.
Support your shoot with the right marquee
Whether it’s for secure equipment storage, cast and crew welfare, or a reliable production office, marquees offer a versatile, efficient, and sustainable solution.
