Lots of bedrooms but a small function room? A marquee can help…

Increase your event space and revenue with a marquee

If you’re running a successful hotel or any venue with accommodation, you’ll be looking forward to the coming months, which are peak event season. Weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, work dos and more are all back on the agenda this year.

Guests love a party with onsite accommodation but many hotels have plenty of bedrooms but not enough function space to match. So, this is the ideal time to capitalise on all these potential new customers and encourage guests not only to visit but to stay the night as well. And that’s where our elegant marquees can help…

Create more function space

A small event space will obviously limit the size of the events you can hold, and fewer guests means fewer overnight bookings. A marquee is the ideal way to add additional space and maximise your revenue, as larger events will undoubtedly lead to more bedrooms being booked, too.

Something to suit every venue

Our marquees come in all shapes and sizes to suit any space and installing them takes just a few hours, meaning you start recouping revenue quickly. We can build our structures in your car park, your garden, over decking or they can be attached to your main building or existing function space, so nobody gets wet when bad weather arrives. We can even put them on your rooftop!

Even the trickiest space, one with limited access, can be covered with a temporary, bespoke structure. Plus it’s the ideal way to create space that’s tailored to your exact needs. Space that’s the perfect size and in the perfect location.

Heating, lighting and decor options

Once your marquee is up there are a wide range of choices when it comes to heating, lighting, flooring and decor, which can be added as needed. We can also supply hand sanitising stations and furniture, if required.

Great value, long-term hire

You can hire our marquees for as long as you want, meaning you can have one in place throughout the whole year, if required. A marquee is also great value for money, given the increased revenue it will generate through party and overnight bookings. For example, a marquee big enough to seat 100 people can be as little as £400 per week for the summer season, depending on your exact requirements. Then, when party season is over, a marquee can come down just as quickly as it went up!

Book early

Lastly, booking early is key. To guarantee that perfect event space, get in touch as soon as you can. We can supply and put up our marquees in as little as 48 hours, if required, but to guarantee the marquee you want at the right time, it’s best to book early. Our peak times are usually April to September and over the Christmas period. So, if you want to maximise your event space, your room bookings and your revenue in these months, give us a call!

Fantastic support to us
Trafalgar Structures have been a fantastic support to us since we reopened after lockdown. The provision of a high quality marquee to help facilitate our opening strategy meant we could cater for adult and child classes whilst following the required government guidance. The service and workmanship from the team was first class and the team were always happy to help out if any issues arose and amendments to the marquee were needed. I look forward to working with the team again and would fully recommend for any marquee needs

The Lid on the Lawn
‘The Lid on the Lawn’ installed by Trafalgar Structures enabled us to reopen safely after the July 2021 easing of the government guidelines, within 10 days we had a fully operational table service outdoor restaurant. Such has been the successful transformation of the outside space, we have kept the marquee for a longer term hire. The demand for outdoor dining and eventing has increased exponentially and the marquee has enabled us to confidentially offer weather proof ‘outdoor events’. This is now a permanent fixture with an additional full takeaway facility for visitors to the estate. Team Trafalgar are always on hand and have also reacted extremely quickly to the last minute nature of corporate event enquiries. Many thanks.

I cannot find fault in anything they did

We used Trafalgar Structures at the start of lock down. We were very fortunate to be able to remain fully working however, as everyone did, we had to make some major adaptions on our site to accommodate the 2m distancing. I came across Trafalgar Structures and I found them to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and helpful. We had constant changes to the brief but that didn’t matter to James and his team, they were very accommodating and continued to be very helpful and help fulfil the works we required as well as give a lot of suggestions to make this work. The team that erected/ dismantled the marquee were extremely professional and friendly and helpful throughout the 2 days. I would highly recommend Trafalgar Structures and I would certainly use them again. I cannot find fault in anything they did. Thank you all so much for your help and guidance

Trafalgar Structures came to the rescue when the school needed additional outdoor teaching and testing facilities during the Covid pandemic. The cost of hire was extremely competitive and more than reasonable, particularly when you consider their services are much in demand. From the MD to the installers on the ground they were easy to deal with – nothing was too much trouble. Even last minute changes, and their after sales service was just as good. Its not every day you hire a marquee, but if I have to in the future, Trafalgar will be my first port of call. A huge thank you to James and the team!
