With the weather warming up and summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to prepare your hospitality business for the busy season ahead. Whether you manage a bar, hotel, café, restaurant or event space, creating more room could help you make the most of the incoming crowds. Here’s how a marquee can help you get ready.
Peak season brings increased footfall, and every extra seat can mean extra income. A marquee offers a quick, practical solution for adding usable space to your venue — whether you’ve got a garden, patio, terrace or even a small courtyard. With a wide range of sizes and styles, our marquees can be installed in just a few hours and immediately start paying for themselves.
We can set up structures on decking, lawns, car parks or even attached to your main building. If you’re working with an unusual layout or limited access, we can design a tailored structure to suit — transforming even tricky corners into valuable customer space.
Our marquees come with a variety of configuration choices, including clear roof and side panels, so you can preserve natural light and scenic views. You can even go for a roof-only structure with open sides — ideal for keeping customers dry during passing showers while still enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
It’s not just about the structure — we can provide everything you need to complete your extra space from chairs and tables to dance floors, lighting and even mobile bars. Heating and flooring options can be added too, including patio heaters for those cooler summer evenings.
Whether you need a marquee for a single weekend event or for the entire summer, we offer flexible hire periods to suit your plans — days, weeks, months or even longer.
One of the big advantages of a marquee is the ability to adjust quickly. If your business takes off or an event exceeds expectations, we can extend your marquee in a matter of hours. Or, if things quieten down, we can reduce the size just as easily. Internal partitions are also available, so you can create separate zones and reconfigure them as needed.
Many hotels and venues have ample accommodation but not enough event space to match. A marquee allows you to host larger functions — from weddings to corporate events — that will in turn lead to more overnight stays and food & drink sales. It’s a win-win.
When summer winds down, your marquee can be removed with minimal disruption. We’ll handle the takedown quickly and discreetly at a time that works best for you and your business.
Thinking about a permanent extension? A marquee is a great way to trial the idea. It gives you the chance to evaluate customer demand and layout ideas before investing in a more permanent structure.
Demand is high from April to September, so it pays to book early. If you’re looking to boost your venue’s capacity and revenue during these key months, now’s the time to act.
