In January we will be setting up our new 'Open showroom', within our Lancaster warehouse.

This showroom, running for a month, will replace our older style 'Open days' with the hope it will give more of our customers and clients the opportunity to see one of our marquees properly set up.

As with our open days, the marquee will be erected within our warehouse, ensuring everyone can take a good look around without being put off by any inclement weather.

Bookings will be by appointment only and we'll ensure we have a healthy supply of drinks available and smiley members of the team to meet with you and discuss our products and services.

Please don't hesitate to give us a call on 01524 63090 to get yourself booked in!

We look forward to seeing there!

With the above in mind, we will soon be adding a number of seasonal/temporary staff members to our workforce in the roles of marquee erectors & 7.5t drivers.

The roles will require heavy lifting, working as a team and following the guidance/instruction of our son-site foremen.

If you have what it takes - fit & healthy, a great work ethic, a keen eye for detail and the ability to follow detailed instructions - apply now!

We will require our new staff for a number of weeks/months (possibly until October), from the start of June.

Following Boris' Covid Roadmap announcement, with plans for 'outdoor hospitality' services to resume from the 12th April, does your business require extra sheltered areas?

All of our marquees (framed and traditional) can have the sides removed, leaving the roof canopy for shelter from rain, inclement weather or, fingers crossed, extreme sunshine! 🤞🏼☀️

We will be providing marquees for private hire events and will also be assisting pubs, bars and restaurants 🍻🥂with temporary structures in order to enable them to continue serving their guests and loyal customers, whilst maintaining social distancing measures.

Make sure to be quick as our bookings are coming in quickly!

If you have any requirements we may be able to assist with, please
call ☎️ us on 01524 63090 or

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

In-line with the new government guidelines, we are now able to provide marquees for wedding receptions of up to 30 people.

Following advice from our local health authority, we are also able to provide marquees for parties or events over and above this number, providing the side walls are removed.
This means we can still provide you with a roofed marquee, to protect from rain or provide shelter during the heat.

These marquees are extremely popular during the summer seasons and can be provided with flooring and furniture.

Give us a call on 01524 63090 or email us at [email protected] to discuss your requirements.

PETITION:
Government to offer economic assistance to the events industry during COVID-19.

We would like the UK government to provide economic assistance to businesses and staff employed in the events industry, who are suffering unforeseen financial challenges, that could have a profound effect on hundreds of thousands of people employed in the sector.

The UK events industry is facing an unprecedented challenge as a result of the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, and the events that have been cancelled as a result.

The industry is worth more than £14 billion to the economy, with 25,000 businesses supporting over 500,000 employees—all of whom are nervous about whether their next event will go ahead or not, and how their income may be affected.
