Say a big hello to Will, our newest member of our team 👋

Have you already spotted Will setting up on site? Will joined us earlier this year from one of our certified providers Original Marquees after a relocation to Yorkshire, so he hit the ground running already trained in the Wills way!

At the moment, you'll find him either in the canvas workshop splicing ropes or in the woodshop creating wall poles and finials, multi talented!

Did you know our walls roll up? But what makes ours different, is that they are designed to fit perfectly underneath our valance - neat!

We love the free flowing inside-outside space that rolled up walls create.

As night falls, they can be released to keep you and all your guests cosy and the party going.

Who would you trust to roll your walls up? Let us know below!

Walkway of dreams! Festoons, giant crooks and matting leading the way to the partaaayyyy (or the way home 😭) are always a good idea.

Chris and I grew up locally and spent many hours visiting Newby Hall with our families. Subsequently we carried on the tradition, taking our own children (who all work at Wills) to visit and play, so it has a special place in our hearts 🤍 and we just love going back there now as a marquee supplier!

These images are taken from our open day with Newby Hall Weddings by the very talented which shows Newby Hall and the west lawn which leads to River Ure. Beautiful isn't it?

Hands up if you'v also spent many a happy hour Newby Hall & Gardens 🙋‍♀️

Fancy adding bit of extra WOW to the front of your Wills? Swipe for portico and double walkway inspo 👉

We love the centrally placed portico on this four pole marquee teamed with a double width of walkway matting sitting pretty at Ilkley Golf Club. The portico makes it possible for a super wide grand entrance PLUS an extra barrier against the elements if the weather isn't playing ball.

Back to summer today with this beautiful wedding at home in North Yorkshire, set in the most immaculate gardens and on the most glorious day it must have been a dream come true for Finlay & Hannah 👰🤵

How lucky to not only the wedding reception at home, but also to be able to say their vows al fresco in the nearby woodland with their nearest and dearest. GOALS!!

We love weddings at home and Katie & Hayley’s wedding was no exception. The ceremony was on the lawn with the marquee straight onto grass, followed by chats, drinks and nibbles and then onto the main marquee for a wedding breakfast, speeches and dancing.

Laid back, lots of fun and joy. Take a look at their very special day 🏳️‍🌈

Our Story

The first Wills Marquee was bought for founders, Chris & Lynsey’s own wedding and we’ve been hiring out tents for weddings and parties ever since.

In 2015 we began to make marquees for ourselves using techniques passed down to us by boat builders, seamstresses, carpenters and engineers. Although we are constantly developing techniques and making product improvements, essentially every tent has a timeless quality that comes from a long heritage of bespoke tent making by hand.

All Wills Marquees share the same design principles and palette of materials. Cotton canvas, the original sailcloth, is the perfect material for light, airy interiors whilst swooping roof lines create beautifully elegant silhouettes and wooden detailing throughout helps to convey a sense of timeless luxury. Every marquee features clear walls which, on hot days can be rolled up or folded back to let in even more of the outside.

A Wills Marquee is the ultimate outdoor party space in which to celebrate life’s milestones.
