Dogs

If you have a dog, please ensure that the lawn area is cleared before we arrive, it is very difficult to get off matting and linings.

Entertainment & discos

We need to know if your band or disco will require a power supply and if so how much. They may also need a stage (8’x4x’1’ section available on request).

Final numbers

We will contact you about 10 days before the event to establish your final numbers for chairs tables etc, please do call us if you know in advance.

Grass

Please cut the grass as near as you can prior to the arrival of the marquee (with the pick up box on) .The marquee can stay in place for up to 3 weeks before any permanent damage is done to the grass.

Napkins & table cloths

Please take care of these, we will charge for cigarette burns and mildew on table cloths and napkins. If they are wet with wine or food please allow them to dry, as mildew will form if they are put into bags when wet. A new table cloth costs over £50!

Opening the sides

We will show you how to do this when the marquee is put up, it is very easy.

Power

We will need to take a power supply from your house to run marquee lights, a 13 amp socket is usually sufficient but if caterers are using boilers ovens etc we will need to tap into your mains supply .This would be at extra cost.
