    There is a company near me that does that size for £180 per day. I rang around to compare and got quoted 3k by another company! So there is a massive range of prices basically. HTH

    My next door neighbour has a Marquee hire business https://www.maharajahmarquees.co.uk , he's based in West Yorkshire but they have branches in the Midlands. I'm sure if you gave him a ring he'd help.

    when i looked into this i found
    it's not the cost of the marquee that is a problem, it is the insurance cost

    look to see if you have a local scout/army cadet group,they normally have a marquee/big tent and will rent it out for a fee,its a double win you get it cheaper they get funds

    If its a wedding its not just a marquee. Wedding ones will come with an inner lining . A floor. Windows etc . Then its the tables and chairs , electricity for the lights .
    When we had my wedding , also a small dance floor.

    So the difference in price might well be a completely different sort of package.


    PS its not a cheap option , but if you have room , you cant beat it.

    We had one for our wedding 6 years ago and it cost £4k but it did come with tables, chairs, carpet etc.... I just searched the net and got a few quotes etc.

    Re Marquee hire prices: Rough guide cost for 100 guests seated including marquee, linings, carpet, lighting, dancefloor, tables, chairs ranges anything from £1500 to £2500 these would include delivery and vat but you could also accommodate those numbers using a more basic package, for example don't have linings and carpet, and go for cheaper chair styles. Although guide prices are helpful it's important to check out what is included on any quote you get and remember each event has different requirements so prices do vary, i.e. delivery and insurance some companies include it some add it. I would advise always trying a local company first as this will save on delivery costs, also look out for promotional offers which are often great value. Best of luck with your event
