Our Marquees
In creating the Finest English Marquee Company we looked at suppliers from all over the UK. Many were relatively recent entries into the business but one company stood out above all others in terms of quality with over 100 years’ experience in designing and creating hand crafted Marquees.
Using a mix of canvas and breathable textured membranes our Marquees are industry leading to provide the perfect shade on hot Summer days as well as wind resistance of up to 80 mph to ensure that everything goes well no matter what the weather.
Working with our manufacturer, we have created a range of Marquees which are ideal for all styles and size of event, each one reflecting our joint Heritage as the original English Marquee Company.

Our ethos is simple: “To exceed the expectations of our Clients, our Suppliers and our Staff”
