Marquee Hire in Guildford, Surrey
Whether you’re planning a marquee for a wedding reception on the slopes of St Catherine’s Hill, a garden party near Stoke Park, or a corporate gathering close to Guildford’s cathedral and high street, our marquee hire service brings flexibility, elegance, and local expertise to every event.
Guildford offers a prestigious selection of residential styles – from the elegant early-20th-century garden-suburb charm of Abbotswood (a protected conservation area), to luxurious homes on sought-after roads like Fairway and Warren Road – each reflecting the town’s blend of heritage and modern refinement.
“We have hired many marquees before but these guys are by far the best at what they do.”
Tailored Marquee Solutions for Guildford Events
No two Guildford properties are the same, so why should your marquee be? We offer a choice of high-quality structures to suit your event and site:
- Clearspan marquees – ideal for navigating irregular gardens like those near the canal or elevated terrain of Stoke Park.
- Canvas pole marquees – perfectly complementing properties in Charlotteville’s conservation area or period homes near Pewley Down.
- Stretch tents – ideal for relaxed garden parties in Abbotswood’s contemporary estates.
- Extension marquees – Creating extra entertaining space at your home
We take care of everything; flooring, linings, lighting, heating, and layout planning, making sure your marquee enhances your site rather than imposing on it.

Local Insight That Makes a Difference
Guildford’s varied landscape – its undulating hills, cobbled High Street, and leafy suburbs – demands a nuanced approach. We understand local access challenges, preserve sensitive garden features, and design layouts that respect heritage settings and modern estates alike.
We’ve supported clients around St Mary’s Church, Stoke Park Sport Centre, and the quieter fringes by the Surrey Hills. Our local experience ensures we deliver a seamless setup that complements Guildford’s character and aesthetics.
“It was the best wedding ever. The marquee was perfect and we were so happy. I felt proud to have my friends and family looked after in such a complete, ideal environment. Thank you.”
