Festival Marquee Hire

Festival marquee hire specialists

We are festival marquee hire specialists and can offer a broad range of festival marquees, from large temporary structures for central entertainment areas (which can accommodate 1000s of guests), down to a high volume of smaller catering, VIP or service marquees. All of our festival marquees can be fully dressed and equipped with anything from full AV installations to bespoke tack-off linings.

Why hire a festival marquee or structure from Fews?

Our project managers have many years of experience in festivals so you can trust us to deliver the space you need.
We can supply a wide variety of festival marquee structures. From simple stalls to large display areas, everything is within our scope. For larger music festivals we can provide backstage VIP areas and large crowd cover.

The broad range of structures we offer enables us to build clear-span spaces of up 40 meters wide with almost unlimited lengths. This means you won’t have to limit your numbers. If more height is needed, then our Igloo structure can be built up to 16m high. The Igloo also has a phenomenal loading capacity for production.

We also allocate a dedicated project manager to each event. This ensures everything is communicated effectively from the client brief to the installation crew.

Industry-leading service

Alongside our festival marquees and structures, we can provide a full range of ancillary services to ensure your event goes smoothly. These services include lighting, heating/cooling systems, furnishings, toilets and floorings.
We have an enviable reputation and the standard of our service is amongst the highest in the industry. We will do everything necessary to ensure the smooth running of your event. Our project managers will be on hand to make sure that you’re supported through the whole process.
We have a proven track record for supplying festival structures to music events such as Parklife, and cultural events like the Hay Literary Festival.

 

Specialised skills everywhere, anytime

Constructing temporary structures on different sites requires a skilled workforce with specific qualifications:

Health and Safety

There are a number of essential accreditations that are required to work in any environment.  Fews also operate on numerous nuclear sites which means a much higher level of training and accreditation.  There is more information on our accreditations and training programmes. 

Strong adjustable flooring capabilities 

Our flooring capabilities allow for us to install strong and stable flooring systems for our structures onto various surfaces, allowing us to supply stable infrastructure for our structures. Our floors are built with adjustability in mind catering to the dynamic needs of individual sectors that may require specific needs in terms of adjustability. 

Flexible Delivery Schedule

The ability to deliver materials outside of  hours is essential to minimise disruptions to the ongoing activities and ensure the safety of the public and staff alike. This requires coordination and planning to ensure a seamless construction process.

Visibility of Staff and Vehicles

All of our site staff wear branded hi-viz clothing and all of our vehicles are clearly branded for easy identification to ensure the safety of the public and staff.

Use of Segregated Compounds

Fews always establish a compound to store materials and work safely away from staff and the public.

Fews Festival experience 

Our structures provide industry-leading solutions to venues with large crowds at festivals, from our smaller marquees which provide perfect, temporary spaces for the more basic areas behind festivals such as first aid tents or security areas all the way up to main stages and complete crowd coverings fitting capacities in the thousands under our Igloo roof which protects festival go-ers from the weather elements. 

Over a number of years, Fews has carried out projects across a number of different festivals ranging in size all over the UK. From supplying smaller marquee structures for the fundamental areas at festivals such as first aid tents and security tents, to medium-sized areas with our premium marquees that offer outstanding spaces for exclusive VIP areas, all the way up to enormous main staging structures with our Igloo structure that towers above crowds of thousands with its size and scalability. Fews are innovative in the festival industry, providing bespoke festival space solutions for a variety of different solutions, proving their excellence when it comes to providing the very best structures with an unrivaled level of service.  

Concerts, Shows and Outdoor Staging with our Igloo

Throughout the year there are many concerts, shows, and other events that would benefit from being held outside of the regular venue circuit but need protection in case the British weather intervenes. Where the audience is of a significant size or the show needs a lot of height then a particular type of structure is required.  If a large stage is also needed then this structure is perfect.

The Igloo is an ideal structure to host events that require staging. Large, clear-span widths of up to 40 meters and almost unlimited lengths mean huge audiences can be easily accommodated. In addition, the huge load-bearing capability allows full AV production can be suspended from the roof.

During cooler months, it can be easily heated to provide a comfortable environment for the audience. The internal height of 16 meters ensures the Igloo also does not get too warm in the summer. The lower levels can be cooled, and heat rising into the large open space makes sure the structure remains at a comfortable temperature.

Compromising your vision based on venue availability is unnecessary.

Make an impression with our Igloo festival structure

Our incredible Igloo structure is something to behold. Reaching 14m high and 30m wide, it is capable of supporting huge loads, making it a perfect structure for ambitious AV productions.

Whatever your festival marquee requirements, we can offer the perfect solution combined with the first class service we’ve become known for. If you would like to consider a Fews festival marquee, get in touch and one of our project managers would be happy to talk you through the process.
