Event Planning

When it comes to event planning we abide by The Five Ps - that is, Planning and Preparation Prevent Poor Performance.

With our wide experience and book of reliable industry contacts, we can offer you a full event planning service. Just give us your brief and we'll answer it with a proposal that's specifically tailored to you. From initial thoughts to the cleaning up afterwards we can organise every aspect of the event experience.

Your participation can be as active or as passive as you like. We're just as happy for you to be involved at every stage of the process as we are to take complete hold of the reins.

If you'd like to help design the layout of your marquee, we can use a computer aided system to show you how your marquee might look.

Site and Venue Sourcing

If you'd like to hold a marquee event but don't have a site in mind, we can advise you. In fact, we've built up quite a portfolio of beautiful settings, particularly in the English countryside. Perhaps you're looking for something a little bit special. If so, we can suggest some outstanding venues, including Leeds Castle who we are very proud to work with.

Toilet facilities

Toilet facilities are of vital importance at a marquee event. Whether you're looking for a luxurious trailer unit or a set of portaloos, toilet provision at Meadow Fields Marquees is of the highest standard possible, with function and cleanliness top priorities. Like we said, no detail too small...

Bar units

Our bar units come in all shapes, sizes and styles, with everything from traditional polished wooden to illuminated units on offer.

Entertainment

We've been involved in organising such a wide range of events in our time that it's no surprise we've built up quite a book of contacts. So from DJs and live bands, to magicians and children's entertainers, you can count on us either to book your entertainment for you or recommend somebody that fits your requirements.

Looking for a orchestra, band or DJ? We have a few suggestions on our links page.

Florists

Whether its flowers for a wedding reception or slightly more restrained table decorations for dinner, we're happy to recommend florists that can transform the marquee environment.

Tips & Advice

Five things to ask any marquee company you're thinking of working with:

1. What size marquee do I need?
   This all depends on the type of event you're organising. Generally we calculate between 10 and 16 square feet per person attending. But do note this is only an estimate; the size will also depend on what else will be going on in your marquee. For example you may have a dance floor, bar area or serving area planned. However, there's no need to worry about making the right decisions as we can advise you on what will best suit your particular needs.
2. When do you deliver and start setting up the marquee?
   In normal circumstances we like to have finished setting up and decorating at least one day clear of your event. So if your event is on the Saturday we will have finished everything by the end of the Thursday before.
3. Is insurance included in the price?
   It certainly is. Full insurance for theft and public liability will be included in your quoted price.
4. When do you collect?
   We will dismantle the marquee at a mutually convenient time, normally the day after the event. If, however, your event takes place on a Saturday, we will take the marquee down on the Monday.
5. Can we heat the marquee?
   With one of our efficient heating systems installed, it's possible to hold a function in the winter and feel like you're standing inside bricks and mortar.
