Can anybody recommend a local company for marquee hire. I know there are a fair few around but I've had a couple of problems in the past with a company and I cannot remember the name so personal recommendations please

If you can afford to do it you could buy a great one from makro. There's some really good ones in and they have a design which means you can add several side by side. £150 +.
Best of luck.

a friend of mine has used Ascot http://www.ascotmarquees.co.uk/
before.
Found them very professional.

How big a marquee are you looking for?
I have a marquee which can either be 40 ft x 40ft or 40 ft x 60.
Its not brand spanking new or anything but it looks alright and is waterproof and fire proof. Its a traditional style marquee with either 1 peak or 2.
I would be willing to hire it out as 40 x 40 for £150 which if you look into it you will find is very reasonable. I can also arrange for other things you might need like decor for the inside, lighting, sound system, Djs, generators etc. contact me at Y_Bananasandwiches@yahoo.com:clap:

hi try mudfords think they are on valley road at meersbrook

Try Blakeley Marquees at Loxley Black Lane , Loxley (tel.2339044). We use them every year for our Gala and they're very good and quite reasonable. They do marquees/tents from fairly small to absolutely massive and fit them out with all the emergency lighting, exit signs etc...

I second Blakeley Marquees, the owner, Bill, is really helpful aswell and will give you any advice needed, he will even source any other stuff you need from portaloos to cutlery hire.
