Festival Marquees was started 8 years ago, and initially traded as Green Event Services. The founder, Matt Favier, has a background of working in the environmental, community and voluntary sector, but alongside this ran one of the North Wests best loved party sound systems, and spent a lot of time creating events from scratch in fields, forests and festivals.
From these underground beginnings, a love of building spaces for parties and events was born, along with a passion for interesting tents and interiors.

Services
Our most versatile range of tents, with the widest range of size options, these marquees can be used on any surface, and can be easily joined together to make bigger spaces or interesting shapes. Available with smart white covers, or colourful green and white stripes, they can also have their interiors draped or lined in a choice of at least 4 different fabrics and styles for special events.
We don't just do marquees for festivals! For weddings we can provide anything from a small tent, through to a beautiful marquee package for 300 guests with flooring, furniture, sumptuous interiors, lighting, power and toilets. We pride ourselves on being a little different, so we offer a unique range of marquees, including our Circus or Festival tent for themed or festival wedding style events.
We know a thing or two about how to throw a great party, as well as the practical challenges of creating a successful outdoor event. Able to provide anything from a mini marquee for a small garden party, through to a stylish space for a corporate event, or a tent to house a festival stage and audience, Festival Marquees love to help create a great party!
Music festival, beer festival, festival wedding, community festival, arts festival, we do them all! Festival Marquees can help with other sorts of events as well, and we often work with shops, street food markets, event organisers, businesses, clubs and venues. We can provide furniture, dance floors, lighting, heating, staging or PA, without the need to hire a marquee.
We are able to provide a wide selection of furniture, flooring, lighting, heating and other event equipment, with or without the need to hire a marquee too. From a functional requirement, like an order for 60 trestle tables, through to a need for stylish or quirky chill out seating, we can help.
Our stock is too large to list every item, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you need something we don't list - even if we don't stock it ourselves, we'll probably be able to source it for you.

Festival Marquess are the perfect combination of high quality top class product vs small family-style business friendless and most importantly fair pricing.
Thanks so much for providing the marquee for our wedding, for working within our budgets and for going out of your way to source everything we asked for

An absolutely fabulous company who are really easy to work with. Matt and his team worked rigorously to ensure everything was set up and working in good time for our party. We hired a big top type marquee and it really ‘made’ the event! Festival marquees also hired disco lights, a PA system and strings and strings of fairy lights. By the time they’d finished it was like stepping into a magical palace! I’d totally recommend these guys every time for their polite attitude, attention to detail and of course fabulous marquees!

Could not recommend Matt and his team enough. Great experience from start to finish and absolutely worth every penny! We are so pleased we found Festival Marquees as this was just what we were looking for our festival wedding. Just exactly what we wanted in every way! It was very easy to deal with Matt and he gave honest feedback and advice which was appreciated. Thank you for helping bring our dream wedding and little vision to life! We are so grateful for your service and help. Highly recommended .

Matt and the team did an amazing job at our wedding in the Cotswolds. The marquee itself was really good, but it was all the extra help that really makes this company stand out. Nothing was too much trouble. From meeting up a few months before the wedding to invaluable advice on power, layout, furniture - everything - we couldn't have had the amazing, problem-free wedding day that we had without them. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We would once again like to thank Matt for his excellent service he provided for us for our Festival style wedding in September.
We absolutely loved the big blue tent, it was exactly what we were looking for and has so much more character than the standard marquee. The included fairy lights made it look very magical along side our own lighting. He can also provide much more (sound, lighting, tables, power etc) if needed. His prices are extremely fair for what he offers.
From start to end Matt and his team have been very professional and showed a lot of care to detail. We appreciated him insisting

What a wedding!!! Right from our very first no-obligation meeting to waving goodbye after the best weekend of our lives, we were overwhelmed by Matt's energy, creativity and enthusiasm, not to mention patience! One of the most down-to-earth event organisers you will ever come across, his dedication to helping us develop and realise our festival-wedding dream was outstanding. Having had no previous experience of planning anything even remotely like it, we were a little anxious about the sheer scale of the event we were envisaging, not to mention the cost. Matt put us completely at ease, constantly

Matt and his team at festival marquees did an excellent job in the building and planning of our festival wedding. Matt understood how we wanted the site to look and how we wanted it to feel, the tents looked amazing and all our guests were so impressed with how everything felt like being at a real music festival. Matt also helped with the booking of lighting, sound and power to the site, this also made it so much easier for us than having to source it ourselves. Overall we were incredibly happy with the service we received and if we plan another large party would definitely use Matt`s services

We've been using Festival Marquees for our corporate annual events for over 5 years now. Always impressed with the service we receive and the attention to detail. We love that they can take care of so many of the aspects of our event for us (Planning, marquee, lighting, power distribution, tables/chairs, plus whatever else we throw at them!).
Following on from using them work our business events, I also had them take care of things for my wedding last year - Myself and the Mrs were so happy with the end result - It looked totally amazing!
Thanks Guys!

Used Festival Marquees to provide a tent at very short notice for the wife's birthday party. Despite the short notice and the date for requirement (New Years Eve) they were very helpful in coming round to view the location and discuss our options. Tent provided looked very professional and they came and fitted it quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use them again.
