We are Penrose Marquees. One of the oldest wedding and event marquee companies in the UK.

Need extra space for entertaining? Looking for your very own unique venue? Our marquee company was established in 1840 (not by us although sometimes it feels like we have been doing it for that long!) and showcases natural canvas traditional marquees (think circus tents). We can offer rectangle tents, round tents, oval tents, big tents and small tents; with ivory lining or just as they come in canvas; with solid walls or window walls, or any combination. We also have a range of Frame Marquees with PVC roofs and walls including Bell Shaped Ends and Clear Roofs.

We offer a range of carpet colours or hessian matting. And of course we can supply all the furniture, crockery, cutlery, glassware, table linen and bar services that you require.

Western Event Hire is a unique position to provide a hassle free service backed by countless years of experience and knowledge. We don't provide an exhaustive price list for all of the possible choices you might make but prefer to discuss your requirements and provide a quote. Our quotes are free, so all you need to do is pick up the phone, or get in touch with via the site to get the ball rolling.

That said, here are just a couple of example prices that you might find helpful:

What’s Included with Marquee Hire?

Generally, the quotes we provide for marquee hire include delivery and construction before your wedding or event on a pre-arranged day and time and the subsequent dismantling and collection once your event has finished.

Why Should I Choose You?

We’d say infrastructure, experience and product quality.

On infrastructure, we’re extremely well setup: We make, construct and deliver the marquees ourselves so stock levels are rarely an issue and with our own vehicle fleet logistics are a cinch. Our infrastructure is what enables us to deliver your order as expected and at the agreed time.

On experience, as we’re in control of the entire supply chain, our product knowledge is second to none and we’ve also been doing this for a long time!

On product quality, we think that our marquees are simply beautiful with an old world charm - they are made to incredibly high standards from heavy canvas. They keep the weather out and your guests warm and dry.

We’re here to help

Whatever the size of your event, we can deliver the right solution for the right price. We love events and we’ll love helping you with yours!
