What AV equipment and technical facilities are available in the Marquee?

The Marquee includes PA system with 1 microphone as standard. Additional AV requirements can be accommodated but would need to be specified during booking as the space is designed primarily for outdoor events and networking.

How far in advance must the Pop-up Marquee be booked?

Key dates are already being snapped up for the 2026 season, with popular dates going fast. The venue recommends booking as early as possible, ideally during the previous year, as the Marquee is only available for approximately 4 weeks annually.

What is the booking process and deposit requirements for Marquee events?

The venue does not provisionally hold dates without confirmation. To secure a booking, clients must confirm the proposal is suitable, at which point the venue will place the date on hold and provide full booking terms and payment schedules.

Are there restrictions on event types or activities in the Pop-up space?

The Marquee is specifically designed for product promotions, brand activations, pop-up events, launch events, experiential marketing, and corporate showcases. It offers exclusive hire of the space and 3-acre garden setting, making it ideal for interactive displays and networking events.

What setup and breakdown times are allowed for Pop-up events?

Specific setup and breakdown times are not detailed in standard packages, but the venue mentions that early setup would be a necessity for larger events. Clients should discuss technical setup requirements and access times during the booking process.

Can external suppliers and vendors be used for Pop-up events?

While the venue provides comprehensive in-house catering and basic AV, the space is designed for experiential marketing and brand activations which typically require external suppliers. Vendor approval processes and restrictions would need to be confirmed during booking discussions.
