The Garden Marquee is available from mid-June to mid-July only. Hire times are Monday to Friday from 6pm onwards, and weekends between 11am-9pm. The 2026 Marquee Season runs specifically from 16 June to 9 July 2026.
What is the capacity and pricing for the Pop-up Marquee space?
The Marquee can accommodate up to 600 guests for standing receptions. For a summer party package including marquee hire, garden access, prosecco reception, 4-item garden menu, and 4-hour unlimited drinks package, pricing is £152.40 + VAT per person based on 400 guests.
What catering and bar options are included in Marquee packages?
Marquee packages include a 45-minute prosecco reception, 4-item garden menu, and 4-hour unlimited drinks package featuring house beer, house wine, and soft drinks. All catering is provided in-house and packages are designed for outdoor summer events.
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.
What indoor facilities and weather contingency options exist?
The Marquee features bifold doors for an indoor/outdoor feel and includes cloakroom and toilet facilities inside the marquee structure. There is also a decking area, providing some weather protection while maintaining the outdoor garden atmosphere.
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.
