Lichfield Marquee Hire – FAQs
Planning an event in Lichfield? Whether you’re hosting a garden party, wedding reception, corporate gathering or community celebration, our Lichfield marquee hire service is here to help. Below are answers to frequently asked questions to guide you through the process.
What types of events do you offer marquee hire for in Lichfield?
We provide marquee hire in Lichfield for a wide variety of occasions including weddings, birthdays, christenings, garden parties, hen dos, stag nights, baby showers, and more. From formal functions to casual celebrations, we’ve got a marquee to suit.
How do I reserve a marquee for my Lichfield event?
To secure your booking, we require a 25% non-refundable deposit. This guarantees your chosen marquee and any extras for the date of your Lichfield event.
Can I personalise the marquee interior?
Absolutely – you’re welcome to decorate the interior to match your theme. For safety and to avoid damage, please don’t tape or pin anything directly to the marquee structure. Our Lichfield marquee hire team will be happy to advise you on safe decorating methods.
What if I need to change something in my booking?
We understand that plans change! If you need to adjust your marquee hire in Lichfield, just get in touch as soon as possible. We’ll always do our best to accommodate changes depending on what’s available.
What’s the best time to book?
It’s best to book your Lichfield marquee hire early—especially during busy periods such as summer weekends and the run-up to Christmas. The sooner you book, the more choice you’ll have when it comes to sizes and extras.
Do you handle setup and takedown in Lichfield?
Yes – our Lichfield team will deliver, install, and collect your marquee. Most collections happen the next day, but if you have a specific time in mind for collection or delivery, we’ll do our best to accommodate it with prior notice.
Can the marquee go on grass or hard ground?
Yes. Our marquees can be set up on a variety of surfaces across Lichfield, including lawns, driveways, patios and car parks. Just let us know the type of surface so we can bring the appropriate fixings.
What happens if the weather’s bad?
We monitor weather conditions carefully before every Lichfield marquee hire. If high winds or dangerous weather are expected, we may need to delay or cancel setup for safety reasons. We’ll keep in close contact and help make alternative arrangements where necessary.
Is lighting and heating available?
Yes – we offer both lighting and heating options with our Lichfield marquee hire packages. Electric infrared heaters are ideal for cooler months, and lighting helps create a great evening atmosphere. Let us know what you need when booking.
Can I plug in my own appliances?
We recommend checking with our team before using your own electrical equipment during your marquee hire in Lichfield. This ensures the setup stays safe and power sources aren’t overloaded.
Is the marquee and equipment insured?
Yes, we have Public Liability Insurance up to £5 million covering all of our Lichfield marquee hire equipment. Please note this does not cover damage caused by misuse, theft, or neglect. We advise keeping equipment secure at all times.
What payment methods do you take?
We accept payments via bank transfer or cash. Full payment must be made before your Lichfield marquee is delivered and set up.
What if something gets damaged or lost?
If any item is damaged or goes missing while in your care, you may be responsible for repair or replacement costs. To avoid this, we recommend securing the site overnight, especially if it’s public or unattended.
Do you provide flooring in your Lichfield marquees?
We don’t currently offer flooring as part of our Lichfield marquee hire packages. If an even floor is important to your setup, we suggest levelling the ground beforehand or hiring flooring separately.
How long can I keep the marquee for?
We offer flexible hire periods for all Lichfield marquee bookings. Whether you need the marquee for a single afternoon or an entire weekend, we’ll work with your schedule. Just let us know your preferred times.
Can I extend the hire if the event runs longer than expected?
Of course – if you need additional time, just contact us as soon as possible. Extensions to Lichfield marquee hire are subject to availability and may include a small extra charge.
What’s your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your booking, please notify us in writing. Cancellations made within seven days of booking are fully refunded unless the event is scheduled within that window. After that, deposits are non-refundable and cancellations within seven days of delivery will be charged in full.
Do I need to clean the equipment before collection?
We appreciate equipment being returned in good condition. If chairs, tables or marquees are heavily soiled (e.g. from tape residue or mud), we may apply a cleaning charge. Keep things tidy to avoid this.
Is on-site security included?
We don’t provide security services, but for overnight setups or public spaces in Lichfield, we strongly recommend arranging your own to help protect the marquee and equipment.
