Marquees & tents hire in Cirencester: quick answers
Do marquees & tents suppliers deliver to Cirencester?
Yes. Cirencester (GL7) sits inside the Oxfordshire–Cotswolds–M4 corridor where most event hire depots quote a 20 to 30 mile radius, so it is covered from several directions. Delivery is normally included within that radius; confirm the exact drop position and access when you book.
When should I book marquees & tents for an event in Cirencester?
For May to September weekends around Cirencester, book 2 to 4 months ahead; premium items and peak Saturdays go earlier. Off-season and midweek dates are far more flexible, often at better prices.
What will a Cirencester supplier ask me before quoting?
Four things, every time: the date, the guest count, the exact site (a GL7 postcode plus what the ground is like), and access: how close a vehicle gets to where the kit goes. Have those ready and quotes come back faster and more accurate.
What size marquee do I need for 100 guests?
For a seated dinner with a dance floor, allow around 1.4 sqm per guest: a 100-guest wedding typically needs a marquee in the 30m-class range, for example 12m × 24m. Standing receptions need roughly half the space. Use our marquee size calculator for your exact numbers.
How much does it cost to hire a marquee for a wedding?
A realistic UK range for a 100 to 120 guest wedding marquee is £2,500 to £4,500 including lining and part flooring, before furniture and lighting. Small unlined frame marquees start under £1,000; large traditional pole marquees with full interiors can pass £8,000.
