FAQ'S

For the seating area, allow at least 15sq ft (1.4 sq m) per person and then space for other areas such as food serving, dance floor or bar. Our Calculator will work this out for you and give you an estimate.

If your guests will only be standing, they’ll need at least 8 sq ft (0.75 sq m). Again, think about what else you want in the marquee.
