Our canvas marquees are available in 12M (40′) widths and can be extended to any length, providing a spacious, airy environment that’s both graceful and practical.

Why Choose a Traditional Canvas Marquee?

A traditional canvas marquee gives you the best of both worlds—classic, rustic charm combined with all the practical benefits of a modern event space. Unlike PVC alternatives, our natural cotton canvas is breathable, keeping things cool in summer and warm in winter. Plus, it meets British and European fire safety regulations, so you can enjoy your event with peace of mind.

These marquees are held up by solid wooden king poles, side poles, and guy ropes, creating that iconic swooping silhouette while ensuring strength and stability in all weather conditions. Whether you’re planning a romantic countryside wedding, a stylish garden party, or a professional corporate event marquee, a canvas marquee hire offers a timeless, elegant setting that can be tailored to your vision.

 

The Benefits of a Traditional Canvas Marquee

A traditional canvas marquee offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance, comfort, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for weddings, parties, and corporate events. Made from breathable cotton canvas, it creates a soft, natural ambiance that feels welcoming while keeping guests cool in summer and warm in winter.

With a 12M (40′) width and extendable length, our canvas marquee hire provides plenty of space for dining, dancing, and entertainment, making it a versatile option for wedding marquees, party marquees, and corporate event marquees. The open-plan design allows for custom layouts, while the wooden poles and traditional structure add a touch of vintage charm.

Designed to be weather-resistant and fire-retardant, our marquees are also a sustainable alternative to PVC structures. Whether you need a wedding marquee, party marquee hire, or a corporate event marquee, a canvas marquee hire ensures a stylish and practical space for any occasion.

Bringing the Outdoors In

One of the best things about a traditional canvas marquee is how well it blends with its surroundings. The sides can be rolled up in warm weather, letting guests enjoy the fresh air and countryside views. In colder months, the lined interiors and heating options keep things cosy and inviting.
