Benefits of a Clear Marquee

A Portable Conservatory

There's not much in the world that's better than sitting in a bright conservatory on a scorching day, sipping on a cool glass of your favourite summer drink. No matter where you are, the light manages to reach you, fulfilling your vitamin-d needs and never failing to bring out a smile. Clear marquees provide the same experience - but better. With a range of sizes that can comfortably house all of your family and friends, and the ability to be placed anywhere, getting you the perfect view of any English setting, there's nothing more that anyone could ask for. Why not spend your summer sat by a lake, catching up with old friends, watching the swans go by without a care in the world?

Gaze at the Stars

When the sun goes down but you still want to party, clear marquees are perfect at keeping the mood. There's something comforting and often nostalgic about spending the evening outside, staring up a the stars with your friends and relatives - and for a wedding, what could be more romantic? With a range of lighting and heating options to keep every marquee suited to your needs, no matter the time or temperature, it's the perfect indoor/outdoor environment. So grab a drink, and look up at the stars from the warmth and safety of a clear marquee.

Experience Outdoors Without the Weather

In this country, weather is often an unfortunate issue with outdoor events. There's very few days in a year where rain and wind are absent, so it's hard to have a good time without cover. Clear marquees have the unique advantage of being able to shield you from the surprises of British weather, while keeping you close and connected to the outdoor world. You don't have to hide away from the elements entirely, instead you can embrace them while being protected by a fully waterproof cover.

Make it Your Own

A standard marquee tends to already be self-stylized with its trademark white walls, white ceiling, white everything. Clear marquees have none of that - it's a blank canvas for you to unleash your inner-designer upon (or to hire someone else to unleash their inner designer). So get the florist on the phone and start coming up with a colour scheme to tie the whole place together.
