There's something magical about hosting a party outdoors. The fresh air, the open skies, the space to mingle, dance, and celebrate—it all adds up to an unforgettable experience. But when the British weather decides to get involved, your dream outdoor party can quickly turn into a game of chance.

 

That's where Zest Marquees come in. Whether you're planning a birthday bash, anniversary, engagement party, garden gathering or just a good old-fashioned knees-up, hiring a marquee is the perfect way to keep the vibe going—rain or shine.

 

🌦 Weatherproof the Fun

Let's be honest—British weather is unpredictable at the best of times. But with a marquee, you don't have to worry. Our structures provide reliable protection from both unexpected rain showers and scorching summer sun, ensuring that your guests stay comfortable regardless of the weather conditions outside.

 

🪩 Create Your Venue… Anywhere!

Your garden. A field. A venue without enough indoor space. A marquee turns any outdoor area into a fully functional party venue.

With a Zest marquee, you can include:

  • A dance floor for throwing shapes
  • A cosy seating and dining area
  • A bar setup for drinks on tap
  • Custom lighting for that wow factor after dark
  • Themed decor to match your event vibe

We help you make your event as elegant, rustic, funky, or festival-like as you want.

 

🧩 Flexible to Fit Any Guest List

Whether it's an intimate garden soirée for 20 or a big bash for 200+, we've got marquees of all shapes and sizes. We'll work with you to design the perfect layout for your event, with optional extras like:

  • Tables & chairs
  • Flooring
  • Linings & lighting
  • Heating or cooling
  • Furniture & Accessories

No two parties are the same—why should your setup be?
