Marquee at Hargate Hall

If you are having your weddings or event at Hargate Hall, our wedding marquee might be perfect for you. One key point, however, is that marquee is mainly to be used for dining only. Your evening party, music, and any disco etc would be conducted in the main hall. The marquee can comfortably seat up to 140 people.

Other information

Size – the overall size of the wedding marquee is 24m long x 9m wide. the sides and ends are all made up of 3m bays

There is no easy vehicular access to the marquee. There is a wide footpath, but this is not suitable for most vehicles (they get stuck which can be highly embarrassing when all the guests are looking on). Caterers and deliveries may need a suitable trolley for transporting goods. At present access is only available through the front of the marquee.

As the marquee is an outdoor structure, caterers should allow time to wipe down surfaces in the kitchen area before and after use.

The power supply to the marquee is a maximum of 32 amps, there is a maximum rating for any single circuit of 16 amps. We recommend that all cooking equipment is gas powered.

Noise

We are in a quiet rural location, and although it may not be obvious, we have neighbours close by. Please be respectful of them but keeping the noise down when outside.

For this reason the marquee is a dining room only. No load or amplified music is allowed, nor is amplification for things like speeches. If in doubt please ask us.

Storms

The marquee is very strong and will withstand strong winds and rain. Doors and side panels must be kept closed at all times. However you should use common sense if wind picks up and especially if there is flying debris. In the event of local lightening storms you must evacuate to the main hall and await the passing of the storm. The marquee has a metal frame and metal framework for the floor.
