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.
The marquee is 24m by 9m. of which 21m x 9m is the dining area, and 9m x 3m is the kitchen area. The basic spec is lining, 3 chandeliers for lighting, Karndean flooring, power (maximum 32 amp) and an oil fired space heater (with 4hrs worth of fuel). Tables and chairs are also included but NOT the linen and crockery etc.
You will have use of the marquee for the duration of your booking.

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.
