Why buying can be more beneficial than hiring.

Marquees are the perfect solution if you are looking to host an event and you need a cost effective way to keep your guests sheltered from the weather. Gala Tent marquees are available in several sizes and materials to suit all tastes and budgets, why not have a look through our range of marquees to find the perfect one for you.

Why hire when you can buy for less? Lots of people now choose to purchase a marquee rather than hire, this is because of the competitive prices we can offer. Often people hire a marquee, they have to pay for it to be set up, taken down and transported to and from the site, it can cost a lot! However when you buy a Gala Tent marquee you get a next day delivery and the marquee is yours to keep forever.

When hiring a marquee people often overlook the costs involved, this can mean that they grossly underestimate the cost of hiring a structure. You should consider the cost of the company bringing the marquee to you, setting it up for you, taking it down, insurance, fuel, admin fees, it can quickly start adding up.

There will always be business for marquee hire companies and this is a growing market for garden parties and the larger events such as weddings, but if your event requires anything from 3m x 3m to 6m x 24m to our large modular 9m x 9m to 9m x 30m then buying maybe the best option. The advantage here is that you now have a marquee available on hand for any future events such as birthdays, anniversaries, new year celebrations - the possibilities are endless.

But wait, there’s more!

So, you buy a marquee that you only want to use once or twice, every now and then. Why not make it recoup your investment by you, yourself hiring it out to your local area to begin with? A Gala Tent marquee, when hired out, can return your investment in only a couple of jobs. Then what? Add stock to your portfolio and go to the wider area. After that? Nationwide!
