To make the most of the spacious 6m x 12m marquee, here are some unique ideas for optimising the space:
Interactive Zones: Divide the marquee into zones for different activities. For instance, a corporate event could have a presentation stage at one end, a networking space in the middle, and a product demo area at the other end.
Centrepiece Arrangements: Use the centre of the marquee for impressive focal points such as a grand buffet, a large floral display, or even a central stage, with seating arranged around it. This helps maximise guest interaction and sightlines.
Open Plan with Semi-Partitions: Use partial walls or fabric drapes to subtly divide the marquee into different sections without losing the feeling of open space. This works well for events that need both casual and formal spaces.
