Marquees for Live Music Events

As music lovers look for fresh ways to bring live events to their communities, gardens, or private estates, marquee-based music events are having a moment. With fewer traditional venues available and an appetite for immersive, bespoke experiences growing, marquees offer a blank canvas to bring your dream event to life... no muddy fields or mile-long queues required.

At Abinger Marquees, we've taken our background in the events and festival scene and poured it into crafting unforgettable music events under canvas. Whether you're organising a charity gig, a corporate summer party, or an epic private celebration, here's how to turn your marquee into a stage-worthy experience.

Why Host a Music Event in a Marquee?

Think of a marquee as your own private venue, without the four walls or the limitations. You control the atmosphere, the setting, and the schedule. Want a garden stage with a starlit ceiling?Done. Prefer a boho vibe with rustic flooring and warm lighting? Easy.

With our modular designs, you can build out multiple zones: a stage and dance floor, a chillout area, a bar, and even VIP corners. It's a unique opportunity to create the kind of energy you find at boutique festivals, but with your own guest list.

Set the Scene with Stunning Interiors

The atmosphere starts with what's inside. We offer everything you need to bring your theme to life:

Themed interiors: Choose from our popular Arabian Nights setup with vibrant colours and low seating, or go full billowing white wedding with draped linings and chandeliers, both make for incredible backdrops to live music.

Lighting: From fairy lights and festoon bulbs to dramatic stage spots and twinkling night sky canopies, we can tailor lighting to match the mood.

Flooring: Whether you go for carpeted boarded floors for a clean, polished finish or hessian matting for a festival vibe, we've got it covered.

Heating: Evening chill? No problem. Our heating systems keep things toasty into the night.

Build the Stage, Bring the Sound

No music event is complete without a proper setup. We can provide:

A dedicated stage area for live bands, DJs, or acoustic performers.

Power solutions to support lighting rigs, speakers, and instruments.

Space to house mixing desks, tech crews, or even a side tent for backstage use.

Add your own AV supplier, or ask us to recommend trusted contacts from the event world. With our background in festivals, we know what it takes to make performances sing... literally.

Don't Forget the Details

Great music events are as much about comfort as they are about sound. That's where we shine. We can source and organise:

Portable toilets (including luxury loos)

Chillout furniture for seated guests

Catering tents, bar areas, and greenrooms

Generators and power solutions

Accessibility options, in line with modern event standards

We'll help you plan every practical detail, so your guests (and performers) have everything they need.
