Devon and Somerset Marquees

30/08/2026

There’s just something about a good old country show… 🌿

This summer we’ve been busy putting up marquees at some of the West Country’s favourite events, from our own Mid Devon Show and the Devon County Show, to the Dunster Show, Honiton Show and Somerset County Show.

And with the sun putting in quite an appearance this year, our marquees have been doing a sterling job of keeping visitors, exhibitors and hospitality areas cool and in the shade! 😎

We’ve shared a little more about our summer of shows and the businesses we’ve been proud to support - in our latest blog

All the marquees are up and ready to go.

This year we are delighted to have been invited to present the trade stand competition winner with their trophy- and we already know it is hotly contested!

Join us in the main ring at 3pm as the presentations kick off with the livestock to find out who won.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Is it just us, or is this heatwave making everyone frantically hunt for the nearest bit of shade?

While we’re all loving the sunshine, we know exactly what the British weather is like... and waiting for that unexpected thinderstorm.

That’s where a marquee comes in. Think of it as the ultimate summer companion. It keeps your guests nice and cool under the blazing sun, and perfectly dry if the heavens suddenly decide to open.

☀️ Perfect for any garden: Our sizes start at a compact 3x3 metres.
⚡ Panic-free planning: Caught out last minute? No drama. We can often get one delivered and set up in less than 24 hours.

Whatever the forecast throws at us this weekend, don't cancel the party. Drop us a message and let's make sure your summer gathering goes off without a hitch.

We are absolutely delighted to be sponsoring the Trade Stand Competition at the Mid Devon Show this year.

As the nearest marquee provider, we already provide marquess to many of the trade stands, and we know how much hard work and planning goes into a great stand.

We'd love to add you to our list and help to create the perfect space to welcome your customers.

Country show season brings excitement, visitors and sometimes unpredictable weather - and over the years we've seen everything from blazing sunshine to torrential rain - often both before lunchtime!

We are now taking bookings for the 2026 show season!

One of our marquees helps ensure your stand stays welcoming and practical whatever the forecast and can include:

📍 Sizes to suit your pitch – from compact 3m × 3m units upwards
📍 Open-front or roll-up sides to create an inviting trading space
📍 Clear window panels to maximise natural light
📍 Flooring options to cope with muddy showgrounds
📍 Internal partitions for storage, kitchens or meeting areas
📍 Lighting and power access for displays and counters
📍 A wide range of tables, chairs and furnishings
📍 Heating or ventilation depending on the season
📍 Guttering between connected marquees to keep entrances dry

Happy Valentines Day!

This year we've been thinking about our dream Valentine's day looks like... A meaningful setting, soft fairy lights, a glass of fizz - and of course doughnuts.

What would make your perfect day?

Over the years, we’ve been honoured to provide marquees for a number of local funerals, offering shelter if the church is full or covering the grave for a committal. It’s a small thing, but means a lot to us.

Find out the ways we can help.
