City Centre Marquee Hire

Hiring Marquees for events that take place in city centre’s always take additional planning but the marquee for this graduation ceremony pushed the boundaries to the limit. Located on delicate paving stones in between a building dating back to 1140, some rather well positioned lamp posts and a historic library in the very heart of Bristol city centre this hire needed some delicate planning and handling.

The marquee was used to host the graduations post ceremony celebrations and was located adjacent to Bristol Cathedral which hosts the main ceremony. The marquee catered for around 2000 guests per day over the 12 day period.
The University of the West of England (UWE) is a modern, growing university in the thriving harbour side city of Bristol. UWE Bristol is one of Britain's most popular universities, with around 30,000 students and 3,000 staff and is the largest provider of Higher Education in the South West of England. Students come to UWE from all parts of the UK, as well as a significant and growing number of international students from over 140 countries worldwide.

Danco provided a marquee with cassette style suspended floor which provided a durable and solid finish that could cope with the amount of foot-fall through the marquee, it also had solid sides to increase security and give a real feeling of quality to this prestigious event.
We are very proud to be associated with this event held in the heart of Bristol and very much hope to provide the facilities again next year.
