One of the secrets to Original Marquees' success lies in their extensive network of specialized suppliers. They have carefully cultivated relationships with only the best in the business, allowing them to deliver top-notch results that they wholeheartedly believe in and trust. However, it's their remarkable tents that truly steal the show.


Crafted with great care and attention to detail by Will's Marquees, each tent is lovingly hand-made in the heart of Yorkshire.

A spectacular canvas and wooden pole marquee that effortlessly evokes a sense of magic and enchantment. It's the perfect setting for any celebration, providing a truly unforgettable experience for you and your guests.


So whether you're planning an elegant wedding, a corporate event, or a classical garden party, trust Original Marquees to create a the most amazing space.
