A Fantastic Review From Our Friends At BASC!!

Hi Lee

We have been using Mini Marquees for around 15 years. In this time we have purchased a variety of pop-up style marquees from them in different sizes to cater for our business needs. Mini Marquees are built to a very high standard and stand up to the test of time and the ever changing outdoor elements! We have tried cheaper alternatives but they are not as strong and do not last. We require marquees that are built to withstand heavy use and still look professional at every event or show we attend. Even some of our oldest ones are still being used today. The ordering process is straight forward and nothing is too much trouble. Our marquess are all branded to a high quality with our chosen colours and design. The frames and materials used are of superior quality and are put together in house by skilled technicians. Mini marquees after sales support is also great and if we ever need anything, help is always available. I would happily recommend Mini Marquees to anyone.

“We recently purchased the 3.0 x 3.0 Maxi Range Mini Marquee from Mini Marquees, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our investment. The marquee’s durability was put to the test right away when it faced wind speeds exceeding 30mph during its first show. While other traders struggled as their marquees flew away, ours stood strong, thanks to the superior build quality. Mini Marquees also impressed us with their quick turnaround time – we ordered the marquee on a Friday, and it was ready for dispatch the following Friday, allowing us to meet our event deadlines effortlessly. Lastly, we must commend Lee and the entire team at Mini Marquees for their exceptional customer service throughout the buying process. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Mini Marquees to anyone in need of reliable outdoor event solutions.”

Kind Words From Jed Trolley ** Director Of PureWipeMicroFibres Ltd.

For over 25 years, Mini Marquees has worked alongside DEWALT to supply branded gazebo solutions built for live product demos, trade events and high-impact brand activations. What began as a single project grew into a long-term partnership built on reliability, quality and a shared belief that a commercial grade gazebo should do more than just provide shelter — it should represent the brand with strength and confidence.

Founded in 1988, Mini Marquees quickly became known for manufacturing commercial grade gazebos designed for professional use. DEWALT recognised the advantage of using a branded gazebo setup to increase visibility at trade shows and on-site tool demonstrations, leading to a partnership focused on consistent delivery and bold presentation.

Looking ahead to 2025, both teams asked how they could take branded display setups even further. The answer was the launch of the Maxi Range — a new evolution in commercial grade gazebo design featuring 60cm valances for maximum print visibility, reinforced frames for daily event use and a footprint designed to sit perfectly alongside the new DEWALT van fleet.

This new branded gazebo setup is more than an accessory. It is a mobile brand experience engineered to dominate event spaces and highlight the DEWALT identity in every environment.

We could have taken the easy route and bought a cheap, plain gazebo to use as the centerpiece for our Ford Capri Club car displays. We pride ourselves upon our displays at classic car shows – the way we present our Ford Capri’s, the standard of our team wear clothing and most importantly the centerpiece of our display – the Capri Club International Mansfield Notts branch marquee. 

A cheap, plain green gazebo was never going anywhere near our club display. We needed a sturdy aluminium framed mini marquee suitable to withstand the often windy and often wet classic car show weather but also to provide shelter from the sun on those glorious summer Sundays. A local mini marquee supplier was vital because our centerpiece marquee was going to be a complex, colourful design with visits to the workshop to view materials and graphics prior to final production.

Thanks to Keaton, Lee and the highly skilled and motivated team at Mini Marquees, our awesome marquee was completed on time – ready for the first classic car show of 2022 at nearby Thoresby Hall. Our marquee incorporates images of our club member’s Ford Capri’s around the canopy, Club logos on the roof and back panel, sponsor logos on the side walls, and a patriotic Union flag design throughout. The marquee creates that ‘WOW’ factor at every show and never fails to attract envious and extremely positive comments from other car club members and visitors to our stand.

Smoke & Ice, a restaurant in Edwinstowe, purchased three branded pop-up gazebos from Mini Marquees in 2021. These gazebos were intended for use in their outside seating area as well as for outdoor events that they attend throughout the year. The build quality of the products was exceptional, with robust materials that promised longevity and durability. The branding on the covers also looked fantastic, adding a touch of professionalism and style to the restaurant’s outdoor space.

Throughout the entire process, Mini Marquees provided excellent service and prompt responses to all inquiries. Lee and his team were involved in the design, manufacture, and installation of the gazebos, and their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout. Even after the sale was completed, Mini Marquees continued to offer exceptional service, addressing any issues that arose in a timely and professional manner.

Overall, Smoke & Ice highly recommends Mini Marquees as a supplier for future customers. Their products are of exceptional quality, and their commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled.
