  • Mini Marquees X Southwell Bowls Club

    Mini Marquees X Southwell Bowls Club

    Fantastic Review from our friend at Southwell Bowls Club! – Thank you for your kind words Peter.

    We used our gazebos from Mini-Marquees for the first time for our open bowls tournament on July 6th. Lee, from the company, very kindly came out to help us put them up.

    Despite having shown us the ropes several weeks before. His extra tips were invaluable. During the day we had several heavy downpours and the gazebos proved to be completely watertight.

    The gutter connection between the two ensured we remained snug and dry beneath, unlike our previous inferior ones where water would pour down the gap. They are clearly more robust than any previous ones we have tried and we have every confidence that they will survive strong winds, should they occur on future occasions.

  • Mini Marquees X Guinness X Henson Franklyn

    Mini Marquees X Guinness X Henson Franklyn

    Mini Marquees recently had the privilege of creating a 6.0 x 3.0 Maxi Range Mini Marquee for Guinness, a project passed on to us by Henson Franklyn, the esteemed event company. Utilizing our state-of-the-art dye sublimation printing, we developed a sleek and striking design that perfectly fulfilled Guinness’s branding and advertising requirements.

    Our Maxi Range, launched in 2010, is renowned for its strength and durability. With a robust frame specification of 63mm x 56mm x 2mm for the outer leg sections, it stands as the sturdiest Mini Marquee on the global market. This ensured that the Guinness marquee, designed for maximum impact, was not only visually impressive but also built to endure any event conditions.

  • Mini Marquees X Alpha Industries 

    Mini Marquees X Alpha Industries 

    After Over a Decade of using our Products Andrew Holdsworth, Managing Director of Alpha Industries has gave us a glowing review!! Check it out below!

    Having had our “Mini Marquee” for many years and used it over 280 times I thought it would be very worthwhile to share our observations.

    Our Alpha Industries branded marquee is from their Maxi range and came with custom printed logos on 2 side walls, the front and rear edging branded full width and graphics on the roof.
    Most importantly it has a unique horizontal clothing rail system, built by Mini Marquees for hanging clothes face forward on each of the 3 walls, two rows on each. This affords us the opportunity to display around 200 weighty flight jackets on just the walls alone maximising revenue potential.

    Its quality is superb. For over a decade in all sorts of weather conditions holding a lot of weight it has never bent, buckled or strained itself out of shape and it still packs down into the same bag it came with a decade ago, amazing when you think it has been erected and dismantled now almost 600 times 

    Not only I would highly recommended this marquee to anyone but so do many other traders at our events. It is always commented on as great looking and one of the best they have seen. The service level from Lee, the owner and other colleagues has always been outstanding. This friendly family business knows what they are doing and are a pleasure to deal with. Thankyou to everyone one at MM and be assured we will back when we need another.

    “Thank you to Lee and Keaton for excellent customer service and a fantastic product! The new marquees were designed with ease and delivered on time; they are robust, well made, and will last for many years to come. They were the perfect home away from home during Henley Royal Regatta!”

We’re proud to have delivered another solution that combines form, function, and durability.

    Lovely Words From Giles Hall, Senior Engagement Manager, Stakeholder Engagement |Farming & Countryside Programme | Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

    “The standard of the gazebo we ordered from MM was beyond our expectations, the artwork was exactly what we were looking for, the frame robust and light and the aftercare exceptional. I was especially impressed by the side panels and how they not only affixed to the top of the gazebo but joined the corresponding sides securely and seamlessly thanks to the Velcro tape and flaps which provided extra protection and hid the joins. We couldn’t be happier with the kit and would gladly recommend to other organisations considering using the team.”
