A warm welcome from Scott & Michael Acklam-Hall, the proud owners of Abracadabra Marquees & Events. Based in the picturesque market town of Northallerton — right in the heart of North Yorkshire — we are a well-established marquee and event hire company with years of experience delivering magical event settings across Yorkshire and the North-East.
At Abracadabra, we’re passionate about helping people create memorable events, no matter the size or style. From weddings and private parties to corporate functions and outdoor festivals, we provide high-quality marquees and carefully selected event furniture to suit every occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover for corporate marquee hire?
While Abracadabra Marquees & Events is proudly based in Northallerton, we provide marquee hire services across Yorkshire and the North-East of England. Our core service areas include nearby towns such as Thirsk, Richmond, Bedale, Harrogate, Darlington, and surrounding villages. Whether your event is in a countryside field, private estate, or your own back garden, we can deliver and install your marquee safely and efficiently. If you’re unsure whether your location is within range, just give us a call — we’re happy to provide a quick confirmation and quote for transport costs. Our team is highly experienced in setting up marquees in a wide variety of environments, including uneven terrain, sloped gardens, or hardstanding areas. Wherever your event is, our mission is to create a stunning and functional marquee space that fits seamlessly into your chosen setting. We bring the same care and service wherever we go.
How far in advance should I book my corporate marquee?
We recommend booking your marquee as early as possible, especially if your event is during peak season (May to September) when demand is high. For weddings and large private events, securing your marquee 6 to 12 months in advance gives you the best chance of getting your preferred date and package. That said, we’re always happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when availability allows — so it’s worth reaching out even if your date is coming up soon. Our team can move quickly and efficiently, offering site visits and quotes on short notice where needed. Early booking also allows us to help you plan layout options, furniture selections, and any extras like catering spaces or power supply. Plus, it gives you time to customise elements such as lighting schemes or carpet colours. Planning ahead ensures peace of mind and lets us tailor everything to your vision without time pressure.
What size marquee do I need for my event?
The size of marquee you’ll need depends on several factors — including your number of guests, seating arrangements, and what kind of event you’re hosting. For example, a wedding with seated dining, a dance floor, and entertainment will require more space than a standing drinks reception or garden party. At Abracadabra, we offer a wide range of marquee sizes, from compact 3m-wide options to grand structures over 200m in length. A good rule of thumb is to allow around 1.5–2 square metres per seated guest, but we’re happy to help calculate exact dimensions based on your needs. During our planning process, we’ll ask about your guest numbers, preferred layout, and whether you’ll need space for extras like a stage, bar, or catering tent. Once we understand your vision, we’ll recommend the best size and layout to ensure a comfortable, stylish, and functional marquee for your event.
Can marquees be used in bad weather?
Yes — our marquees are designed to withstand a wide range of British weather conditions. Whether it’s rain, wind, or chilly temperatures, we can ensure your guests stay warm, dry, and comfortable inside. Our framed marquees are especially popular for winter or all-season events, as they provide a more rigid structure with strong anchoring and optional solid or clear wall panels. We also offer high-quality flooring, carpeting, and interlocking boarding to keep the interior dry and level, even if the ground is wet outside. For colder months or unpredictable weather, we recommend adding our diesel heaters or pyramid heaters to maintain a cosy atmosphere. We also offer entrance porches and covered walkways to create a seamless transition between your marquee and other event spaces. If you’re unsure about your event location or the time of year, we’re happy to advise on the best marquee style and weather-proofing options for peace of mind.
What’s included in a typical marquee hire package?
Our marquee hire packages are designed to be all-inclusive and stress-free. A standard hire typically includes the marquee structure itself, a brand new carpet in your choice of colour, interlocking boarded flooring, and your preferred lighting (festoon, chandeliers, or wagon wheels). We also include tables, Chiavari chairs with ivory seat pads, and a dance floor in either black and white or parquet finish. Set-up, dismantling, and a damage waiver are all part of the package, so there are no hidden surprises. The only variable cost is transport, which is calculated based on your venue location. We also offer a wide range of optional extras — including catering tents, heaters, luxury toilets, generators, and more — so you can customise your package based on your event’s unique needs. If none of our pre-designed packages quite fit your vision, we’re happy to create a bespoke setup just for you.
