Simon C Florey and Son are based on the Wiltshire and Oxfordshire border. We offer stunning marquees to both our corporate and private clients.

Father and son, Simon Florey and Peter Florey, original founders of the company, promise a personal service starting at the initial meeting to discuss and plan your event to overseeing every step of the work, making sure your event will go without a hitch.

We don’t send out a Sales Manager to meet with you, we come ourselves. We show you all the options you can have in your marquees and put it on a detailed computer drawing showing 3D layouts. We then send you an itemised quote so you can pick and choose your options to create your own unique marquee.

Simon has been in the marquee business for 35 years and Peter for 11 years so you have all the latest marquee concepts as you would expect from a younger generation but backed with the knowledge and experience that is priceless for your event.

Our staff are fully trained, polite and courteous. We do not use agency staff who are with us for a few days then onto the next job. All of our staff have a passion for achieving and creating stunning marquees.

For your peace of mind, we own all of the equipment we hire out so can guarantee that the equipment is of the highest quality and arrives in immaculate condition.

We always supply the best equipment available to the industry, including:

     · a huge range of colored pleated and flat linings, including star cloths 

    · a wide choice of banqueting tables & chairs to suit your occasion

    · thermostatically controlled indirect heating and ventilation

   · solid flooring, either sub framed or interlocking 

    · staging and dance floors, including oak parquet, black & white, all black and all white as well as ultra violet

   · generator power (if required) and power distribution

Our speciality is in marquee hire. We don’t try and water down our expertise in marquees by trying to offer other services, such as flowers, catering and entertainment. However, over the past 30 years we have built up an enviable list of excellent and reliable third party suppliers. Like us, they specialise in one specific area, which is far better and reliable, and we’re happy to put you directly in contact with these first rate suppliers - without making a commission!

Our marquees are framed marquees and come in modular bays of bays of 3mtrs (10ft). i.e. 3m x 3m, 3m x 6m, 3m x 9m and so on . . . . .(in this example the width is 3m). Our larger 20m and 25m wide marquees come in module bays of 5 mtrs. None of our marquees are these quick and cheap pop up marquees. They are all the very best you can buy in the world. They do not leak and can stand up to gale force winds!

You can then go 3m wider to 6m wide marquees 6m x 3m, 6m x 6m, 6m x 9m and so on. The width of our marquees goes all the way up to 25m wide. All of these marquees can be as long as you like. You can join any of these marquees together side by side but for larger number of guests we would strongly reccomend using wider structures to keep the event together under one roof unless you wanted a different reception marquee or dance floor marquee.

The advantage we have with offering you all of these structure sizes is we can offer you the exact marquee for your event so you don’t have 'long and narrow corridor, styled marquees or lots of marquees joined together separating your event. When you have to join marquees you will be showing pillars and relying on gutters between each one creating different rooms. Our large wider marquee range are great to keep all your guests under one structure for speech days or partys where all your guests can not feel left out or not seing whats going on in the main area of any event.

Here is a rough guide showing widths of marquees to numbered guests, if the site allows for it. (3mtrs is roughly 10ft)

Width                 Numbers of guests

3mtr                normally used for walkways

6mtr                     20 - 60

9mtr                     60 - 150

12mtr                  150 - 300

15mtr                  300 - 600

20mtr                  600 - 900

This is only ment for a handy guide as it really depends on the layout options inside the marquee, the lay of the land and your ideas on how you want your marquee to look and feel.

We pride ourselves on setting the very highest standard of workmanship. We are small enough to care and big enough to cope.
