Video! Reflections from The Royal Highland Show.

See our event marquees like never before!

The Royal Highland Show is regarded as one of the biggest agricultural shows in the UK, attracting 217,000 people in 2023.  Field and Lawn hire over 40 event marquees to the Show and their exhibitors.  That is roughly 45,000m sq. of marquee space!

Watch the video

Explore the marquees and see some epic drone footage from The Royal Highland Show. The video reveals epic drone footage of the event, an exclusive interview with our Head of Projects and jaw-dropping views of our marquees and event structures.

This year, one of the highlights was the impressive Golden Shears structure, providing a 30m x 20m agricultural structure. It was the perfect backdrop for the 2023 Golden Shears Sheep Shearing & Wool handling World Championships.  Over 380 competitors and 78 wool handlers from over 30 countries competed in the event.

The marquees take around four weeks to build and after a successful event, the hard work continues as we de-rig the marquees.  The team turn their attention to cleaning, checking and preparing the marquees for their next outing. 

About the build

The Royal Highland Show is a massive undertaking, erecting over 40 structures of this scale requires meticulous coordination and teamwork. The complexity of the build demands attention to detail and adherence to tight schedules. However, with our 35 years of experience in delivering marquees to large scale events and outdoor shows, the team delivered an exceptional build. 

sTUNNING CORPORATE MARQUEES

 

Our corporate, clearspan marquees provided the perfect platform for big brands to showcase a diverse range of products and produce.  These marquees were thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind. 

 

corporate branded marquees

Some marquees featured bespoke branding that perfectly aligned with each exhibitor’s identity, creating a visually stunning and cohesive experience. These corporate marquees not only impressed visitors with their professional appearance but also provided a functional space for businesses to connect with their customers.

Oktoberfest Marquee Hire

Posted on by Mathew Hall

Celebrate Oktoberfest in style!

As autumn approaches, it’s time explore event opportunities beyond summer. The rich tradition of Oktoberfest is now celebrated around the world. The iconic German beer festival provides a great commercial opportunity to bring the spirit of Munich’s Oktoberfest to your own outdoor events.

The history of Ocktoberfest

Originating from Munich, Germany, Oktoberfest is an annual folk festival that dates back to 1810. It was initially a celebration of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage, and it quickly became an eagerly anticipated annual celebration event. In modern times, Ocktoberfest has evolved into one of the world’s largest beer festivals. It draws millions of visitors to enjoy German sausages, Bavarian pretzels, and of course, the famous Oktoberfest beer at Ocktobervest themed events up and down the UK.

Marquee hire for Octoberfest events

As the festival takes place between September and October, a marquee is often a great venue option. It can be completely themed to transport your guests to the heart of Bavaria. Our clearspan event marquees provide the ideal setting for your Oktoberfest party, offering flexibility in size, design, and layout.

A clearspan marquee will provide ample room for seating, dancing, and entertainment. Field and Lawn have a vast range of corporate marquees, suitable for Ocktoberfest.  Our marquees come in a range of sizes from small event structures from 3m up to 9m. Our medium sized marquees range between 10m to 20m. If you are looking to hire a large marquee for your event, we can provide structures that span between 25m up to 30m. 

TEMPORARY OUTDOOR Ocktoberfest BAR STRUCTURES

We love a great beer tent!  Field and Lawn provide a wide range of bar structures and beer tents throughout the year to festivals, shows, events and exhibitions.  Here is a recent example from an outdoor festival. This marquee hire was complimented with long wooden tables and benches to help create a social, lively atmosphere.

The complete Bavarian experience!

To truly embrace the Oktoberfest spirit, our range of structures extends beyond clearspan marquees. We offer authentic smaller beer tents and conical marquees.  These smaller marquees make for great merchandise tents, and security check points.

Behind the Scenes at the Royal Highland Show Build

Posted on by Mathew Hall

What does it take to bring the royal highland show to life!

The Royal Highland Show is an annual showcase for rural and agricultural products, produce and lifestyle.  As the largest agricultural show in Scotland, the event draws enthusiasts and industry professionals from far and wide to the magnificent Royal Highland Centre in Scotland.

The Show has something for everyone, from competitions to shopping, live music and tasty food and drinks.  It also helps to raise funds for the Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS).

The event is anticipated to attract in the region of 55,000 people a day between the 22nd – 25th June 2023.  

The scale of the event means it requires significant temporary infrastructure.  Locally based Field & Lawn Ltd are responsible for the monumental task of constructing a remarkable array of marquees and temporary structures for the event. Building around 14,000m2 (3.5 acres) of covered space. 

Field and lawn - marquee hire for the royal highland show

The month-long build programme started in May and involves meticulous planning and preparation with a team of over 20 people working on the build.  The build programme will see over 40 structures installed for the Show. Good progress is being made across the site.

One of the highlights of the build this year is the impressive Golden Shears structure which spans 30m x 20m.  The Golden Shears World Sheep Shearing and Wool Handling Championships returns to the Royal Highland Show in 2023 after 20 years.  It promises to be a standout event over the weekend under the largest marquee on the site.  

Piers Ballantyne, Head of Projects, Scotland for Field and Lawn commented on the task:

“Having been involved with the show for over, 25 years, we are thrilled to be part of the Royal Highland Show team once again. The scale of the show and the sheer number of marquees needed makes it a very complex build, but one we look forward to every year.  We are on programme, putting the finishing touches to the structures and can’t wait to see the show open!” 

finishing touches added to the marquees ahead of the Royal Highland Show

Mark Currie, Director of Operations at the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland said:

“Field and Lawn are world experts in their field, and we are grateful to have them as part of our team over the Royal Highland Show and across other events at the Royal Highland Centre. The Show is shaping up to be one of the biggest to date, and the Golden Shears Sheep Shearing Championships is part of that appeal. We can’t wait to see and hear the buzz coming from the marquee on the Sunday of the Show when the World Champion is announced.”

The Royal Highland Show Opens on the 22nd June

Our marquees can be equipped with soft or solid sides, glazed panels, PVC windows, levelled flooring, carpet, linings, partitions and doors, providing flexibility and customisation options. Furthermore, we can also connect marquees together to give you additional space. If you are organising a corporate event, we would always recommend high quality flooring for your marquee. 

We offer a range of flooring options including interlocking ply flooring, suspended flooring, cassette flooring and ringbeam Flooring.  Standard ply flooring can be laid to the contours of the ground.  If you’re looking to create a levelled surface, we can supply event structures with cassette or suspended ringbeam flooring. This is generally fitted as part of a steel framed sub-structure floor. This option of flooring gives a flat and level surface up to a height of 600mm.

Floors can be constructed to significant weight calculations.  Take a look at this corporate car exhibition! 

How much space to I need inside a marquee?

guests gather inside a corporate hospitality marquee

A simple 10 x 15 metre marquee structure will provide enough standing space for around 200 people. A 15 x 20 metre marquee will give standing space for approximately 400 people.  If your guests are going to be seated, they will need double the space to allow for chairs and tables.

Please note that this is a simple rule of thumb and becomes more complex when taking into account fire exits, and a combination of people of furniture. Our Project Managers are more than happy to do these calculations for you, so that you get the space you require, whilst meeting Fire Regulation Guidelines.
