Transforming Small Spaces into Stunning Event Venues
Not every celebration needs acres of land or a grand country estate. Some of the most memorable events happen in the most unexpected places — like your own back garden. At Academy Marquees, we specialise in transforming compact outdoor spaces into elegant, practical and unforgettable venues with our bespoke marquee and flooring solutions.
Big ideas for small spaces
Just because your garden is small, it doesn’t mean your event has to be. With our extensive stock of different marquee sizes, we design to fit the space available — whether it’s a courtyard, patio, terrace or compact lawn. Our team measures every detail, overcoming challenges like uneven ground, steps, flower beds or even ponds and water features, to make sure the marquee feels perfectly at home.
Bespoke flooring solutions
A solid, level floor is the foundation of any great event space. We offer a range of flooring options to suit your garden and your event style:
Laser level raised flooring to cover uneven areas, protect delicate lawns, link to existing steps or span over garden features.
Modular wood decking to create a seamless outside decking extension to your marquee floor.
Luxury finishes to add that wow factor with a range of carpet colours or wood effect vinyls.
These solutions not only improve comfort and safety but also elevate the overall look and feel of your space.
Custom interior solutions
Every event is unique, and your marquee should reflect that. We can adapt leg heights to work around patios, steps and garden features, install elegant custom linings and drapes, and add lighting features that match your theme. Whether you’re hosting a stylish dinner party, a cosy get together or a milestone celebration, we’ll help you create the perfect backdrop.
Why choose a marquee in your garden?
Convenience: Celebrate at home without the need to hire a venue.
Flexibility: Choose your own style! We can achieve almost any look, with customisable linings, flooring, lighting and more.
Atmosphere: With the right styling, even the smallest gardens feel like a magical event space.
Let’s plan your event
If you’ve been wondering whether your garden is too small to host the kind of event you dream of — the answer is almost always no. With the right design, flooring and interior touches, we can turn it into an amazing space that will surprise your guests.
