Christmas Marquees & Awnings: Extend Your Space and Weatherproof Your Event
When the festive season arrives, so too does the pressure on available space. Whether you’re a business managing Christmas footfall, a hospitality venue planning outdoor festivities, or a homeowner preparing to host extended family, additional covered space becomes invaluable.
That’s where Christmas marquees and awnings from Four Seasons Marquees come in. Designed to be both stylish and practical, our temporary structures allow you to extend existing buildings, create covered walkways, and provide safe, dry access between key areas—all while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Flexible Solutions for Busy Retailers and Event Venues
In the run-up to Christmas, garden centres, farm shops, hotels and restaurants often experience a surge in visitor numbers. Extending your existing building with a frame marquee or awning allows you to offer additional covered retail or hospitality space without needing planning permission or permanent alterations.
We’ve supported clients across Hampshire, Surrey and London with marquees that:
- Extend café seating into gardens or patios
- Add festive cover to outdoor Christmas markets and tree lots
- Create dry, heated queuing areas or entrances
- Provide weatherproof cover for pop-up gift shops or ticketing booths
Our structures are designed for ease of access and seamless integration with your existing layout, using wall abutments and guttering systems to ensure a watertight connection between the marquee and your building.
Perfect for Winter Weddings and Private Celebrations
At Christmas, indoor space can be at a premium—especially if you’re hosting a winter wedding, New Year’s Eve party, or a large family gathering. A marquee or awning can make all the difference, creating:
- A covered drinks reception area or entrance
- Weatherproof walkways between house and marquee
- Cloakroom zones or food and bar stations tucked outside the main space
- Extension to a conservatory, orangery or outbuilding
Our marquees can be lined, carpeted and fully heated, ensuring your guests stay warm and dry. We also offer clear roof panels, fairy lights and seasonal décor to keep the festive atmosphere alive even as you move between spaces.
Covered Access That’s Safe and Practical
The British weather is notoriously unpredictable—even more so in December. Rain, frost or wind can present a real challenge when moving between buildings or when managing visitor access. Our marquee awnings and linkways offer an ideal solution.
We can install:
- Covered entrances from car parks or drop-off points
- Link corridors between buildings and main marquees
- Accessible ramps and walkways with handrails and non-slip flooring
- Sheltered staff or service access areas
To further support smooth logistics, we also offer temporary trackways—robust ground protection systems that make it easy to move vehicles and equipment across soft or uneven terrain. These are particularly useful for deliveries, waste collection, or in any scenario where you need secure, non-slip vehicle access during wet or frosty conditions.
For schools, care homes and hospitality settings, covered walkways also improve accessibility and safety, protecting guests and staff from the elements while reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Fast Installation, Minimal Disruption
One of the major benefits of temporary structures is the speed and flexibility with which they can be installed. In most cases, we can erect and dismantle your marquee or awning in a single day, outside of trading or event hours to minimise disruption.
Our team will advise on:
- The best location and layout
- Fixing or anchoring methods suited to your ground surface
- Access for deliveries and guests
- Power supply, heating and lighting options
Designed for Winter Conditions
Our Christmas marquees and awnings are built to withstand challenging winter weather, from heavy rain to freezing temperatures. Key features include:
- Robust frame construction with secure anchoring
- Waterproof, flame-retardant PVC covers
- Thermostatically controlled heaters
- Optional flooring systems with insulation
- Integrated gutters and downpipes for effective drainage
And of course, we can finish your structure with seasonal theming, from simple fairy lights and garlands to full-scale festive décor.
