Step outside your marquee as the sun begins to set and you are taken to a completely different place…

There is something so evocative about the sight of a marquee in the moonlight.  Stand outside and look as the light that seeps through the fabric and outlines the shape of the marquee.  Watch how the dancing and disco lights cast oversized shadows on the lawn. See how the pretty festoon lights strung on poles illuminate the path back to the celebrations inside.

But before you are drawn back in to the celebrations, take a minute to watch and listen to laughter, the singing and the music … this memory will stay with you long after the occasion is over and is the magic only a marquee can provide.
