Covid Testing Sites

Nationwide Covid-19 Test Site Installation

Not our normal work and we wish it wasn't required but we've been busy setting up Covid-19 test sites and on site labs throughout the UK.

Our teams have set up numerous sites now including Edinburgh & Gatwick airports along with other test sites in Deeside, Manchester, Stansted, Exeter and Ramsgate.  The work has included the installation of 8 lane drive through test centres using our clearspan marquees and concrete weights, we've also turned our hand to delivery & install collapsible modular buildings.

With the sites expected to be required for at least 6 months, we're continually investing in more marquees and concrete ballast to satisfy the hire demand we're experiencing.

We were delighted to help supply the wedding marquee & furniture for this lovely Kinver couple for their wedding in the summer of 2023. West Country Marquees provided a 12m clearspan marquee with a chinese hat entrance, the marquee was fitted out with board floor & carpet along with black LED starlight linings which are always a hit for early/mid summer weddings when the nights are shorter. We also supply our rustic bar unit, a semi-circle for this wedding but it can be booked as a full round bar. Our rustic lighting bars with Edison bulbs complemented the popular oak crossback chairs. The couple & family used our open weekend as an opportunity to view all of the available marquee hire & furniture options, if you'd like to visit our upcoming event on 2nd & 3rd March 2024 please contact us or follow this link .
Gloucestershire wedding marquee hire

Last summer gave us one of more entertaining & memorable weddings when we supplied the lovely Imogen & Jack with their wedding marquees held in the grounds of the stunning Twyning Park in Gloucestershire. With an owl as the ring bearer, "champonies/unicorns" as the bar staff and the couples unique design for the marquees it certainly was a great day. West Country Marquees supplied a ceremony marquee for the river meadow followed by a larger marquee on the main lawn for dining & dancing, it was all capped off with a spectacular firework display. Imogen & Jack wanted a more industrial look so opted to decorate our marquee using streamers, foliage and even a boat bar. We supplied our rustic trestle tables along with oak cross back chairs, we also supplied our all weather wood effect dancefloor.

Music Ideas for Your Marquee Wedding or Event Are you planning an event or a wedding in a marquee? Then you are in the right place. West Country Marquees supply the Worcester and Gloucester areas with quality marquees finished to the highest standards. To compliment any event or wedding day live music is a must, and in this blog, we are taking a look live bands for hire to add that wow factor to your occasion. Hire an Acoustic Roaming Band A roaming band is also known as a wandering band or wandering musicians will as in the title roam around inside and outside the marquee while guests and clients mingle, chat and have a few drinks. The great thing about a roaming band is they are not tied to one spot like a stage. They perform unamplified, so no wires and leads get in the way. You will find a roaming band is a perfect choice for a sunny afternoon drinks reception, entertaining family and friends and encouraging some singing and dancing along to their songs. Your typical roaming bands would be in the form of a trio or 4 and 5-piece bands and would perform for up to 2 hours of live music with short intervals in between. Mumford Style Folk-Rock Bands Are you having a festival style wedding or event and looking to hire a folk-rock band? The popular festival style bands are the Mumford folk bands with double bass, acoustic guitars, banjos and drums. Thanks to the popularity of Mumford & Sons, these acoustic folk-rock bands are the number 1 choice for an outdoor festival style wedding or event in the UK. This new breed of Mumford folk-rock style bands has great flexibility, not only in the instruments they play but the style of songs they sing. Being able to perform those Mumford acoustic style songs and then performing a more indie-rock set of songs swapping acoustic guitars for electric guitars. Having your wedding in a marquee is extremely popular and lends itself to having a Mumford style folk band. With different sizes available to suit the number of guests at your wedding, what could be better than having your wedding in a marquee in your back garden in the summer months. Hire a String Quartet Whether you are holding a corporate event or a wedding, a string quartet would be an excellent choice adding a touch of elegance to the proceedings. Having a string quartet performing in the background will inject class and style to the occasion. String ensembles not only performs classical repertoires but classical reinterpretations of those classic pop songs. You can choose an acoustic quartet, or if you want something a bit livelier, you can even go for an electric quartet. Jazz & Vintage Bands One of the more popular choices for a marquee event would be to hire a jazz band . A jazz band can be versatile in offering background music with or without a singer. If you are looking for music to dance to, a jazz swing band is an awesome choice covering music from the 30s and 40s. How about a Vintage band covering music from various decades like the 20s or a rock n roll band from the 50s. Have you ever heard of a Postmodern jukebox style band? These bands are extremely popular due to Scott Bradlees Post-Modern band. They will take a modern popular song and perform it in the style of the roaring 20s adding, a completely new twist to it. These are just a few ideas for live music next time you hire a marquee from West Country Marquees for an upcoming corporate event or wedding.
