Our Marquee Erector roles

We may be biased, but here at West Country Marquees Ltd we think we have a great team. However, our busy summer period ahead means we are looking to recruit more great people to join us.

We are looking for hard working, punctual individuals with an eye for detail who enjoy working as part of a team.

No previous marquee experience is required, on the job training is provided.

We provide marquees for a variety of events; from weddings and private partes, to corporate and sporting events and festivals (and everything in between).

The main roles of a marquee erector are to:

· Assist in the erection and installation of our range of marquees

· Install associated marquee products, such as flooring, linings, furniture, dance floors, etc.

· Assist in the de-rig of our marquees after events

· Following company practices and procedures, including those around Health and Safety

· Working as part of a team

Worcestershire Wedding Marquee

By Eddie Cope • February 5, 2026

Worcestershire Garden Wedding Marquee Nice and local to us, this well cared for garden became home to one of our wedding marquees for a couple last summer. A festoon lit walkway led people along the gravel pathway beside the family home on to a lawn where a 6m x 6m Chinese Hat Pagoda entrance marquee provided a stunning entrance from the lawn. This 12m wide x 30m long main space housed a central circular bar, board floor and new carpet, with elegant round tables and Oak crossback chairs. In the roof space, large floral displays broke up the ivory pleated linings and were symmetrically flanked by crystal chandeliers. Warm white uplighters back-lit the windows and par can lighting hidden in the roof of the entrance Chinese Hat all helped to provide a really nice look and feel for the evening reception. Lastly, we lit up some garden features including trees near the entrance to really create a different look and feel within this family garden setting.
