Purvis Marquee Hire

Large Marquees and Bespoke Event Structures for Scotland and the North of England

At Purvis Marquee Hire, we specialise in the design and installation of large marquees and temporary event structures for major events across Scotland and the north of England.

Based in Edinburgh, we are a trusted name in the event industry, known for delivering bespoke festival tents, corporate event marquees, and semi-permanent structures that stand up to Scotland’s weather and your team’s expectations.

With over 170 years of combined expertise, our team is regularly trusted to deliver high-spec structures for premium events, including Royal Garden Parties and Concours of Elegance.

Whether it’s a high-capacity festival tent in Glasgow, a temporary event structure in Carlisle, or a full site set-up in Aberdeen, we provide the marquee infrastructure, safety documentation, site management, and on-the-ground delivery that event professionals depend on.

We construct every marquee on-site, allowing us to tailor layouts, branding, and functionality to suit the needs of large-scale productions. While other providers focus on weddings, Purvis is built for scale.

We partner with event organisers, corporate venues, and festival promoters who require precision planning, compliance-ready operations, and eye-catching structures that support everything from live broadcasting to high-end hospitality.

Our services cover:

Large marquee hire across all mainland UK locations
Bespoke temporary event structures for festivals, exhibitions, and public shows
Event infrastructure planning, including layout design, access planning, and compliance
On-site build teams with deep knowledge of Scottish terrain and urban constraints
A proven record in event safety, documentation and delivery

From Inverness to Newcastle, Purvis Marquee Hire is the behind-the-scenes powerhouse trusted by leading event specialists.

We don’t just supply tents, we build experiences, safeguard timelines, and act as a one-stop partner for large-scale event delivery.
