Bespoke Event Structures for Scotland’s Coastal and Rural Spaces

Argyll is one of Scotland’s most breathtaking regions, rugged coastlines, island views, and remote open spaces. It’s also one of the most rewarding areas for large-scale events. But if you’ve ever organised a festival, corporate gathering, or public show here, you’ll know the challenges: exposed locations, unpredictable weather, and difficult site access.

That’s where Purvis Marquee Hire comes in. We’ve been delivering large marquees and temporary event structures in Argyll for years, working with event organisers, venues, and local authorities to make ambitious outdoor events possible, even in the trickiest terrain.

Why Argyll Needs Bespoke Event Solutions

When you’re planning an event in Argyll, standard solutions don’t always work. We’ve built structures on castle lawns overlooking the Sound of Mull, installed clearspan marquees on soft coastal ground, and created fully branded pavilions in remote estates where every delivery needs a detailed plan.

Our experience includes:

  • Festival marquees for music, arts, and food events along the west coast

  • Corporate hospitality structures at historic estates and private venues

  • Community and public event spaces in towns like Oban, Campbeltown, and Inveraray

  • Bespoke temporary structures for island-linked events requiring ferry logistics

Because we construct each marquee on site, every project is tailored to the ground, the weather, and your requirements. That means flooring systems that stabilise on soft grass, high wind-rated structures for coastal exposure, and full site layouts that manage crowd flows and access in complex environments.


Making Rural and Coastal Events Possible

Argyll’s beauty is part of its complexity. Sites can be remote, uneven, or open to the elements, and that demands specialist expertise.

When we deliver temporary event structures in Argyll, we plan for:

  • Wind load and weather resilience: Our structures are engineered to withstand exposed conditions.

  • Access and logistics: We coordinate deliveries and build crews around ferry schedules, single-track roads, and challenging terrain.

  • Compliance and safety: We work closely with local authorities to provide full safety documentation and secure sign-offs.

  • Branded finishes and bespoke layouts: From open-sided pavilions to blacked-out AV spaces, we make sure the structure fits your event perfectly.

Event professionals across Argyll know that having a single supplier who can handle planning, infrastructure, and compliance makes a huge difference. That’s exactly what we do.
