Making Every Terrain Work for You

As event professionals, we know that transforming any terrain into a comfortable, functional space for guests requires ingenuity, expertise, and a touch of magic. At Purvis Marquee Hire, we have mastered this art. 

The Terrain Challenge: More than Just a Pretty View

Every outdoor event starts with a vision – a breathtaking backdrop that sets the scene for memorable moments. But as any seasoned event professional will tell you, the beauty of a location often comes with logistical hurdles. Uneven ground, soft soil, and unpredictable weather can all play havoc with seating arrangements. The challenge is not just to provide seats but to ensure they remain stable, accessible, and comfortable throughout the event.

Our mission at Purvis is to turn these challenges into opportunities for innovation. 

Innovating with Adaptable Seating Solutions

One of our key strategies is the use of modular seating systems. These systems are designed to be versatile, allowing us to configure seating arrangements that adapt to the contours of the landscape. For instance, our interlocking chairs and bench systems can be adjusted to account for slopes and dips, ensuring a level seating area regardless of the ground’s natural topography.

Moreover, we prioritise materials that are not only durable but also lightweight and easy to transport. This flexibility is crucial for multi-site events where rapid setup and breakdown are essential. Our aluminium-framed chairs, for example, offer the perfect balance of sturdiness and portability, making them ideal for events spanning multiple locations.

Comfort and Accessibility: The Cornerstones of Great Seating

Comfort is non-negotiable. Whether guests are seated for a 20-minute ceremony or a three-hour concert, their experience hinges on the quality of their seating. At Purvis, we offer a range of seating options, from plush upholstered chairs for VIP sections to ergonomic folding chairs for general admission areas. Each piece is selected with care, ensuring that it meets our high standards of comfort and durability.

Accessibility is another critical consideration. We understand the importance of inclusivity in event planning, which is why we offer seating solutions that cater to all guests, including those with mobility challenges. Our accessible seating options are designed to integrate seamlessly with the overall layout, ensuring that every guest enjoys the same level of comfort and convenience.

The Aesthetics of Seating: Blending Function with Style

In the world of events, aesthetics matter. The visual appeal of seating can enhance the overall ambiance, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Our team works closely with event planners to select seating that complements the event’s theme and decor. 

But aesthetics go beyond the chairs themselves. Our innovative use of draping, lighting, and accessories can transform seating areas into focal points of the event. 

Looking Ahead: The Future of Seating Solutions

As the events industry continues to evolve, so too will our seating solutions. Innovations in materials, design, and technology will enable us to push the boundaries of what’s possible. At Purvis, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these developments, ensuring that our clients always have access to the latest and greatest in event seating.

And now, as you plan your next big event, remember this: no terrain is too tough, no challenge too great. With the right seating solutions, you can transform any location into a space of comfort and elegance. 


With this comprehensive approach to seating solutions, we at Purvis aim to support event professionals in delivering unforgettable experiences. We take pride in our ability to adapt to any terrain and ensure comfort and style for every guest.
