About us

Abbas Marquees are based in Somerset, near Wells and cater for all types of outdoor occasions including weddings, parties and corporate/private events. If you are arranging a function, large or small, do contact James or Nina Dickson for some friendly advice or even a no-obligation site visit and quotation.

Abbas Marquees has been established for nearly twenty years as a family run marquee and ancillary equipment hire business. We can erect a marquee anywhere within the south west from 3x3m to 12x40m Frame or traditional.

Not only do we have a vast knowledge of the marquee business but we have spent ten years running our own food import and distribution business. With the end user being hotels and restaurants and more importantly chefs and caterers... Prior to this we spent many years within the catering business organising in-house and outside events ourselves.

So we do know a thing or two about weddings and parties.

As we have worked on both sides, as caterer and marquee erector, we have a great understanding of the real needs of the customer, the end result being that you will have a spectacular marquee and your event will run perfectly.

So whether you need us to manage your complete event or just give some friendly advice, we would be happy to do so.

Once we have completed a FREE site visit we can discuss your requirements. Traditional or a framed marquee, plain or lined, with chandeliers or modern LED lighting or perhaps a completely bespoke interior, we do it all.

We will also produce a CAD drawing of your marquee like THIS, which can also be useful for table plans when set up on an artists easel.

All of our equipment is in house rather than using third party hirers, this means we are only using our own meticulously maintained kit.

Once the marquee is up we go to great efforts to make sure the lighting, lining flooring, table coverings are exactly what the customer wants.

All our equipment is certified to meet current fire regulations and all our electrical equipment is Pat tested yearly (Portable Appliance Testing)

Our ethos is quite simple - make it perfect !
