Choosing the Right Marquee Flooring for Your Event
Flooring is one of the most important decisions when planning your marquee event. The right surface not only affects comfort and appearance but also determines how your guests move through the space. From smooth wooden floors to soft carpets and rubber walkways, each flooring option has its own benefits depending on the season, ground conditions, and event type. At South East Marquees, we supply and fit a full range of flooring solutions for marquees of every size and style.
Hard Marquee Flooring – Stability and Strength
Our hard marquee flooring provides a solid, level base for any event. It’s perfect for uneven or soft ground, offering reliable stability for tables, chairs, and dance floors. Hard flooring is often chosen for larger functions such as weddings, corporate events, or festivals, where heavy foot traffic requires extra support. It also helps protect carpets and linings from moisture — especially useful during autumn and winter.
Marquee Carpets – Comfort and Warmth
If you’re looking for a softer finish underfoot, our marquee carpets add both comfort and colour. Available in a wide choice of styles, they can match your event décor or complement your marquee linings for a coordinated look. Carpets are ideal for formal dinners and wedding receptions, giving the space a more luxurious feel. When paired with marquee heaters, they also help maintain warmth throughout colder months.
Rubber and Matting Options – Practical and Weatherproof
For outdoor walkways, catering zones, or connecting marquees, our Tex Rubber Flooring and Coconut Matting are excellent practical options. Both are durable and weather-resistant, providing grip and protection in wet conditions. These surfaces are particularly useful at outdoor sites where guests move between multiple structures or when setting up in fields or on uneven ground.
Event Type and Flooring Choice
The style of your event will often guide your flooring decision. Weddings and formal events tend to favour full coverage with carpets and hard flooring for a refined look, while garden parties or casual gatherings may only require partial coverage or matting. For events that include a dance floor and bar, combining hard flooring beneath the main areas with carpet elsewhere offers both practicality and elegance.
Installation and Finish
Every flooring option is installed and levelled by our experienced marquee hire team. We ensure a precise fit within your Clear Span marquee or party tent marquee, with tidy edges and secure joins. Flooring can also be extended into entrances or outdoor walkways, allowing a seamless flow throughout your event space.
