DB Entertainment has been hiring out event kit since 1999, and 95% of it lives in-house in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham. The marquee range runs from a 3 x 3m pop-up gazebo at £85 through to the Christmas Market Stall Hire at £295 and the Party Marquee Hire package from £89, with weights, barriers, flooring, lighting and furniture all on the same van. Every hire carries £5 million public liability insurance and is delivered, set up and collected by our own crew.
Marquee Hire for Barnsley Events
Barnsley is about 15 minutes from our Rotherham warehouse via the A61 or the M1 at J36 and J37, which puts marquees and the wider 600-product range within a short, cheap run of every venue in the borough.
The marquee bookings in Barnsley split between council events, working men's clubs and the Christmas circuit. Barnsley MBC has booked the Christmas Market Stalls for town-centre events, Locke Park runs the summer fun day pattern with 4 to 6 gazebos and fun food carts, and Elsecar Heritage Centre has had marquees alongside our Chair-O-Planes.
The working men's club and miners' welfare circuit is the most consistent Barnsley pattern for marquees. A typical booking is two or three 3 x 4.5m marquees outside the club for the summer family day, with a rodeo bull in the function room and candy floss under the awning. The same venue books again at Christmas for the staff party.
For specific Barnsley venues, see our Barnsley venues page. Barnsley College, the GXO warehouse at Grimethorpe, Billington Structures at Wombwell and Barnsley MBC's event spaces are all on the regular run.

Holding It Down - Weights, Barriers and Flooring
Hard standing changes the build. Each marquee on tarmac or concrete needs weight instead of pegs, and the 500kg concrete weights are the council-event default. The whole infrastructure range below travels on the same van as the marquee.
Lighting, Power and Furniture
The marquee goes out with everything it needs to be lit, powered and dressed. Pick from the list below, or let us quote the whole build.
What's Included
- Delivery, setup and collection on our own trucks
- Erection and securing: pegs on grass, weight bags or 500kg concrete weights on hard standing
- Sides, backs and rain gutters where the booking needs them
- £5 million public liability insurance as standard
- Risk assessments and method statements emailed to your venue before the event
- Branded printing in-house: custom gazebo tops, sides and banners from our own graphics team
- Multi-day and multi-marquee discounts quoted per event
There is no customer collection - the warehouse is not open for browsing, only the sale items are viewable in person. Everything arrives set up and ready, and our crew places furniture and signage while we are there.
Common Marquee Builds for Barnsley
Single marquees are the exception; most of our marquee work is multi-item. The two builds below are the patterns we run locally - each shows the constituent products, all of which travel on one delivery.
Working Men's Club Fun Day - Barnsley
Two or three 3 x 4.5m marquees out on the club field, rodeo bull in the function room and candy floss under the awning. The pattern that runs across Darton, Hoyland, Wombwell and the borough's club circuit.
Barnsley Light Switch-On - Autumn Marquee Row
A row of Christmas Market Stalls with Festoon Lighting between, the council-compliant market pattern. Multi-stall hires on the same delivery get a discount versus single stalls - the more stalls in the row, the cheaper per stall.
Specifications
- 3 x 3 m gazebo: 3m x 3m footprint, around 2.4m peak height, fits four to six people standing

- Surface: gazebos work on grass, tarmac, paving or indoor floors. Tell us if your pitch is loose chip, sloped, or a grass-and-hardstanding mix - the weight plan changes
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does marquee hire cost in Barnsley?
The 3 x 3m gazebo starts at £85, the 3 x 4.5m marquee at £95, the Christmas Market Stall at £295 and the 500kg concrete weights at £15 per block. Barnsley is inside our standard delivery radius with no mileage surcharge. Get a quote for your event.
Do you deliver marquees to Barnsley?
Yes, about 15 minutes from the Rotherham warehouse via the A61 or the M1 at J36 or J37. We cover S70 to S75 and out towards Penistone and Cawthorne. The two-day Chair-O-Planes hire at Elsecar Heritage Centre was a local run for us, and the marquee van does the same trip.
What size marquee do I need?
The 3 x 3m gazebo fits four to six people standing, which is why it is the default for a beer garden, market stall or small party. The 3 x 4.5m marquee takes six to eight standing or four seated, and the Christmas Market Stall is the same 3 x 4.5m footprint with a timber-look front. For larger events, hire two or three in a row - that is the pattern DB uses. There is no single 9 x 18m pole marquee in our stock.
Can I hire multiple marquees for one event?
Yes, and most bookings are this. A 7-gazebo charity walk, a 4-marquee corporate summer social, a 10-stall Christmas market - these are all real DB bookings. Multi-marquee hires on the same delivery get a discount versus single hires, and the same crew sets them all up.
Do you do Christmas market stalls?
Yes - the Christmas Market Stall Hire from £295 is a 3 x 4.5m mini marquee with a timber-look market hut frontage, the German/Belgian Christmas market style. Up to ten in stock. Town-centre light switch-ons and festive fairs across South Yorkshire are the standard booking pattern from November to mid-December.
What insurance and paperwork do you provide?
Every hire carries £5 million public liability insurance, and we email risk assessments and method statements to you or your venue before the event. Councils, schools and corporate venues deal with this paperwork every week and our documents are set up for their procurement process. If your venue needs anything else, ask and we will provide it.
