Marquee Hire in Doncaster
Pop-up gazebos and party marquees for hire in Doncaster, delivered and set up by our own crew from the Rotherham warehouse. The 3 x 3m gazebo starts at £85, the 3 x 4.5m marquee at £95, and the Christmas Market Stall from £295.
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 Doncaster Events
Doncaster is about 25 minutes east of our Rotherham warehouse via the A630 and M18, a straight run through DN1 to DN12 and out to the surrounding villages. The marquee van does the same M18 run as the rest of our fleet.
The marquee bookings in Doncaster run from the racecourse and the Eco-Power Stadium events through to DN Colleges student days and the council's Christmas light switch-on. Castle Park, Doncaster Rugby Club is a regular venue for the marquee-and-PA pattern, and the Christmas market row goes out to the town-centre event space most years.
Our Doncaster delivery history covers the Christmas Pudding rodeo at the Eco-Power Stadium for Doncaster Rovers FC, multi-day student events at Doncaster College and North Lindsey College, and the corridor of Amazon sites at New Rossington. Marquees pair naturally with all of these - the marquee is the shelter that wraps the rest of the event around it.
For specific Doncaster venues, see our Doncaster venues page. The racecourse, the Hilton Garden Inn, the college campuses and the borough's community halls are all on our regular delivery list.

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 Doncaster
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.
Racecourse Event Build - Doncaster
A multi-marquee build for a race-day corporate hospitality event: 3 x 4.5m marquees lined up for the hospitality area, 500kg concrete weights on tarmac, Festoon Lighting for the afternoon-into-evening pattern. One delivery, one crew, one invoice.
Eco-Power Stadium - Festive Fixture
Rodeo Christmas Pudding inside the marquee for a Doncaster Rovers FC festive event, with candy floss under the awning for the family side. The same pattern we ran at the Eco-Power Stadium. Marquee + rodeo + fun food, loaded together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does marquee hire cost in Doncaster?
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. Doncaster is inside our standard delivery radius via the A630 and M18. Ask us for a quote on your date.
Do you deliver marquees to Doncaster?
Yes, about 25 minutes via the A630 and M18, covering DN1 to DN12 including Bawtry, Tickhill, Mexborough and Askern. Multi-day bookings, which suit the racecourse and showground calendar, are quoted with the second and third days at a reduced rate.
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.
What about hard standing vs grass?
On grass the gazebo frames pin down with supplied pegs. On tarmac, concrete or any hard standing we use 500kg concrete weights instead - typically two or three per gazebo depending on wind. For loose chip or soft ground, Roll a Track Flooring goes underneath. Tell us the surface when you book and we will bring the right ballast.
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 Our Customers Say
Had a hot tub last weekend. The tub itself and gazebo were lovely. The two men that came for drop off and collection were fantastic. I've had other stuff before too (Disco Dome, Bouncy Castle) always the same fab service. Thank you.
