It serves clients with everything from initial consultation to design and build of Clearspan frame structures, floorings, internal linings, lighting, heating, furniture, staging, glass panelling, and more. We heard from Owner Edward Scovell to learn more about the award-winning marquee and structure provider that has become renowned for delivering major projects for the likes of Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Radio 2 in the Park, the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and even The Odyssey film. Best Event Marquee & Temporary Structure Provider 2026 With over 32 years’ experience, Arc Marquees has proven itself a real force to be reckoned with throughout Scotland and across the UK as an event and party hire specialist. It has become one of the most dependable marquee companies in the UK – made possible by its strong retention of staff and the support of its recurring clients and long-standing contracts for events large and small, such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, big corporate events, concerts, and festivals. “We have a large focus on investing in our people,” said Edward, recognising that Arc Marquees wouldn’t be where it is today without its hard-working, committed team. “All staff have direct interaction with clients, so we have created an honest and clear culture throughout. This comes alongside a safety and training culture which is industry-leading.” Arc Marquees enjoys incredible natural beauty and rich history on its doorstep; thus, this manifests rising demand for destination weddings at iconic castles, as well as film and advertising locations. These clients come from all over the UK and the world, seeking out Arc Marquees to provide the structures that serve as the perfect finishing touch to make the wedding of their dreams a reality. Furthermore, being situated in close proximity to Glasgow and Edinburgh, where sporting heritage is abundant and venue facilities host large events, this means Arc Marquees is often called upon for events such as the Commonwealth Games and international golf, football, and rugby events. Indeed, Scotland has the technical ability, track record, and companies such as the industry-leading Arc Marquees to deliver high-end events on budget. “Arc Marquees Ltd has become one of the most reliable marquee companies in the UK, due to a focus on delivering a professional service, involving provision of high-quality equipment, high-quality trained staff, and attention to detail. This is coupled with a comprehensive health and safety approach to all aspects of the business and commitment to sustainability.” Arc Marquees’ clients expect efficient set up and take down, in a way that is as sustainable as possible. “Fully transparent green credentials are becoming increasingly important not only in the festival world but also in the film and TV sector,” Edward explained. “Carbon footprint and a focus on efficient delivery and removal of events is ever-growing. This is also seen in private events where clients are keen to use a marquee company that they can rely on. Clients are willing to pay for full turn-key solutions and have high expectations with value for money. This is why Arc Marquees now has the standing its does industry-wide.” Ultimately, there is a reason Arc Marquees has been so successful for more than three decades, having solidified its position as a go-to provider of marquee and structure hire for so many major players: it goes above and beyond to do exactly what it says it will, and always within timescale and on budget. As such, the future is bright for the business and we asked Edward what this entails. “We have expanded our workforce, premises, equipment inventory, and client list,” he told us. “In increasingly tricky economic headwinds, we continue to grow and have gained a national name for ourselves.” To learn more about Arc Marquees or make an enquiry, visit the company website.
