Established over 30 years ago, James Fletcher have earned their reputation as the North East's number one supplier of marquees. Based in County Durham supplying equipment in Newcastle, Carlisle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, York and surrounding areas. With an acute eye for detail and extremely accurate planning our highly trained team deliver excellence each and every time.
The client wanted a ‘big top’ feel marquee to host a joint 21st and 60th birthday party with a blue colour scheme. They required space for both a band and a DJ.
The client who has used our services for many years asked us to provide three marquees for a music event with a variety of rock styles in Crook. They also required a high bar in one of the marquees.

It was a one day event with expected capacity of 1500+.
Power and catering were to be supplied in-house.
We supplied:
35m x 12m frame pavilion with black out lining and walls around stage area and high bar along one 40m end.
21m x 9m frame pavilion with 12m PVC clear walls and black walls in one end.
12m x 12m vintage pole peg marquee.
All three frame pavilions were supplied on 2.4m high walls to ensure they were high enough to allow the acts to perform on stage with adequate ‘head’ clearance.
The brief:
The client asked us to supply a marquee for five events on consecutive nights with varying numbers of guests.
The marquee was to be used for five Durham University Students Summer Balls.
The site was the Derwent Manor, near Consett and the client wanted minimum disruption and noise for the guests staying at the hotel.
The client organised his own power supply.
The solution:
We supplied:
55m x 25m frame pavilion with ivory inner lining suitable for 1000 guests – the largest function.
For the smallest function with 600 guests, we screened off one section of the marquee
The marquee had a full interlocking floor and charcoal carpet with a polished pine dance area,
Gold Gilt bentwood chairs and round tables to suit.
There was a separate food prep marquee for the hotel staff to use.
The Executive toilet units were supplied by Loos4hire of Bishop Auckland.
To ensure that there was no inconvenience to hotel guests we worked to the client’s specified schedule, arriving around 8:00am and off site by 16:00pm.
