Film and TV Marquee Hire London
Reliable Marquees for Film and TV Productions Across London.
Crew bases, green rooms, catering units, costume and makeup suites, and base camp structures, installed quickly, run reliably, and struck cleanly when you’re done.
On a film or TV production, the marquee is the last thing you want to think about.
It needs to go up on time, do its job, and come down without a fuss.
Ruby’s Marquees has been installing professional structures for productions across London and the South East since 1988. Crew bases, green rooms, catering units, costume and makeup suites, base camp setups. Whatever the brief, we handle it around your schedule.
We Know What Productions Need On Location.
Film and TV Environments Are Not Like Events.
Timelines are tight, access is often complicated, and the space needs to work hard from the moment it goes up. A green room that isn’t ready or a catering unit that can’t handle the load are not options.

We understand the operational pressure productions work under, and we plan every installation around it. Scaled plans supplied on request, risk assessments and insurance documentation provided as standard, and a team that shows up when they say they will.
What’s Included
Everything your production marquee needs, in one package.
On location, the space needs to work properly from day one. Our all-inclusive production marquee packages cover every practical element so your crew has what they need without delays or complications.
Structure and sizing
Bespoke marquee structures, sized to your guest count and the shape of your venue. Clear span frames mean no internal poles, so the full floor is usable and every guest has a clear view of the top table.
Pleated ivory ceilings and linings come as standard, with starlight ceilings, clear roof panels and coloured drapes to match your scheme. Level flooring on any ground, waterproof throughout, and discreet heating for cooler months.
Flooring
Hardwood, carpet and matting options, laid over a solid subfloor levelled to your ground. Sloping lawns, gravel, driveways and uneven paving are all fine. We scaffold and shim underneath so the finished surface sits flat underfoot.
Choose a finish to suit the day, from warm hardwood to carpet in your colour, or matting for a more relaxed setting. Dance floors, parquet or chequer, can be set wherever they work best in the layout.

Lighting
From soft ambient lighting through to statement chandeliers, we design lighting that sets the tone for your day and carries it into the evening. Festoon strings for a warm glow, chandeliers where you want a focal point, uplighters to wash the linings in colour.
Everything runs on dimmers, so the room can lift for speeches, settle over dinner and drop when the dance floor opens. All wired and hidden within the build.
Generators
We can supply and arrange generator hire to ensure your production has reliable power on location, wherever you are filming. From smaller shoots to larger productions, we can source the right generator for your requirements, with delivery, positioning and cabling arranged where needed. Keep lighting, equipment, catering and essential facilities running smoothly, even in remote locations.
Fast installation and breakdown
Install and derig dates arranged entirely around your production schedule. We work to your timeline, not ours, coordinating access, setup and removal to fit seamlessly around your filming days. Whether you need an early installation, a quick turnaround or extended hire, we’ll plan the logistics around your production to keep everything running smoothly.
Choosing the Right Marquee Hire
Every corporate marquee we build uses the same clearspan (frame) structure, giving you a clean, professional space that works for presentations, exhibitions, or client events.

Marquee Sizes for Film and TV Productions
Film and TV marquees are typically sized around production needs rather than guest numbers, wardrobe and makeup, crew catering, equipment storage, or a production office. A few common setups:
| Marquee Size | Typical Use on Set |
|---|---|
| 4.5m x 6m | Wardrobe or makeup unit |
| 6m x 12m | Crew catering or green room |
| 9m x 18m | Production office or equipment storage |
| 12m x 24m+ | Multi-purpose base camp for larger productions |
Every production is different, so we’d recommend talking us through your shoot’s schedule, crew size, and site access, we can then confirm the right size and turnaround for your production.
