About Event Hire Costs

What is on this site

One question, "event hire", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Temporary event notice: when you need one, the fee and the deadlines: A temporary event notice costs £21 and needs 10 clear working days' notice. What counts as a licensable activity, the limits per year, and how late TENs work.
• Marquee hire costs: what you are really paying for: Marquee hire is priced by size, structure type, days on site and ground conditions. What is in a package, what is extra, and the questions that make quotes comparable.
• Event hire equipment list: everything people forget to budget for: A practical checklist of event hire equipment by category, from furniture and catering kit to power, heating and toilets, with the items that most often get missed.
• Events in a field: power, water, toilets and the real budget: A bare field has no power, water, drainage or lighting. What has to be brought in, how generators and toilets are specified, and why access decides the labour bill.
