Top 5 Themed Party Ideas for Marquees
Our team at Barny Lee Marquees love a party, working with our clients to create something spectacular is our forte! The best thing about having a party in a marquee is the blank canvas that we start with on which to develop a theme, create a space that is visually inspiring and ensure a fantastic atmosphere for your guests.
With Halloween approaching we thought we would share our top five themed party ideas so that you can get planning!
1. Gatsby
Made famous by The Great Gatsby movie with Leonardo DiCaprio it’s the perfect theme to recreate the roaring twenties, flapper dresses and Charleston dancers. The perfect venue for this theme would be Colehayes Park, a grade II listed manor house in a secluded spot on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. There is even a private lake for swimming, boating, and canoeing. Have a look at Colehayes Park and more venues for marquee hire in Devon here.
2. James Bond
An easy black-tie option with a twist – from casino tables and martini towers there is plenty of inspiration from the endless Bond movies. If you looking for opulence and James Bond glammour then West Wycombe House on the outskirts of London is your venue! West Wycombe sits on a 5000-acre estate. Italianate porticoes and colonnades provide a spectacular setting for a grand wedding within reach of London. For more wedding venues near london visit our marquee hire in London recommendations.
3. Halloween
A pumpkin cake, apple bobbing, spooky treats, cauldrons and spiders. It’s an easy theme to create that entertains guests of all ages in the Autumn. If you’re looking for the perfect backdrop for an autumnal wedding then Forde Abbey in Wiltshire could be your venue. The Great Hall with an oak panelled ceiling and tall mullioned windows, is a truly majestic space that could be themed to create a wonderfully opulent autumnal wedding or party.

4. Festival
It’s a classic party theme that is perfect for the summer. Lanterns and flags are a must! Take inspiration from The Glastonbury Retreat, Barny’s luxury glamping retreat for VIP guests at Glastonbury festival. Think luxury safari tents, pamper rooms, hot tubs, fully stocked bar, 24 hour security, personal buggies taking you around the festival site. For festival inspriation check out The Glastonbury Retreat on our Marquee hire in Somerset page.
5. Circus
The trick is in the draping of the marquee to create those fantastic circus colour. Get those paint brushes out to give your guests the ultimate clown face. Check out a wealth of venues for Marquee hire in Bath that could be perfect for a circul themed wedding or party.
