About this space

The Clays Marquee is a marquee-based venue whose defining quality is abundant natural light across a high, translucent-roofed covered reception area.

Design: The interior presents a simple, neutral finish with a high peaked ceiling, plain white linings and timber accents that keep the space visually uncluttered and adaptable.

Features: A built-in PA system and a dedicated dancefloor support evening music, and hosts may bring their own DJ or play their own playlists. The venue provides air conditioning and venue-wide Wi‑Fi for presentations and guest comfort. Accessible toilets, wheelchair access and a step-free entrance support mobility needs.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social reception that combines seated dining and an evening dancefloor.

What sets it apart: A private lawned garden and raised vendor decking sit directly beside the marquee, providing a contained outdoor space for photos, mingling and supplier access.

What guests say: The venue delivers attentive, organised event management and clear communication throughout planning and on the day. The marquee and garden provide an elegant, flexible setting that guests use for photos and to break away from the main room.
