What size marquee do I need?
Choose a marquee by guest count and layout, then check that it fits your venue. For example, a 3 × 8 m marquee and a 4 × 6 m marquee each allow for about 24 seated guests or 32 standing guests.
Seated estimates assume six guests per trestle table. Standing estimates allow about 0.75 m² per guest. Width and length are shown in metres and approximate feet.
