W/18

Host 500+ guests in the W/18

Capacity
480 – 550 seated

Every brand has a flagship product for when only the best will do. We designed and built the Wills 18 metre span range and the accompanying levelled platform flooring, to be the finest marquee available at any price anywhere in the world.

It is a very large marquee, one of the largest marquees available for hire worldwide and it is this spaciousness that makes it so versatile. Suitable for 200–500 plus guests, so perfect for big events, or simply to allow space for the ultimate in interior décor expression.

What makes the W/18 so special?

What makes the Wills 18 so special isn’t size; it is a truly magical space for celebrating life’s milestones.  

The cathedral-like interior is made possible by means of a double row of king poles, each one exiting the canopy and bearing above it a white pennant and our signature flying lights.

Looking at the tent from the outside, Infinity Walls help to create the impression that the canopy is floating clear above the ground, an effect further enhanced by extra-height wall poles.

The use of cotton canvas from our partners at British Millerain (the name behind Barbour and Belstaff) means light, bright, airy interiors by day and a magic lantern glow as twilight falls.

Details such as hand-turned wooden finials, spliced and whipped guy ropes with wooden sliders and canvas valances where the canopy meets the walls are all carried forward from the original designs in the Collection. Operated in conjunction with a levelled platform floor, we can set up on the perfect spot regardless of rough or sloping ground.

Platforms and terraces

Host your event anywhere regardless of sloping or uneven ground. A perfectly level platform can be constructed, large enough to accommodate any marquee in the collection.

Layout

The illustrations on the right show examples of typical layouts inside our 500-seater marquee – one of the most popular options for clients requiring a large capacity marquee. We can bring any layout to life with a bespoke 3D model tailored to your requirements.

Because much of the difference is in the details, we believe there’s no substitute for seeing a marquee in person. We’d love to welcome you to see one set up for a live event or invite you to Wills HQ, where all of our marquees are handcrafted.

Furnishings

Furnishing a marquee for 500+ guests is made easy with our wide range of tables, chairs and in-house accessories, all designed to personalise your large marquee with style and practicality.

Facilities

Not very exciting but alongside your 500 seater marquee you may need a catering tent, heater, fridge trailer, generator or loos, we can supply it all.
