Why Lancashire is a Brilliant County for Marquee Weddings

Couples often choose Lancashire because you can get that countryside wedding feel without sacrificing practicality. It works especially well for guests coming from places like:

  • Preston and the surrounding villages

  • Lancaster and the Lune Valley area

  • Blackburn / Darwen (great for family-heavy guest lists)

  • Blackpool / Fylde coast if you want a coastal weekend vibe

  • the wider Ribble Valley (one of the most popular “country wedding” pockets)

A marquee wedding also suits Lancashire’s “make a weekend of it” culture — guests often book nearby accommodation and stay late, which means your reception space needs to flow well from day to night.

The Marquee: 12×24m Pretty Petal Pole

A 12×24m marquee is a sweet spot for larger weddings: it gives you the scale of a venue, but the flexibility of a blank canvas.

It works particularly well if you want distinct zones such as:

  • a comfortable dining layout (rounds or trestles)

  • a dancefloor and DJ/band area that doesn’t interfere with dining

  • a bar area that can cope when everyone heads there at once

  • optional extra space for evening guests joining later

The photos on this page show exactly why bigger marquees feel better: guests aren’t squeezed in, and the whole celebration looks expansive and effortless.
