* Marquee......oddly derived from the French 'Marquise', meaning a canopy
covering the entrance to a theatre. In English, marquise was considered to be
plural and hence the singular 'marquee' appeared, probably about 300 years
ago. So that's why the large tent is called a marquee.
The
marquee has never been out of fashion. In fact bigger, brighter and more
extravagant celebrations are held in them than ever before. They are highly
practical proposition and what's more, they add an air of excitement to any
occasion. So, picture your next special occasion from a
