Marquee needed for Newmarket Shows

[Penniless]

Does anyone know or have a marquee that they would lend us for our charity horse shows in Newmarket this year? Sadly, the large tent that we've been using for a number of years isn't in as good a shape as we would like. so was wondering if there was any generous hire company or individual who might possibly let us have the use of a marquee for our two shows (one in early July - being part of the well publicised July Festival - and one in late August).

Doesn't have to be a massive thing - big enough to house show secretary and display trophies, rosettes and prizes, plus an area where our judges could sit for their lunch break. Don't need flooring, lights, etc. etc. just a basic cover in case it was to rain!

Naturally we would give as much publicity for you/your company as we could.

Both shows are held at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket and we are allowed on site two days previous to the shows to set up rings etc.

All proceeds raised from the show goes to charity so therefore we are unable to replace our tent this year, and sadly we don't have the personal finances available to purchase another tent. If anyone can help, we would be extremely grateful. Thanks. Please PM me if you prefer.

Bit of a random one but I work for Waitrose in the kent and between 5/6 branches we have a mini marquee/oversized gazebo type thing that we share between us for doing school fetes etc . I don't know if this is a company wide thing or if its just our local branches that have sorted one out for us but it might be worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. We did actually have Waitrose sponsor two Championships last year, so it may be worth me this year asking them if their branch has anything like this that they use for promotions. They did bring their home shopping unit along to the shows last year, but that was the mobile unit (transit type of thing). Thanks though - will ask around.
