OUR STOCK AND PRICES 2026

Pengelly’s Event Hire offers affordable wedding, festival, party and event hire stock throughout Cornwall and South Devon.

Our hire stock is older and more weathered than equipment hired out by the premier hire companies and, although perfectly usable and practical, may show signs of use. If you’re looking for items for a shabby-chic, bespoke event then we’re your first choice. If you seeking pristine, first class marquees etc, then we suggest you seek out a premium supplier.

Our prices are do not include delivery or collection, although we can offer that service.

We are based in Porthleven so, as a rough guide, delivery as far as Truro is £100 each way, Truro and beyond £150 each way.

With all our equipment hire, you will be expected to put it in place. With marquees, we will help you to erect but you will need to take down yourself. We can help you take down the marquee and pack it away properly. The cost for this help is £150. With the larger hires, we will provide extra labour to load / unload the van and help erect / take down. The cost for this help is around £200, depending how how much kit there is.

We can provide labour to help set events up, but this will be at an hourly rate.

* Three main poles / a lot more work to put up.

Other sizes available, please ask.

Clockwise from top left:

40ft by 60ft

Marquees can have window wall sheets or covered, entrances can be placed anywhere and all wall sheets are detachable.

New in stock: stretch tents

We have now taken stock of a RHI stretch tent that can be used in a variety of shapes and sizes.

We have a variety of flooring options for your event. If you’re having a standing-only event, then you may not need flooring.

However, a ‘hard’ area for a dancefloor is often a good idea as a lot of dancing can make an area become slippery and damage the grass.

Also, the feet of chairs can sink into soft ground.

Below are our flooring options. We have extensive matting flooring, but limited hardwood fllooring.

Having a band or DJ that need to elevated? We’ve got several staging options as well.

Hard wooden flooring

We’ve got a selection of wooden hard flooring that slots together. This can be covered with a parquet-style lino that we have (or can be left exposed). It’s simple, but it makes a good dancefloor. We’ve got quite a lot of it. The price varies with the size of marquee / amount of flooring required.

Price: £250-ish

Green marquee matting

Durable matting that comes in rolls and kept in place with metal pins, the price varies with the size of marquee / amount of flooring required.
