Camelot was founded in 2008 by the father-and-son team of Ray and Neal Hendes. We proudly supply marquees across Dorset and the South Coast for a diverse range of events in both the domestic and commercial sectors.
Having earned accolades such as the Dorset Wedding Awards multiple times, along with other industry honors, we demonstrate the professionalism and meticulous attention to detail that goes into every job.
While our initial specialization was in clearspan marquee hire, we have recently diversified into stretch tents. Additionally, we stock and supply a variety of other event-related products for both marquee types. Clients can rely on us for a comprehensive service, delivered by a professional and experienced crew, ensuring the highest quality products for their events
We’ve been building the finest marquees since 2008 – check the REVIEWS page to see how we did.
Since the inception of Camelot Marquees, I have been deeply involved and harbor a genuine passion for every facet of the events industry. As a key player in our business, I take pride in personally engaging with every client, ensuring a hands-on approach to 90% of our builds. I believe this level of involvement is crucial for upholding our high standards.
Armed with a wealth of knowledge and experience, I navigate most builds effortlessly. However, I relish the occasional challenge, and the dynamic nature of the industry always keeps things fresh and interesting.
In 2022, I embarked on two exciting ventures. First is Garden Party Pros, a sister company to Camelot, dedicated to garden-related events—from birthdays to weddings, Christmas parties to summer soirées. We recognized an underserved market in need of the quality and professional standards synonymous with the wedding, corporate, and festival sectors.
The second venture is the Marquee Hire Hub—a virtual space for marquee hire companies to converge, connect, and find support when needed. Drawing on my extensive information, experience, and knowledge, I am enthusiastic about helping others in the industry thrive.
