Generator Hire for Outdoor Events: Powering Your Marquee or Garden Party
A marquee in a field or a party at the bottom of the garden is magical, until you realise there’s nowhere to plug in the music. Generator hire solves it, as long as you plan what you need to power. Here’s the simple guide.
- List everything you want to power before you book.
- A 6kVA generator is ideal for sound, lighting and smaller event kit.
- Power distribution gets electricity safely to where your equipment is.
- Book it alongside your sound, lighting and DJ so it’s all planned together.
When do you need a generator?
Any time there’s no mains power where the party is: marquees in fields, garden parties, outdoor ceremonies, festivals, sports days and pop-up events. Even where there is power, it may not be in the right place or enough for everything.
What can a 6kVA generator power?
Our 6kVA Hyundai long-run diesel generator is ideal for sound, lighting, DJ equipment and smaller event kit. The best way to be sure is to tell us everything you want to run, and we’ll check it’s enough before you book.
Power distribution
Having a generator is only half the job. We supply power distribution with it, so you get power safely to where your equipment is, rather than one socket at the edge of the field.
Plan it with the rest of your kit
Booking power, sound and lighting and your DJ together means one team plans what’s needed and where. For outdoor wow moments, add flame machines, and for speeches and presentations, an LED screen.

We regularly set up at hotels, golf clubs and country houses across the area. Find your venue for local tips:
