It is not unusual for people to allow their marquees to be subsequently used for a charity or community function.
Would you consider allowing Suffolk Opera to use your marquee for a concert after you have finished with it? If so, please let us know!
This concert took place because the marquee had been used for a wedding and then stood empty for a few days before it was taken down. The organisers felt that it could be used for a fundraising event, so they sold the tables and guests brought their own picnics. They held an auction and a raffle, laid on some entertainment and raised a significant amount of money for charity.
Here is some of the feedback that we received from the concert: “Last night was a huge success and your soloists and the chorus were fabulous and of course Peter on the piano was brilliance itself! We have raised nearly £5000 which is a wonderful result.”
The charities that benefitted were The Norfolk & Norwich Association for the Blind and The Nancy Oldfield Trust.
What a good way to make use of a marquee!
This was a similar program to the Elveden program.
A three course meal with great Italian themed opera singing. The entertainment was a mix of songs from different Operas performed by Suffolk Opera.
Suffolk Opera’s performance of Offenbach’s La Belle Hélène at the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds was great fun and very successful
