don't forget the outdoor lighting....
Often a last-minute addition, lighting should really be one of the first elements to consider after securing your venue, catering and florist. It plays a huge role in setting the atmosphere and transforming a space once daylight fades. Frequently held in stunning locations — beautiful family homes, farms, fields and countryside venues. As evening falls, guests naturally look outwards, wanting to feel immersed in the surroundings.
-
Festoon or Fairy Lights
A guiding light route on shepherds’ hooks is an ideal way to illuminate pathways and gently guide guests around your event space. We also hold a large stock of overhead-height poles, allowing guests to meander beneath the lighting or create an glowing arc around the marquee forming a subtle boundary at night.
-
LED Lights
Your marquee or tipi may include all of the internal lighting but don't forget about the outside lighting hire for events too. Our floodlights create colour and interest on trees, bushes, walking routes or highlight important areas....like the bathrooms or venue exits.
-
LED Battery Uplighters
Perfect when you need flexibility, want to light areas further away from a power source, or fancy having a little freedom to play with the lighting yourself.
-
Set Up
While dry hire is available, the majority of our clients choose the full-service option, with Grizzly Bear Events handling the complete installation of all lighting. Before setting everything up, we usually lay out the lighting to the plan, ensuring that what we’ve discussed in advance is perfectly translated into the final installation.

Lighting can make all the difference to an outdoor event, transforming open spaces into warm, inviting atmospheres once the sun goes down. At Grizzly Bear Events we offer a wide range of outdoor lighting solutions designed to enhance both the look and functionality of your venue. From festoon and fairy lights that create a magical glow along walkways and around marquee perimeters, to powerful LED floodlights that highlight trees, buildings and key areas of your event, our lighting options bring your outdoor setting to life after dusk.
Our festoon lighting is one of our most popular outdoor choices — perfect for guiding guests around your site or creating ambience across open areas. Suspended from shepherd hooks or overhead poles, festoon lights cast a warm, welcoming glow that suits weddings, parties, festivals and corporate events alike. For a more subtle sparkle, our fairy lights are ideal along pathways and around feature elements, delivering beautiful visual impact without overpowering the space.
For events where night‑time visibility is important, our LED floodlights and battery uplighters offer both practical illumination and creative colour options. Floodlights are great for drawing attention to landscaping, signage or functional areas like toilets and exits, while uplighters can be placed against trees, structures or blank canvas spaces to inject colour and enhance atmosphere — all without relying on a nearby power supply.
We understand that outdoor lighting is not just decorative — it also helps guide guests safely around your venue after dark. That’s why we include installation as standard with our outdoor lighting hire, ensuring everything is professionally set up and positioned exactly where you need it, whether it’s festoon lighting across a field entrance or uplighters around a marquee edge.
Whether it’s parties, celebrations, school firework events, or corporate gatherings, we’ve created the perfect solutions to make every event shine.
Based in Sussex, between Cranleigh, Billingshurst and Horsham, we’re ideally placed to supply event hire equipment across the South East, including Surrey, Kent, and London.
Lighting is just the start — events need power, and we can provide that with our reliable generators. Guests love chilled drinks, which is where our fridge trailers come in, and in winter, our heaters keep everyone warm and comfortable. For a truly memorable entrance, why not make a statement with our 4m-high star?
