Poulton Park Golf Club has applied to Warrington Borough Council seeking full planning permission for its existing marquee.

The tent has been sited at the club, on Dig Lane in Fearnhead, for 12 years, but further temporary permission is sought for a further six years.

The marquee has been used for events such as christenings, wedding receptions, anniversaries, and birthdays.

Planning documents state: “The marquee has been in its present location now for a number of years.

“There are several ways in which prospective users can access the marquee. Due to its reasonably close proximity to houses, prospective users can easily walk to the facility.

“Alternatively, prospective users who need to drive can use the golf club’s existing car park. The car park can accommodate up to 100 vehicles.

“Due to the limitation in the number of people the marquee can accommodate, there would never be the situation whereby people using the marquee would have to park their vehicle on Crab Lane, potentially causing an obstruction.”

The club’s website adds: “Celebrations and special events should have a glorious setting, and there is no better place than Poulton Park Golf Club.

“Whether it is a christening, wedding reception, anniversary, or birthday celebration, you can choose between a number of bespoke packages that will meet your requirements.

“From a small gathering to a larger celebration, you can be assured that you and your guests will be able to share your special day in our 90 square-metre heated and dressed marquee.

“We will look after every little detail to make your occasion is stress-free. Marquee hire is available from as little as £150. Let us make your special day one to remember.”
