Owen Brown temporary event venues
When you hire a temporary venue from GL events, you benefit from more than a century of event hire expertise and a pedigree of event supply excellence that’s second to none. At GL events Owen Brown, we’re incredibly proud of our heritage.

GL events Owen Brown’s heritage
These days, the Owen Brown name is an integral part of the powerful, international and diverse GL events brand. We’ve joined forces with marquee, tiered seating, event overlay and total event production and delivery specialists throughout the UK and around the world. Now known as GL events UK, we’ve come a long way but we’re proud of our brand’s history of success, and glad to be located at the GL events UK headquarters, just 20 miles from the textile-producing town and farmers market where the Owen Brown story began back in 1913.
Owen Brown started out as a cord-maker and supplier of tarpaulins. With his origins in cloth and ropes, it’s little surprise that our entrepreneurial founder developed his trade and became famous for supplying Owen Brown marquees. The Owen Brown success story hasn’t stopped. Today, we partner with organisations located around the globe, enabling the production of a fantastic range of premium events. We’re the go-to partner for clients looking to hire temporary event venues – and have been for many decades.
