Could someone help me with this please? If someone hires a marquee for a private function from my client, and it is sited on the hirer's private land, is it subject to the No-Smoking regulation? I think it should be as it is a commercial construction (enclosed with more than two sides) belonging to my client, in the same way that the hirer could not sit in the delivery vehicle and smoke. Thanks in advance

Is anybody at work in it? If so, it is non-smoking, if not then I guess it isn't a workplace in the meaning of the smoking regs,

If there are waiters, waitresses, a DJ etc then they will be at work - even if it a charity do with volunteers. Depending on the construction it may also increase the fire risk. I can't see it being a problem to enforce since it has been almost three years since smoking 'indoors' was allowed

If nobody is actually working and it's not open to the public then it would not be against the law to smoke. However, the hire company could make it a condition of the hire agreement that nobody may smoke within it if they so wish to do so (threatening to levy an expensive cleaning bill to rid it of the smell of smoke before it can be re-hired might work as well).
You could always put up cheap gazebo next to it to give the smokers somewhere to go as a compramise.
I smoke but wouldn't in these circumstances out of consideration for the other guests
