I'd like a simple public address system - like 3 speakers would do (to be mounted on trees). It needs to be easily erectable and removable, maybe wireless but not essential. Any advice on where to even look and what to look for please?

Ours is a wheelable rechargeable thingy from Amazon - we paid about £170 for it I think. Use the Fetch link in the footer if you're shopping on Amazon
