Engineered Marquees & Gazebos Built for British Business

Introduction: Trusted Shelter Solutions Since 1999

When businesses across the UK think about reliable, heavy-duty shelters, there’s one name that consistently stands above the rest: Gala Tent. Since 1999, we’ve been leading the way in supplying commercial-grade marquees, gazebos, and portable structures that are as robust as they are versatile.

From humble beginnings to nationwide success, our growth has mirrored the needs of modern British industries—retailers, event organisers, emergency response teams, hospitality leaders, and e-commerce professionals all trust Gala Tent to deliver quality without compromise.

Why Gala Tent Stands Out in a Crowded Market

1. Great British Design Meets Technical Engineering

Every Gala Tent structure is the result of over two decades of continuous innovation. Designed in the UK and developed with commercial application in mind, our marquees and gazebos are built using high-tensile frames and waterproof, flame-retardant fabrics.

We’ve rigorously tested our materials against British weather conditions—from torrential downpours to wind speeds exceeding 30mph. Each product is manufactured with precision and can be deployed repeatedly without degradation, making it a long-term investment for your business.

Whether you operate a seasonal retail stall, oversee a construction site, or run large-scale public events, our structures offer the strength and flexibility required to perform.

2. Uncompromising Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality

In an era where cutting costs often results in cutting corners, Gala Tent offers something rare: affordability with integrity. Our commercial marquees and pop-up gazebos are competitively priced while still delivering top-tier engineering and customer service.

We achieve this by operating direct-to-customer, cutting out the middleman, and manufacturing at scale. This lean approach allows us to maintain fair pricing while investing in innovation, training, and customer experience.

The result? High-performance shelters that offer excellent ROI across industries such as motorsport, food and beverage, hospitality, security, and trade exhibitions.

3. Nationwide Delivery & Unrivalled Customer Support

We know that time is money in business. That’s why we offer next-working-day delivery on the majority of our stock. Whether you're in London, Leeds, or the Lake District, our logistics network ensures fast dispatch and reliable fulfilment.

What truly sets us apart, however, is our commitment to after-sales support. Our in-house team of specialists is on hand to advise you not only before your purchase but also throughout your ownership journey—whether you need setup guidance, replacement parts, or help choosing the right accessories.

Thousands of UK businesses rely on Gala Tent not just for products but for partnerships.

Proven Performance Across Industries

Gala Tent structures are more than just protective covers—they’re operational tools used by serious businesses to achieve strategic goals. Here's how our shelters are driving results in different sectors:

• Retail and E-commerce

Our pop-up gazebos provide an instant branded space at markets, fairs, and festivals. Fully customisable with logos, colour schemes, and accessories, they turn every public appearance into a sales opportunity.

• Construction and Outdoor Workspaces

For project managers and site directors, our heavy-duty work tents protect tools, workers, and sensitive equipment from the elements. With optional wall panels, weighted bases, and ventilation features, these shelters enhance on-site productivity year-round.

• Motorsport and Track Events

Motorsport teams across the UK use Gala Shade gazebos as pit bays, viewing shelters, and technical hubs. The Pro 60 model, in particular, is renowned for its thick aluminium frame and easy setup—perfect for rapid deployment during races.

• Emergency Services and Community Response

When every second counts, first responders rely on structures that are quick to erect and able to withstand unpredictable conditions. Gala Tent emergency shelters have been used by the NHS, local councils, and voluntary groups during disaster response and public health crises.

• Hospitality, Events, and Venues

Weddings, exhibitions, food festivals, and private functions all require adaptable shelter solutions. Our modular marquees can be configured to suit any venue layout, capacity, or theme and paired with flooring, lighting, and heating to deliver a premium guest experience.

With adjustable legs, reinforced joints, and weatherproof fabrics, your marquee or gazebo is designed to endure the rigours of both frequent use and the British climate.

We also provide full risk assessment guidance and product setup instructions to support your business in complying with health and safety obligations.
