First Aid & Emergency Shelters: Gazebos, Marquees & Inflatables

When people need help fast, you can’t waste time on unreliable cover. Gala Tent shelters are trusted by medical teams, first responders, and event organisers across the UK for dependable, rapid-deployment protection. From small first aid points to large field units, our gazebos, marquees, and inflatable shelters are built to perform when it matters most.

Why These Products Work for First Aid & Medical Response

Medical teams and first aid providers need space that’s reliable, visible, and fast to assemble — and Gala Tent products tick every box.

  • Portable and lightweight, ideal for mobile operations and on-site response.

  • Professional presentation, ensuring the public can instantly identify where to get help.

  • Adaptable layouts, with optional sidewalls, internal partitions, and flooring for hygiene and privacy.

  • Strong but simple, allowing setup in minutes without specialist tools.

Every structure we design has the same goal — to help you focus on care, not construction.

Choosing the Right Shelter

Every operation is different, so we supply three proven solutions for first aid and medical use.

All can be branded with medical markings, fitted with lighting and flooring, or linked together to form larger field setups.

Key Considerations for First Aid Teams

  • Speed of setup – assemble in minutes to reduce response time.

  • Safety & stability – fire-rated materials, reinforced frames, and secure anchorage.

  • Cleanability – smooth, wipe-clean surfaces for hygienic use.

  • Visibility – first aid markings, bright colours, and custom signage.

  • Weather protection – fully waterproof, UV-resistant, and stable in wind.

  • Modularity – link multiple units or separate internal zones as needed.

These details make Gala Tent shelters a dependable asset for any emergency operation.
