Charity & Fundraising Gazebos, Marquees & Event Tents

Charities, community groups and fundraisers need cover that's affordable, quick to put up and easy for volunteers to handle. Pop-up gazebos do exactly that, which is why charity and fundraising gazebos are the workhorse of every fete, car boot, tombola and collection stall up and down the country. Alongside them, marquees and event tents cover the bigger occasions, from gala dinners to beer festivals and community fairs.

Gala Tent has supplied charity and fundraising kit to causes across the UK since 1999, built to stand up to repeated use and to give your cause a professional, organised presence wherever you set up.

Charity & Fundraising Gazebos

Pop-up gazebos are the first thing most charities buy, and for good reason. They go up in minutes with a couple of volunteers, pack down into a car boot, and give you instant shelter, shade and a branded base at any event. Whether it's a single 3m gazebo for a collection point or a row of them lining a fete, they're the most flexible, cost-effective kit a fundraiser can own.

Pop-Up Stalls & Fundraising Pitches

A gazebo turns any pitch into a proper stall — tombolas, raffles, bake sales, sign-up desks, collection points and merchandise stands. Add enclosed sides to secure stock overnight or keep the weather off your volunteers through a long day.

Branded Gazebos for Your Cause

A printed gazebo in your charity's colours and logo lifts every event from makeshift to professional, raises awareness while you fundraise, and helps the public find you in a busy field. It's a one-off cost that works at every event for years.

Fetes, Fairs & Community Events

For school fetes, summer fairs and community days, heavy-duty gazebos give dependable cover that handles repeated setups and the occasional British downpour. Secure them properly with weights and anchor kits, which are essential for safety and often required at public events.

Marquees for Charity & Community Events

When a gazebo isn't big enough — a gala dinner, a beer festival, a large community event — a commercial marquee gives you the covered space and the presence to match. They seat crowds, shelter stages and stalls, and turn an open field into a proper venue.

If you only need it for a single occasion, hiring a marquee can work out more sensible than buying, so it's worth weighing the cost against how often your group runs large events.

Event Tents for Charity

Beyond gazebos and marquees, we supply a wider range of event tents and shelters suited to charity and fundraising use — from compact pop-ups for a single stall to larger structures for whole-event cover. If you're not sure what fits your event, our team can point you to the right size and type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size gazebo is best for a charity stall or fete?
A 3m x 3m gazebo suits a single stall, collection point or sign-up desk. For a bigger presence or multiple volunteers, a 3m x 6m or a row of linked gazebos gives more covered space.
Can we add our charity's branding to a gazebo?
Yes. Full-colour printed canopies and sidewalls let you feature your logo, colours and message, so the gazebo doubles as a banner for your cause at every event.
Do you offer a charity discount?
Lions Clubs can claim a dedicated discount through our Lions Club page. If you're fundraising for another registered cause, get in touch and we'll talk through pricing for your organisation.
Are the gazebos quick to set up for volunteers?
Very. Two people can put up most pop-up gazebos in minutes with no tools, which makes them ideal for volunteer teams setting up on the morning of an event.
Are they waterproof and suitable for British weather?
Yes. Canopies are waterproof and UV-stable, and heavy-duty frames are built for repeated outdoor use. Anchoring them properly keeps them stable in wind.
