Marquees for Charity Events & Fundraisers

When your cause deserves more than a pop-up stall, a Gala Tent marquee gives your charity the presence, protection, and professionalism to make every event a success. From gala dinners and open-air concerts to community fairs and awareness days, our commercial-grade marquees help charities bring people together, whatever the weather.

Why Marquees Work for Charities

Charity work is built around connection — and the right marquee gives you a welcoming, functional space for it. Whether it’s hosting guests at a fundraising dinner, offering shelter for volunteers during an all-day challenge, or creating a base for ticketing and refreshments, a Gala Tent marquee helps you do it all in one place.

Marquees aren’t just larger shelters; they’re adaptable structures you can scale up or down to match your ambitions. They can house dining tables, stages, merchandise stalls or entire exhibitions — and with modular designs like the Fusion Marquee range, you can extend your setup year after year as your events grow.

Popular Charity Uses

• Fundraising Galas & Auctions – Create a fully enclosed, decorated space that feels professional yet personal.

• Community Fairs & Fun Days – Offer weatherproof cover for food stalls, raffles, and entertainment.

• Awareness Campaigns – Give visitors room to interact, learn, and engage with your cause.

• Sheltered Registration Points – For charity walks, marathons, or cycling events where hundreds pass through.

• Volunteer Bases – A central hub for equipment, refreshments, and rest throughout the day.

Choosing the Right Charity Marquee

The best charity marquee depends on where and how often you’ll use it.

• For occasional events or smaller fundraisers, our PE marquees offer reliable weather protection at a low cost.

• If you host regular or large-scale events, the Elite PVC Marquee range delivers long-term durability and a premium finish.

• For growing charities that want flexibility, our Fusion Modular Marquee system allows you to expand or reshape your layout to suit each event.

All our marquees come with full spares support, clear assembly instructions, and optional anchorage and flooring systems for extra safety and comfort.

Branding & Accessories

Charity events thrive on visibility. We can add printed banners to your marquee order to help your message stand out. Inside, accessories like lighting, heating, and flooring create a comfortable atmosphere that encourages guests to stay longer and engage with your cause.

If your charity operates year-round, consider adding swisstrax modular flooring or heating solutions to make your marquee more versatile across the seasons.
