Party Tents for Festivals & Outdoor Events
When you need more space, comfort, or style than a pop-up gazebo can offer, Gala Tent party tents step up. Built to handle the energy and unpredictability of festival life, they give organisers, caterers, and sponsors the room to entertain, serve, and celebrate — all under dependable, fully waterproof cover.
Why Party Tents Belong at Festivals
Party tents bridge the gap between trader setups and full-scale marquees. They’re quick to assemble, strong enough for multi-day use, and flexible enough to suit anything from a backstage chill-out area to a public bar.
Across the UK, Gala Tent party tents are used by festival organisers, food vendors, charities, and production teams looking for reliable space without permanent infrastructure. Their modular layouts and heavy-duty covers make them a favourite for short-term hospitality and branded sponsor zones.
Popular Festival Uses
Bars & Catering Areas – Shelter for serving crowds all weekend long.
VIP & Hospitality Lounges – Comfortable, weather-safe zones for sponsors and guests.
Crew & Storage Bases – Practical cover for equipment, break areas, or prep zones.
Merchandise & Retail – Wider space for display tables and crowd flow.
Stage Wings & Artist Areas – Private, shaded, and secure behind the main event.
From grassroots community gigs to major national festivals, Gala Tent party tents create structure where it’s needed most.
Choosing the Right Festival Party Tent
Our Elite PE and PVC Party Tents are both designed for fast assembly and long life.
PE models are lightweight and cost-effective — perfect for smaller setups or occasional use.
PVC models offer thicker, fire-rated covers and zipped panels for all-weather protection.
If you need more flexibility, our Fusion Modular Marquee system can be added later to extend your footprint or reconfigure layouts as your festival setup grows.
Branding & Accessories
Party tents make brilliant canvases for festival identity. Add printed banners to match your brand or sponsor colours. Inside, use lighting, flooring, and heating to turn a functional space into a full-on experience.
Gala Tent accessories — from anchoring kits to Swisstrax flooring — ensure your tent performs day and night.
