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.

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.
