Marquees for First Aid & Emergency Medical Response

When response teams need room to work, Gala Tent marquees deliver the scale and stability that smaller shelters can’t. Built for larger treatment zones, medical screening, or temporary field hospitals, our heavy-duty marquees give first aid and medical staff the professional, weatherproof space they need to focus on what matters most — patient care.

Why Marquees Work for First Aid & Emergency Response

A marquee’s strength lies in its size and structure. Where gazebos cover single points of care, marquees create complete field facilities.

  • High capacity: Ideal for multi-patient areas, triage zones, or larger medical teams.

  • Bright, natural light: White PVC covers create a clean, well-lit workspace without glare.

  • Privacy-ready: Add partitions, internal walls, or linings to create discreet treatment spaces.

  • Durable and weatherproof: Certified fire-retardant PVC, with steel or aluminium framing for long-term reliability.

  • Stable in all conditions: Securely anchored with ground bars, straps, or ballast for consistent protection.

Many first aid providers use marquees as command hubs or long-term treatment bays — the kind of reliable base that feels like a small clinic, not a temporary fix.

Popular Uses for First Aid Marquees

Field Medical Centres
Set up a complete mobile treatment facility with multiple beds, clean zones, and secure storage for supplies.

Triage & Screening Areas
Use partition walls to separate treatment zones and streamline patient flow.

Emergency Command Posts
Stable and secure, with enough interior space for equipment, desks, and staff briefings.

Festival & Event Medical Bases
Provide large, visible first aid centres capable of handling multiple incidents simultaneously.

Temporary Welfare or Rehabilitation Units
Offer comfort, shade, and recovery areas for staff and volunteers after long operational hours.

Gala Tent marquees can scale up or down using modular bays, giving first aid teams the flexibility to build the exact setup their operation demands.

Choosing the Right Model

Select your first aid marquee based on duration, site, and the type of medical response:

PE Marquees
Lightweight and cost-effective, ideal for short-term use at events or temporary first aid posts.

PVC Marquees
Heavier-duty and suitable for repeat or long-term use — perfect for multi-day events or semi-permanent medical setups.

Fusion Modular Marquees
Industrial-grade modular systems that can expand indefinitely, creating full-scale field hospitals or operational command centres.

Each type offers full weather protection, easy wipe-down interiors, and flexible partitioning options.

Branding & Accessories

Visibility is critical in an emergency.
Gala Tent marquees can be printed with large first aid crosses, NHS branding, or directional signage for public clarity.

Accessories include:

  • Heating to maintain patient comfort.

Our technical team can help you specify lighting, power, and flooring setups for compliance and comfort.

FAQ

How long does it take to set up a medical marquee?
A small first aid marquee can be erected in around 30–45 minutes, while larger modular setups take longer but remain simple with clear assembly systems.

Can marquees be partitioned for privacy?
Yes. Many first aid teams use internal partitions to create separate bays for triage, treatment, or rest areas.

Are the covers suitable for medical environments?
Absolutely. Our white PVC covers are waterproof, fire-retardant, and easy to clean, offering bright light and excellent hygiene control.

Can marquees be heated or lit for overnight operation?
Yes. We supply compatible LED lighting, power routing, and heating systems for continuous operation day or night.

Are they available in custom sizes?
They are. The modular design means you can extend or reduce the footprint as needed — from small 3m x 4m units to large-scale medical stations.
