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:
LED lighting kits for 24-hour operation.
Flooring systems for stable, hygienic footing.
Heating to maintain patient comfort.
Anchorage weights and safety kits for total stability in high winds.
Our technical team can help you specify lighting, power, and flooring setups for compliance and comfort.
