Sometimes schools need cover that’s quick to deploy, easy to store, and eye-catching enough to stand out at busy events. Inflatable shelters tick every box. From sports presentations to open evenings, they provide instant, professional-looking space without the hassle of traditional poles or frames.

Everyday uses in schools

Sports day HQs and presentations
Set up a finish-line base, medal podium, or staff control point in minutes. Inflatable shelters are easy to move onto the field and create a focal point pupils and parents can spot instantly.

Open evenings and visitor events
Make a strong first impression by welcoming parents and guests under a branded inflatable. Its bold shape and clean design set the tone before they even step inside.

Activity hubs and clubs
Provide shelter for after-school activities, outdoor learning groups or enrichment clubs. Compact enough to store between uses, reliable enough to trust whenever needed.

Fairs and fundraisers
Turn the PTA raffle or refreshment stall into the main attraction. A school-branded inflatable makes it easy to stand out at crowded community events.

Why inflatable shelters work well for schools

  • Flexible use: works for sports days, fairs, open evenings or emergency cover.

  • Safe and sturdy: fire-retardant fabrics and anchoring kits keep pupils and staff protected.
