Create More Space, Boost Profits, and Extend Your Season with a Gala Tent Marquee
If you run a pub or hospitality venue with outdoor space, a marquee might be the smartest investment you make this year.
Whether you're looking to create an all-weather beer garden, expand your footprint for summer festivals, or host private functions like birthdays and weddings, a commercial-grade marquee turns unused space into a money-making asset.
At Gala Tent, we supply robust, professional pub marquees to landlords and venue owners across the UK — from rural beer gardens and bustling city terraces to sports clubs and event venues.
With fast delivery, easy setup, and modular options available, your marquee can be up and earning in days.
Why Pubs Use Marquees
A well-positioned marquee can transform how your venue operates.
Serve more customers in the garden, whatever the weather
Host ticketed events like live music, beer festivals, or quizzes
Offer private hire options for celebrations and gatherings
Extend your trading season through autumn and winter
Create smoking shelters or covered dining areas
Add flexibility for pop-up bars, street food partners, or corporate bookings
With the right marquee, your pub becomes more than a place to drink — it becomes a place to experience.
Which Marquee is Right for Your Pub?
We offer several options depending on your needs, footfall, and budget:
PVC Marquees – Built to Last
Our Elite PVC marquees are made for high-traffic environments.
The covers are thick, durable, and fully wipe-clean, making them ideal for pubs and bars where drinks may spill and surfaces need daily attention. The frames are heavy-duty galvanised steel for long-term strength.
Perfect for:
Winter beer garden extensions
Covered seating in wet weather
Private function space
Available in a range of sizes — from intimate 3m x 2m spaces to 6m x 12m event-ready giants.
Fusion Modular Marquees – Flexible, Industrial Strength
Need something bigger, or something that can grow with your venue?
The Fusion Marquee system is a semi-permanent, industrial-grade structure with aluminium framework and a fully modular design. You can add or remove bays, change layout as your requirements shift, and install it long-term with optional flooring, lining, and heating.
Ideal for:
Large pubs with high footfall
Event venues or wedding-focused pubs
Landlords wanting future-proofed shelter options
Fusion marquees are wind-tested, engineered to last, and deliver a premium finish to match your venue branding.
PE Marquees – Budget-Friendly Options
If you're starting out or working with tight margins, our Original PE marquees offer a cost-effective way to cover outdoor space. They’re lighter in weight and simpler to install, but still built with commercial-grade components.
A great starter option for:
Smaller pubs
Temporary cover for seasonal events
Budget-conscious community venues
What Events Can You Host with a Pub Marquee?
The beauty of a marquee is that it unlocks revenue potential year-round. With one installed, you could host:
Live music nights and local acoustic sessions
Craft beer festivals and tap takeovers
Private parties like milestone birthdays or engagement do’s
Pub quiz finals or community competitions
Casual weddings or receptions (See our wedding marquees)
Christmas markets and New Year’s Eve events
Pop-up food events and street food collabs
Whatever the season, your marquee creates a weatherproof, welcoming space for guests — and a profit centre for your business.
