We've supplied tent and marquee hire to some of the largest festivals and shows in the UK, such as Download, RHS Wisley Flower Show, Hay Festival and many more. 

Our flexible solutions for shows and festivals can be supplied as a range of individual units, suitable as retail trade stands, catering stands or ticketing and information areas. The configuration of these stand units also offers you, the event organiser, total freedom to use them as your event dictates.

Festival marquee hire

Whether you need a single large structure, multiple smaller tents or soft-sided pagodas to house your show or festival, GL events UK is equipped to handle all your festival marquee requirements. 

  • A traditional pole marquee provides your event with a unique style and atmosphere, with ample space for display tables, livestock or exhibits, making them extremely popular for agricultural and flower shows.
  • Experienced in-house teams can fit out the interior of your festival marquees with whatever you require – be it furniture, lighting, climate control, power or even audio-visual elements.
  • Create a bespoke experience for your guests with a variety of roof linings, including black-out linings and star cloths.
