Marquees for Sporting Events FAQs

The cost of a sporting event marquee depends on its size, location, and the facilities required. Smaller hospitality tents or registration marquees may start from around £500, while larger structures with flooring, viewing areas, or catering setups can range upwards of £3,000–£5,000.

We’ll provide a tailored, no-obligation quote based on your event requirements, duration, and site conditions.

The size of a marquee for a sporting event depends on the type of event and expected attendance. For example:

  • Registration and first-aid tents: typically 6m x 6m or 9m x 9m
  • Spectator hospitality marquees: 12m to 15m clearspan structures
  • Award ceremony or sponsor areas: large open-plan layouts with staging and catering zones

Our team will carry out a free site visit to recommend the best sporting marquee size and layout for your venue.

For local football tournaments, we recommend a 9m to 12m clearspan marquee for team registration, refreshments, and presentations, which can comfortably accommodate 100–300 people.

For multi-pitch or county events, larger hospitality or exhibition marquees (12m-15m structures) can accommodate VIPs, catering, and sponsor displays.
