Charity Event Success: Hosting Fundraisers in a Marquee

Russ Sizer • September 19, 2025

Organising a charity event is all about raising awareness, generating support, and creating an atmosphere where people feel inspired to give. Choosing the right venue is crucial—and that’s where marquees shine. At Zest Marquees, we’ve helped countless charities and community groups turn their events into success stories. Here’s why a marquee is the perfect choice for your next fundraiser.


🎪 1. Flexibility for Any Event Type

From black-tie gala dinners to casual family fun days, marquees adapt to the scale and style of your event. You’re not tied to the restrictions of a fixed venue, giving you freedom to create an event that suits your cause and your audience.


🌍 2. Unique Locations = More Buzz

Marquees can be set up in fields, car parks, community grounds, or even at a sponsor’s venue. This flexibility not only reduces costs but also makes your event more memorable, helping you stand out and attract supporters.


💡 3. Custom Branding Opportunities

Unlike hotels or halls, marquees provide a blank canvas. Add banners, coloured lighting, custom staging, or branded backdrops to showcase your charity’s identity and make a lasting impression.


🍽️ 4. Fundraiser-Friendly Layouts

Need a stage for a charity auction? A dance floor for a ticketed ball? A quiet lounge for networking? Marquees can be divided into sections to suit multiple purposes in one space.


🎤 5. Space for Entertainment

Whether it’s live music, a guest speaker, or a raffle draw, marquees give you the space and flexibility to keep guests engaged and entertained throughout the event.


Final Thought: A marquee doesn’t just provide shelter—it sets the stage for a successful fundraiser. At Zest Marquees, we’ll work with you to plan a setup that inspires generosity and leaves your guests talking long after the night ends.
