Festival-Inspired Events: Bring the Outdoor Party Vibe to Life
There’s nothing quite like the energy and freedom of a summer festival – great music, good food, and unforgettable memories with friends. Now imagine capturing that same atmosphere at your own event. Whether it’s a birthday, corporate celebration, or wedding, a festival-inspired marquee party brings people together in the most vibrant way possible.
At Zest Marquees, we’ve helped clients across Northamptonshire and beyond turn open spaces into unforgettable festival-style venues. Here’s how to create that laid-back, feel-good vibe.
🌈 1. The Setting: Open-Air Meets Comfort
A marquee gives you the best of both worlds — open-air freshness with shelter from unpredictable British weather. Choose stretch tents or open-sided marquees to keep the breeze flowing while providing shade and protection. Add a few chill-out zones outside with deckchairs, beanbags, or hay bales for that authentic festival vibe.
🎶 2. Music Makes the Mood
No festival is complete without a soundtrack! Consider hiring a live acoustic band, a DJ booth, or even setting up a mini stage for performances. With a marquee, you can control sound levels, lighting, and layout, so the music feels immersive but comfortable for all guests.
🍔 3. Food & Drink: Street-Style Dining
Forget formal sit-down meals — festival events are all about casual, tasty options. Think food trucks, BBQ stations, wood-fired pizzas, or grazing tables loaded with nibbles. Add a drinks tent or cocktail bar for instant festival flair.
💡 4. Creative Décor Ideas
Set the scene with décor that’s colourful, bold, and fun:
- Bunting, fairy lights & lanterns for atmosphere
- Boho furniture, like rattan chairs and rustic tables
- Flower crowns & photo walls for Insta-worthy moments
- Neon signs or LED letters to light up the night
🏕️ 5. Keep Guests Comfortable
Festivals are meant to be relaxed — so make sure your guests are comfortable all day (and night). Add:
- Flooring to avoid muddy feet
- Portable toilets for convenience
- Outdoor heaters or fire pits for evening warmth
