Sporting Hospitality: Why Marquees Are the MVP of Match Day

Russ Sizer • October 1, 2025

Sporting events aren’t just about what happens on the pitch—they’re about the whole experience. From pre-match build-up to post-game celebrations, creating the right atmosphere for fans, sponsors, and VIPs can make all the difference. That’s where marquees score big. At Zest Marquees, we know why marquees are the authentic MVP of match day hospitality.


🏟️ 1. Create a VIP Experience

Marquees provide the perfect setting for VIP lounges, sponsor hospitality, or exclusive fan zones. With bespoke layouts, you can design a premium space complete with comfortable seating, bars, and entertainment.


🌦 2. Weather-Proof Comfort

We all know the British weather is unpredictable. Marquees ensure your guests stay dry, warm, or cool—whatever the forecast—so the match-day experience is never spoiled by rain or wind.


🍴 3. Food & Drink Flexibility

Marquees are ideal for setting up catering stations, bars, or buffets. Whether it’s sit-down dining for sponsors or street-food style stalls for fans, you can design a setup that works for your event.


🎶 4. Entertainment Hub

Pre- and post-match entertainment is a big part of sporting culture. From live bands to big-screen replays, marquees give you the space to host entertainment that keeps energy levels high throughout the day.


⚽ 5. Branding Opportunities

Hospitality marquees can be fully branded to showcase team colours, sponsor logos, or event themes. It’s a great way to give partners visibility and make the space feel connected to the sporting action.


✅ Final Thought: On match day, marquees deliver the versatility, comfort, and wow factor that keep guests coming back. At Zest Marquees, we provide tailored marquee solutions for clubs, teams, and event organisers across Northamptonshire and beyond.
