Elevate your winter events with Mar-Key’s temporary event structures
Seasonal events are a wonderful way to create memorable experiences and celebrate special times of the year. Planning and organising these events can be challenging, especially when it comes to setting up the right infrastructure. That’s where temporary event structures from Mar-Key make all the difference. We provide versatile and innovative solutions to ensure your winter events and other seasonal events are truly exceptional.
Planning Your Winter Event
Set Clear Goals
Define the purpose of your winter event. Are you creating a festive temporary ice rink, hosting a company Christmas party, or organising a gathering? Knowing your goals will help you choose the right temporary event structures. For an ice rink, you’ll need a structure that supports the rink and amenities like food stalls. For a Christmas party, consider temporary venues that offer a cosy, festive atmosphere. Clear goals will guide your decisions, ensuring a successful winter event.
Decide on the Size and Scope
Consider how many people you expect to attend and the overall scale of your event. This will help you choose the right size and layout for your temporary venue, whether it’s for an intimate gathering or a large crowd.
Pick the Perfect Location
Select a location that fits your event’s theme and meets your logistical needs. Think about accessibility, parking, and nearby amenities. It’s important to check if your site needs planning permission, which can be tricky. Generally, permission is required if your structure will be in place for more than 28 days, is larger than 200m², is within 5 metres of the site boundary, or covers more than 25% of the site area.
To make this easier, Mar-Key Group works with trusted planning consultants and can refer you to experts who will help ensure everything is in order for your outdoor event.
Set a Budget
Establish a realistic budget for your winter event, including the cost of temporary event structures, permits, rentals, and other expenses. This will help you make smart decisions about what features and amenities to include in your temporary venue.
Choosing the Right Temporary Event Structures
Match the Structure to Your Event
Different events require different setups. For Christmas market venues, consider structures that accommodate multiple stalls and foot traffic. If you’re planning a temporary ice rink, opt for durable and weather-resistant structures that provide a magical skating experience. Mar-Key offers a wide range of options tailored to various seasonal events. Different events require different setups.

Select the Appropriate Size and Layout
Ensure your chosen temporary event structure comfortably fits all guests and activities. Consider space for dining areas, entertainment stages, and relaxation zones. Proper sizing enhances the flow of both outdoor events and indoor celebrations.
Prepare for Winter Weather Conditions
Winter weather can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to choose structures designed to withstand cold temperatures, rain, and snow. Our temporary venues can be equipped with heating systems, insulated walls, and robust roofing to keep your winter event comfortable and secure, regardless of the weather.
Prioritise Guest Comfort and Safety
Safety is paramount for any event.
