So what do you want heralds to do?  I can think of these things:
- teach classes.
- do field heraldry and court heraldry, but that's not a "circle".
- have a decision meeting on submissions for the month.
- have a consultation table.

(The usual terminology: orders, like the Laurels and Chivalry and
Pelicans and Centurions and ..., have "circles".  Heralds have "a
consult table" or "a meeting of the College of Heralds" or "a
collegium" or whatnot.)

When heralds do it in a circle, we scorn privacy.  Seriously, not only
do none of the activities above require privacy, we invite anyone to
any of them, including the decision meeting.  A pavillion or tent
without sides might be nice for shade purposes, I suppose, but you
said it was an April event, no?  so that's not quite as important as,
say, August.  Sides for a tent might be useful for a consult table, to
help keep papers from blowing away.
