Summer is the season of outdoor events, and what better way to celebrate the warm weather than by hosting a fun, vibrant, and memorable festival-themed event? Whether you’re planning a garden gathering, a corporate event, or a public festival, the right products and creative touches can transform any space into a festival wonderland. As we step into summer 2025, new and exciting products are making their debut, bringing fresh possibilities for creating the perfect festival atmosphere.

Oil Drums, Bunting & Festoon Lights

Oil drums with poles are the perfect versatile addition to any outdoor festival setup. These oil drums can be used to hang bunting, festoon lighting, or other decorative elements to give your event an instant festival vibe. They also double up as poseur tables for guests to rest drinks on and pair great with our colourful tolix stools.

Arrange the drums in a tunnel formation to create a welcoming walkway leading guests into your event. Alternatively, arrange the oil drums in a permitter, and create an area for furniture clusters inside, offering guests a comfortable place to relax while still feeling the lively festival energy.

Tolix Stools & Pallet Bars

No festival is complete without a stylish bar area! Pallet bars are the perfect way to keep the relaxed aesthetic flowing while providing a practical and eye-catching serving station for drinks. Whether you’re offering summery cocktails, craft beers, or fresh juices, a pallet bar can be dressed up with signage, fairy lights, or even foliage.

Pairing your pallet bar with colourful Tolix stools is a great way to add personality and seating options to your event. These stools, known for their industrial design and durability, come in a variety of bold shades that will pop against the natural wood of the pallet bar. Place them around the bar area to create a buzzing social hub where guests can sip drinks and enjoy the festival ambiance.

Pallet Furniture & Bean Bags

Comfort is key when creating a festival-style event, and nothing says relaxed summer vibes like pallet furniture and oversized, colourful beanbags. Pallet seating is a staple at festivals due to its rustic, versatile design. Arrange pallet sofas and coffee tables in cosy clusters with soft cushions and throws to encourage guests to sit back and socialise. The beauty of pallet furniture is its adaptability—you can create anything from intimate lounge corners to larger seating areas for groups.

To inject even more fun and comfort into your setup, scatter large, colourful beanbags throughout the space. These add a playful touch and provide flexible, informal seating options. Guests can lounge, chat, or even stretch out under the sun in ultimate relaxation. Choosing beanbags in bright festival colours such as pinks, oranges, blues, and greens, helps enhance the lively and energetic vibe of your event.

LED Spheres & Festival Flags

Lighting and decoration play a huge role in setting the mood for your festival-inspired event. LED spheres are a fantastic way to add soft, glowing light to your space, especially as the sun begins to set. These futuristic orbs can be scattered across the lawn to create a magical atmosphere. Our LED spheres even have colour-changing features, allowing you to adjust the ambiance throughout the evening.

To enhance the festival aesthetic, festival flags are a must-have. These tall, fluttering flags instantly create a lively, dynamic atmosphere, bringing movement and energy to your venue. Position them at the entrance for a dramatic welcome, line them along pathways, or cluster them near key areas such as the stage, seating areas, or food stalls to give your event a true festival feel. 

Indoor Decor Elements

If you’re planning an indoor festival-themed event, you can still capture the festival magic with the right decor elements. Start by making a statement at the entrance with a wooden overhead sign, available for hire, to greet guests as they arrive. This sign can be dressed with lush Kentia palms, LED spheres, and a vibrant festival sign to set the tone for the event. The combination of rustic wood, greenery, and glowing lights creates an inviting festival vibe, even indoors.

For a show-stopping backdrop, a gold sequin wall is the perfect addition to your indoor festival decor. This shimmering feature creates an ideal photo opportunity, ensuring guests have a stunning backdrop for capturing memories. Whether placed behind a DJ booth, near the bar, or as part of a dedicated photo area, a gold sequin wall adds an element of glitz and glamour while still keeping with the festival theme. Pair it with neon signage or floral arrangements for an extra wow factor.

By combining all of these elements you can create a festival-themed summer event that feels both laid-back and exciting. For those hosting an indoor festival, incorporating unique decor like an overhead wooden entrance sign and a gold sequin wall ensures that the energy and aesthetic remain just as impactful.

Whether your event is indoors or outdoors, the key to a successful festival theme is layering textures, bold colours, and creative decor elements to make the space feel dynamic and immersive. With these ideas, your guests will be transported to a summer festival paradise, ready to dance, relax, and make unforgettable memories.
