Deckchair

Deckchair for relaxed, stylish outdoor event seating

When it comes to adding charm, colour, and comfort to outdoor spaces at major live events, few seating options are more instantly recognisable — or more welcoming — than the deckchair. With its classic design and festival-ready aesthetic, the deckchair is a popular choice among event professionals looking to offer casual seating that still delivers on atmosphere and style.

Featuring a traditional folding beech frame and a striped canvas sling, this timeless piece of furniture invites guests to relax, unwind, and take in the moment. Whether you’re creating a laid-back vibe at a sports hospitality terrace or designing a retro-chic zone within a large music festival, the deckchair is a wonderfully versatile option that balances form with function.

Its folding nature makes it incredibly easy to position, transport and store — perfect for fast-moving site setups and event crews working across multiple zones. And with a variety of canvas colours available, it’s easy to introduce a pop of vibrancy into your outdoor layouts, no matter the setting.

Functional event furniture with heritage charm

The deckchair remains one of the most enduring icons of British outdoor leisure — and it’s not just for the beach. At today’s events, deckchairs have evolved into a staple for VIP festival areas, sports event chill-out zones, and even premium backstage lounges. Their simplicity, comfort, and fold-flat functionality make them a go-to solution when informal but presentable seating is needed.

Each chair is made from durable beech hardwood, chosen for both strength and aesthetic appeal. The slatted frame supports a durable, high-quality striped canvas sling, angled perfectly to encourage relaxation while guests take a break from the action.

Thanks to the lightweight nature of the wooden frame and the absence of complex moving parts, these chairs are quick to reposition throughout the day — ideal for pop-up lounges, alfresco viewing zones or speaker areas at open-air sporting events.

And while the colour of the canvas is subject to availability, we offer a cheerful selection of striped patterns that can add visual impact to any scene. Simply let us know your preference when you place your order — and we’ll do our best to meet it!

A seating solution perfect for festivals and sport

From performing artist green rooms to sports hospitality lounges, the deckchair fits beautifully into a wide range of event environments. Use them to create flexible seating clusters, line them up around grassed areas for stage viewing, or dot them throughout sponsor activation zones to provide guests with a casual resting spot.

At large scale sporting occasions, deckchairs can be set up on elevated viewing terraces or in open-sided pavilions, giving attendees a place to relax without losing sight of the main event. At music and festival hospitality zones, they add colour, nostalgia and that all-important Instagrammable moment.

Their design allows airflow and natural body support, making them surprisingly comfortable despite their minimal build. And because they fold to flat, they’re ideal for transport in volume and can be deployed in large numbers quickly — perfect for short turnaround times or large guest counts.
