Hire bean bags for festivals, outdoor events, student spaces and branded chill-out zones. Indoor, outdoor and giant bean bags available.
Bean bags give guests a fast, informal place to sit without building a full lounge set. Expo Hire hires large indoor bean bags, outdoor bean bags and giant beanbags in event colours for festivals, garden parties, student events, freshers fairs, family days and branded chill-out zones.

You should place bean bags where guests pause, not where they pass through. They work best in chill-out zones, photo corners, student commons, family areas and terrace edges where people sit in short groups. A giant beanbag can anchor a social corner or gaming area, while standard bean bags let you build a looser cluster that guests can move around during the day. Because the seating sits low, keep the bean bag zone away from formal dining space and away from narrow service routes.
Colour choice matters on these items because the seat itself becomes the visual feature. Student unions and freshers teams often match the bean bag colour to the event palette. Festival organisers use mixed colour groups to mark a relaxed public zone. Brand activations often use one hero colour for the social media set and another for the wider lounge. Outdoor bean bags suit lawns, courtyards and covered terrace spaces where traditional lounge furniture would feel too rigid.
You should still think about weather and surface. On open outdoor sites, use the outdoor bean bag range and choose a surface that stays clear of standing water. If the forecast looks mixed, keep a wet-weather fallback inside a marquee or hall so the zone can move indoors without losing the seating idea. If the event needs games nearby, pair the layout with Garden Games Hire.
Festivals use bean bags in VIP enclosures, family fields and sponsor chill-out zones because the seating feels informal and simple to enter. Universities use them in freshers fairs, revision zones and student social spaces. Wedding planners sometimes add a small bean bag corner to an outdoor family area so children and younger guests have their own soft seating near the lawn games or dessert station.
If the event needs a more formal lounge nearby, add sofas from Sofa Hire. If you want lighting after dark, add cubes or tables from LED Furniture Hire to define the edge of the chill-out area.
