Summer Event Trends 2025 – What’s Hot in Ireland This Season

Planning a summer event in Ireland in 2025? Whether you're a local organiser or an international brand bringing your event to Irish shores, this year’s trends are all about experiential spaces, premium outdoor setups, and sustainable sophistication. At HireAll, we’re seeing clear patterns in what event professionals are asking for — and we’ve got the hire solutions to match.

1. Outdoor Events are Bigger (and Smarter) Than Ever
Irish summer weather is increasingly accommodating outdoor events, and in 2025, we're seeing an uptake in al fresco corporate events, brand activations, and consumer festivals. Picture beautifully curated garden parties, rooftop receptions, and coastal brand pop-ups.

Hire this trend: 

• Outdoor furniture is being treated to the luxury treatment: our rattan lounge sets, contemporary bistro tables, and sun-shaded parasols are perfect for comfort and style.
• Add patio heaters for a late-night warmth.
• BBQ stands and foodservice counters are perfect for casual dining arrangements with professional presentation.

    

2. Irish Backdrops and Euro-Elegance
Destination events are going strong, with clients across the globe choosing Ireland for product launches, incentive travel, and milestone celebrations. There's a move toward sophisticated, Euro-styled design with a modern Irish twist.

Hire this trend:

• Opt for clean-lined banqueting chairs, trendy LED bars, and glassware that adds sparkle to any tablescape.
• Back iconic views with sophisticated marquees or tented lounges with sophisticated staging and floor systems.
• Create Instagrammable moments with custom furniture spaces and custom lighting.

 

3. Sustainability with Style

Event organisers are increasingly prioritising sustainability — and at HireAll, we’re helping them do it without compromising on style or experience. Hiring your event furniture, catering equipment, and tableware is a smarter, greener choice. Why? Because everything you rent from us is reused, maintained, and kept in circulation — reducing waste and eliminating the need for single-use items.

Hire this trend: 

• Ditch disposables by choosing high-quality, reusable catering equipment and tableware, professionally cleaned and reused event after event.
• Go low-energy with LED lighting and efficient event infrastructure that reduces your event’s environmental impact.
• Think circular: Our modular, durable furniture is designed to be reused across multiple zones and layouts, reducing both waste and unnecessary purchases.

By choosing HireAll, you’re not just creating a stylish event — you’re contributing to a more sustainable events industry in Ireland.

 

4. Multi-Zone Experiences
By 2025, effective events are designed like a mini-festival — with diverse experiences for patrons to uncover. Quiet lounges, networking areas, food courts, and presentation spaces all in the one location spring to mind.

Hire this trend:

• Use our crowd management systems, bars, and staging accessories hire to plan your design.
• Mix seating formats: cocktail tables, structured dining settings, and low lounge sectionals to provide varied environments.
• Add BBQs and food stations to nudge individuals into official food and drink areas.

 

5. Tech-Embedded Touchpoints

From check-in kiosks to live streaming and hybrid panels, technology continues to shape the guest experience in 2025. While HireAll doesn’t supply AV or technical equipment, we provide the physical infrastructure to support these setups — helping organisers create seamless, professional environments for any tech-enabled event.

Hire this trend: 

• Use our lecterns, podiums, and furniture to complement speaker setups and panel discussions.
• Create clean, branded zones for registration desks, digital check-in stations, or interactive displays.
• Hire bar units, poseur tables, and soft seating to frame tech touchpoints with comfort and style — ensuring functionality doesn’t mean sacrificing design.

Tech might be driving the experience — but HireAll provides the structure and style to support it.
