Top 75 Event Theme Ideas:

1. Carnival ThemeWe love creating event themes around real events, and since this year we can’t travel easily, how about creating your favourite carnival in your backyard? Maybe a Caribbean Carnival Theme or a Rio Carnival Themed Event? Or perhaps nearer to home, a Notting Hill Carnival Theme? Use bright coloured bunting in the ceiling, large feather mask props and over the top entrances and installations to create the vibe! And don’t forget to book the steel drums band and carnival float!

2. Coachella Theme
You don’t need to feel the FOMO, grab your friends, and bring the party to you by hosting a Coachella-themed party to your garden. This festival is all about fashion, music and the arts so make sure that you set the BOHO themed dress code for your event with an epic playlist of the fave summer tracks. This arts and music festival should feature the compulsory larger-than-life sculptures to decorate your festival space – maybe over-sized butterflies, a Ferris wheel and flowers. Chill out on rugs and big cushions in tepees whilst sipping on colourful cocktails!

3. Music Festival Theme
Let’s face it whilst we’ve loved the virtual events, we are all missing the real thing. So why not grab your neighbours and friends and host your favourite Music Festival like a street Festival. Music Festivals are all about the best music, bands, Camping and beer, so why not set up beer tents, a music stage for a live band, set up tents on your front lawn. Decorate your garden or street with bunting and festoon lights, hire Pallet seating and Bean Bags to chill out on and drop in some bright festival props to transform the space.

4. Pop Art Theme
We’ve borrowed some inspiration from ‘Warhol’ to create this Pop Culture Theme that we love so much. There are so many great ideas to personalise this theme with Pop Art Style posters of attendees at the event, Bright Neon Colours, Silhouette Light Boxes dotted around the Room and even a bespoke dance floor to match the posters.

5. Summer Festival Theme
Let’s face it we all look forward to a summer festival every year to show off our hippy chick side! As we are all missing the real thing, why not invite neighbours and friends and host your favourite Summer Festival in your Bar or Pub. Summer Festivals are all about the best music, Fun, Glamping and Gin and Tonics, so why not set up a Vintage Gin Bar with flavoured Gins? How about a Pergola canopy with foliage as a chill out space? a music stage for a live band and lots of colourful bunting in your beer garden! Extra decorations can include festoon lights, Pallet seat hire and Outdoor Furniture Hire and drop in some bright festival Parasols and Props to transform the space.

6. Arabian Nights Theme
Arabian Nights Themed Parties allow you to host a mysterious and luxurious evening theme with fantastic décor options that work particularly well for Bedouin tents and marquees or outside. One of our favourite décor options is ceiling draping and low seating to create an intimate atmosphere. Use warm lighting to create an atmosphere and luxurious wall draping, street food carts and small shisha lounge area outside to finish the look!

7. 80’s Theme
The retro decade is a great era for a retro themed event, as it is connected to some of the most awesome pop, music, and fashion creations. 80’s theme events are just so much fun as we dance to our favourite soul music and practice those ‘Madonna Moves’. Slinky Ceiling Décor, Neon signage and Ghetto Blaster Boombox props transform spaces along with brightly coloured wall draping! Drop in some 80’s style posters and you’ve got one groovin’ party.

8. 90’s Theme
A 90’s theme so much fun and has grown in popularity as the generation as we see a comeback to some of our favourite shows such as Saved by The Bell and Friends. Guests dress up in their favourite characters for that extra authenticity. We can incorporate colourful 90’s decor such as paint Graffiti style backdrops, Iconic 90’s prop hire such as Giant Phones, CD’s, and Play Stations to create the atmosphere. Drop in that tribute boy band to create a night of nostalgia!

9. Real Life Super Heroes Theme
We think this will be a popular theme because of so many superheroes that have impacted our lives during Covid. NHS heroes, Amazon delivery heroes, Joe Wicks, Captain Tom More – we think these people have inspired us and the world – there could even be a superhero within your organisation. A theme based around looking at the superhero within us or a living super hero theme will be a real feel good theme for people to enjoy! You could also make things more interesting by asking attendees to create their own superheroes and have a prize for the best one.

10. Fictional Super Heroes Theme
Marvel’s movie adaptation, Superhero films and many popular comics and stories, have always resonated with the child or the adult in us. A Super Heroes theme never fails to disappoint with endless choices of colour schemes, characters to dress up as and spaces to decorate such as a kryptonite cave for a bar, a sci-fi tunnel to walk through and even podiums with super hero props filling the space. There are so many options to create this into an immersive event with a storyline that runs throughout the event!

11. Bubbles and Balloons Theme
Suppliers such as Bubble Gum Balloons have inspired balloons to balloon installations, organic balloon displays that can create entrances, ceiling décor and balloon table centres. Link this all with bubble entertainers, bubbly at drinks reception and even bubble shaped chill out spaces making this a stunning celebratory theme after lockdown!

12. Ibiza Chill Out Theme
Missing your holiday fun? Ibiza is the holiday for party goers, so why not create a club style event or Café Del Mar style Beach Theme in an outdoor space, to replicate your holiday theme?

Create a drive-in experience or cinema theme whilst social distancing. You could go to town with this theme with movie props dotted around, cinema ticket invitations and ushers selling popcorn. Darken the lighting in the space and a giant screen could be dressed like the old-fashioned movies. Include movie look-alikes and Hollywood look-alike entertainers to create an immersive space to enjoy your presentation!

15. Back to School Theme
We’ve all felt like kids during summer holidays during lockdown, so why not host a Back to School Event. Invite your attendees to dress up as school kids wearing old school uniforms and ties. Create a Tuck Shop for treats or drinks, create a school canteen style dining area. You could have the Stage backdrop as a graffiti wall. Everyone could self-distance on school desks and you could have digital graffiti walls for guests to leave their thoughts! Drinks Could be served from mini milk bottles and everyone will love the games that we set up in the playground as the bell rings!

Recreate the cities as ice palaces, go rustic with distressed décor like the north, or opulent like King’s Landing.

18. Black & White Theme
If you missed a prom or a summer ball this year, an absolute classic event that works for Roaring 20’s, Hollywood – anything goes with Black and White Themed Events. It’s a classic that everyone attending can associate with as most people own black tuxedo’s or dresses. Black goes with everything so you can mix it up using other colour themes; some favourites include black and red at Valentines or for Moulin Rouge, black and gold for Glam and Glitz or 20s, Gold and White for Masquerade or even all white for Ibiza Theme. You can’t go wrong with this combination!

19. Oktoberfest Theme

It looks like smaller events will return by Autumn. If you’re a pub chain, independent pub with a beer garden or a venue with an outdoor space, you could consider transporting guests to Munich in October with an Oktoberfest Themed Event!

Colour palettes are often blue, white, browns and greens. You could include cool chandeliers, ribbon ceiling canopies and living walls for this theme!

Who’s had a duvet day watching nostalgic films from their childhood this lockdown? Oz and The Emerald City with Dorothy and Friends is a classic that everyone turns to for a singsong and family viewing. Create the favourite film you’ve watched as a real life event for a party theme; The Emerald Palace, green up lighting, a forest tunnel that leads to a yellow brick road. We bring you characters from Oz to meet and greet guests or maybe they could do a virtual Wizard of Oz performance where everyone can have a sing song!

Splish Splash, our Mermaid bar and Underwater theme events are magical for those who miss exploring on their holidays.

The dress code could be animal print or safari guides! Guests could be greeted by animal stilt walkers, and then maybe African acrobatic troop could stun guests with their agility!

25. Petting Zoo Theme
Britain is all about UK farming and a day at the farm. We love this twist on a Great British Outdoors theme and the possibility of decor is endless here. Add rustic doors to the entrance of your farm that guests walk through. You can have barrels as poseur tables, hay bales for seating and green pastures where farm-yard props graze! This would suit indoor or outdoor events but don’t forget to hand out the wellies! Guests dress up as farmers and you could even bring the petting zoo to you for fun!

26. Mindful Health Theme
Here’s one that you can run virtually or as a live event even with smaller teams who return to work. A Healthy Body and Mind event theme that focuses on mindfulness, fitness, nutrition is great as there is so much evidence that this is correlated to productivity. You could create the outside inside with trees, grass and foliage as its proven that the outdoors is good for immunity. You could encourage attendees to attend in joggers or yoga wear and offer them bitesize workshops of things that they maynot have done before from high to low impact. You could offer a cooking class to help make better food selections by pointing out what food is good for different conditions. Smoothie or juice bars are popular and grazing stations with nuts, fruit and healthy snacks for throughout the day.

Guests could dress up with big hair, flared trousers and platform shoes to make it truly immersive.

28. Alice In Wonderland and Mad Hatter Theme
This is one of our favourites as you can hold it inside or outside and make it totally yours with higgledy piggeldy touches. The book and movie was so out there so there are plenty of ideas to influence you to create a quirky event. Décor could be a large table in the middle of a the garden with lots of vintage crockery, interesting Alice table centres, foliage and floral centrepieces, living walls with a cheshire cat prop. You could have the rabbit leading everyone into the party through our hobbit hole entrance or play croquet with the Queen of Hearts. We could have upside down furniture and Mad Hatter Props from the ceiling and entertainers could re-enact the story as a Alice Themed cabaret show to make it even more magical!

29. Midsummer Night’s Dream Theme
This is a magical theme for summer evening events and great as an outdoor or indoor event. This Shakespeare themed event can include influences from the play with Italian themed props, outdoor props but always with natural décor, artificial trees, pretty white flowers and lots of foliage décor. We love hanging birdcages centrepieces or twiggy blossom table centres the theme. We love the idea of alfresco dining, a Mediterranean dining experience with meat platters, fresh fruit and stunning displays of salads along with fresh summer cocktails!

30. Diamonds are Forever Theme
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and totally oozes gorgeousness. We love bling themed events with shiny and sparkly decor that works so well as a theme for summer balls or charity events. We love crystal centrepieces and sparkly table centres along with luxurious tablecloths. We love using mirror tables, mirror dancefloors, mirror bar and contemporary furniture hire to reflect against the lighting. The colour options are endless with this theme, from black and silver, to white and silver or navy and silver to maximise this luxury event theme.

31. Masquerade Theme
Venetian themed events always have an element of mystery as people dress up in masks and stunning ball gowns. A masquerade theme is great for events where you want guests to dress up in formal wear. A general favourite for charity events and corporate events where décor could include venetian painted backdrops, Italian décor such as busts and roman pillars, giant mask props, fountains and water features, as well as masquerade mask centrepieces.

32. James Bond/007 Theme
Who’s watched a 007 film during lockdown? Everyone knows the line ‘Bond, James Bond!’ and we just love action, romance and excitement of a Bond Themed Event! Most people connect a 007 theme with a black tie event, always highly styled including a few 007 look-a-like characters and cabaret show! Decor can range from feather plume centrepieces to crystal centrepieces something with bond themed backdrops and the obligatory casino hire! and don’t forget to serve the signature drink: a martini, shaken not stirred.

33. Medieval Banquet Theme
Knights jousting, long table banquets, sword fights and tight corseted entertainers all say one thing – a Knights Ball or a Medieval Themed Event. Since Game of Thrones, this theme has been popular and works well for a large buffet on long rustic wood tables and benches. Incorporate other décor such as shields, coat of arms and thrones to complete the look.

34. Hippy Theme
The summer of love only indicates one era – the 60’s! This groovy theme just makes everyone smile with tie dye costumes, peace sign props, flower power props, rainbow colour décor around camp-fires and on beaches! Include a VW camper van peep through or even a VW camper van street food cart to finish the look. We love this colourful theme and its ability to ignite the excitement in older guests as well as the young ones!

35. Downton Abbey in the Roaring 20’s Theme
Long summers and sophistication of the 20’s means that this is a popular theme for events for many. The era of flappers, prohibition, glamor and gangsters and vintage cars lends itself well for a dress up party. Choose a classic, black, white and claret color scheme with touches of gold and opulent table centres. It was the time of flappers so feather head-dresses and knee length fringe dresses would work well as fancy dress. And don’t forget plenty of spirits and martini glasses – it’s the era of prohibition where it’s all about the vintage theme bar! Use a champagne glass tower as a statement piece in the room, lots of chandeliers and tiffany lamp table centres and plenty of art deco props to finish the look!

36. Hollywood Theme
Lights, Camera, Action! This red carpet theme is all about the glitz and glamour of black tie and ball gowns.

For a classic Hollywood theme night, there are so many Film themed props to choose from clapper boards, movie cameras, movie reels and film posters and silhouettes of your favourite stars!

37. King of the Jungle Theme
A Jungle theme is becoming ever more popular as an option for a Green Theme or a Sustainable Theme. Our interpretation of it involves foliage, vines, plants, trees, exotic animals, water features and animal print plus a throne for the King or Queen! An alternative fun option is a Jungle Book theme with all the characters and songs that make this Disney Film so Classic! A great option for corporate events, an “I’m an guest, get me out of here!” where we can give them a set of activities in teams during the event like blind tasting or feeling what’s in the jar! You could also include, meet and greet entertainers dressed up as stilt walking animals!

Who doesn’t want to travel to somewhere far and exotic? A travel theme will be really popular throughout the year especially now there are restrictions on travel. The Around the World Theme allows you to create zones of the best places around the world from a Far East Themed area, to a Paris Themed zone, a New York Themed entrance, to Mediterranean Themed Dining area. You could choose a destination as the full theme of the event like ‘come away with me to Vegas’ and base your event on that. In which case, think about the iconic sights of the country. We like a globe-trotting theme as it allows us to mix and match everything about our favourite countries. You could include a Giant Earth Globe in the middle, or a Capital Cities quiz, perhaps a globe centrepiece and themed backdrops for different countries. Entertainment could be from dancers representing world nations, so you could limbo in the Caribbean zone, whilst bhangra to the latest Bollywood beats of India.

Serve drinks from an Aperol bar which is highly trendy right now. A barbecue themed event creates a really casual vibe whilst being great as a networking opportunity.

Everything is colourful with a Bollywood theme manages red, blues, pinks, purple and gold all work well in an Indian theme. Include mood lighting in these colours for added effect. We love including low seating, Indian rugs and colourful cushions in seating. Use Indian idol props and elephants statues as props, wall and ceiling draping work well to lower high ceilings. For entertainment, Dhol drummers, Bollywood dancers, henna artists work so well to create the theme. If its outside, why not get everyone to come in white and have a holi powder party!

56. Great Gatsby Theme
We’ve all missed wearing our posh frocks and partywear having spent months living in loungewear, so we think a Great Gatsby Party will be a very popular theme to hold anywhere. It’s always a popular theme idea for summer balls, gala dinners, weddings and black-tie events because of the endless possibilities for lavish décor in gold and black, glitz and glam props, stunning party entrances and extravagant table centres. However, a roaring 20’s theme or a Gatsby Party theme can be easily adapted to smaller events and lower budgets, by using a colour pallet of gold and black colour.

57. Space Theme
The launch of SpaceX means that we’re all loving the idea of going into space so how about an evening event with a space theme? Choose dark colour palettes, or even an outdoor event which will be complemented by twinkly lights and stars. For an indoor event, use black star cloth hire, you could hang large planets in the ceiling, and maybe the moon centrepieces with black tablecloths, with space being the main theme. If you’re thinking of entertainment, how about having a speaker such as Sir Tim Peak or what about walk about space characters?

58. Rainforest Theme Party

For outdoor events, we create an English Beer Garden with picnic tables, festoon lights, wooden bars, barrels as poseur table and even a pub sign that you can personalise to your event name.

63. Paint the Town NHS Blue Theme
This Post Lockdown Event is all about NHS blue as we pay tribute to one of the finest British Organisations, who have worked relentlessly to save us. Blue lit table centres, blue mood lighting, blue chair covers and blue tablecloths along with an 8’o’clock Clap for key workers. This party can only be an NHS party!

64. Moroccan Party Theme
Magical Marrakech, full of mystery, spices, and enchantment! As we miss our city breaks in the favourite cities around the world, we pay homage with an event dedicated in its name. A Moroccan Themed Event is full of colour, luxurious fabric draping, ceiling draping and Moroccan lantern chandeliers, Moroccan jug table centres and lantern table centres along with coloured glass complete the look. Add in souk-like food stations and spice stations to create the sensory experience of the Middle East. For entertainment, how about belly dancers, snake charmers and henna artists to charm guests all night!

65. Oriental Garden Theme
This Shanghai Themed Event uses traditional colour palettes of red, gold, and black to honour the classical Oriental Garden. Integrate Trees, Bamboo, Wood to create organic structures and features around the room to create a zen garden for a drink’s reception or a sophisticated gathering. We love the idea of oriental music playing in this Buddha Garden to make the experience truly authentic!

66. St. Tropez Party Theme
Who’s missing their summer holidays? This St Tropez Themed Event is uber chic with its tiki style bars, petanque games areas and stunning pergola to allow guests to eat like they’re in the med or the South of France. Use long rustic tables and vintage benches with candles and lights. Hanging flowers, foliage and palm trees can be used to dress ceilings and spaces to create a truly unforgettable French Riviera Themed Event.

67. Japanese Blossom Garden Theme
The Japanese celebrate the Hanami festival every year to signify the start of spring. But we all missed spring, so let’s just recreate the festival again! The décor is just magical for this theme; Cherry Blossom Ceiling Décor, Blossom Archways and tunnels, Japanese Cherry Blossom Tree Hire, Blossom Theme Table Centres, Pergola’s dressed in cherry blossom and cherry blossom hedges and living walls all finish the Japanese Themed Event!

68. Rainbow Theme
Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Life has been about rainbows during lockdown, so we recreate a multi-coloured sensation from a rainbow themed balloon archway, ceiling draping in rainbow colours, multi coloured chair covers and rainbow coloured tablecloths. Guests can be asked to wear different colours of the rainbow to make the event pop!

69. Pyjama Party Theme
We’ve all spent almost 4 months in lockdown in our pyjamas with no one to show our loungewear to, so how about an adults slumber event with teepees, lots of cushions and lots of pampering. We can organise nail artists and massage therapists to provide ultimate relaxation after which we can watch your favourite chick flick on the big screen!

70. Street Food Festival Theme
Who doesn’t love a festival especially if its about food? We’ve all been obsessed with eating, take-outs and cooking during lockdown and who doesn’t enjoy some artisan street food whilst listening to your favourite tunes. Décor can include festoon lights, picnic tables, bunting and funky food stalls to create an urban street theme. Graffiti bars and colourful oil drum poseur tables finish the look and make this one of the most exciting themes for outdoor spaces or buffet dining options.

71. Circus Party Theme
Roll Up Roll Up, the Circus is in town. Everyone has missed their favourite acrobats, jugglers, and clowns in the last few months. How about creating a space that replicates the big top with a circus ceiling draping, festoon lighting and lots of circus props to create a truly theatrical look. We have painted circus posters, a Tiger’s cage, circus podiums and circular dance floor for acts!

.72. Seaside Theme
‘Oh, I do love to be beside the seaside! What an old English classic and its so true, as soon as the weather gets better, we love going to the Beach for our dose of the British Seaside! Striped Deck Chair Hire, Ice Cream Vans, 99 Flake Props, Beach Hut Props, Sand, Sandcastles and other British Seaside Props makes this theme so endearing to us. The finishing touches must be Fish and Chips served in newspaper or cones!

73. Mediterranean Theme
Don’t we miss our Spanish villa holidays this year! We can recreate your favourite holiday theme or a Spanish Holiday Theme to transport you to where you want to be. Traditional market squares as food halls, pergolas with vines and bougainvillea’s, stunning fountains and stone seating for market squares and rustic villa fronts with cute balconies and hanging plants finish the look!

74. Murder Mystery Theme
If there’s one thing that we have enjoyed is experiential events during lockdown and a good old Netflix series. Re-enact your favourite series or host a classic who-did-it? Murder Mystery Night with characters, scenes out of the story in 3D and even a story board to allow people to keep up with the plot. Hold it outside for a truly immersive theme that makes people feel goose bumps as they walk around looking for clues!

75. Paris – City of Love Theme
It’s the ultimate city of romance and we are all missing city breaks for that holiday fix. A Paris theme is popular throughout the year as it has so many historic landmarks which you can replicate with Paris Themed Props! Create a traditional French bistro in your venue with lots of rustic style furniture and signage. It’s a great theme for valentine’s or love themed event or opt for a sophisticated Paris theme. Use black and red for the stage to replicate a stage for the Moulin Rouge and host a cabaret show as entertainment.

There are so many options for your post lockdown party. You’ve got a few weeks to think of them and plan the ultimate event and we are here to create the most magical bespoke event for you.
