With the World Cup on the horizon, the Winter Olympics and Six Nations rugby drawing huge crowds, and a packed calendar of major sporting events ahead, this year is set to be one of the biggest for hospitality. For pubs, bars, hotels and venues showing live sport, increased footfall means one thing: your furniture needs to work harder than ever.
If you’re searching for commercial furniture for your hotel, pub or bar, now is the ideal time to review your seating, layouts and outdoor spaces to ensure your venue is ready for a high-energy summer of sport.
Why a Big Sporting Year Matters for Hospitality Furniture
Major sporting tournaments like the World Cup bring longer dwell times, larger groups and busier service periods. Guests arrive early, stay for multiple matches and expect comfort as well as atmosphere.
The right hospitality furniture helps venues:
- Maximise capacity without overcrowding
- Keep guests comfortable for extended stays
- Maintain efficient flow for staff during peak times
- Withstand high-volume, high-energy use
Investing in well-designed commercial furniture supports both guest experience and operational performance during busy sporting seasons.
Why not try Stackable Chairs? They’re great for storing away once the big sporting events are over, but great for the increase of customers you’ll see coming in.

Seating Solutions for Sports-Led Venues
During a World Cup summer, seating becomes one of the most important elements of your venue. Chairs, stools and banquettes need to balance comfort with durability, especially when matches run back-to-back.
When choosing seating for a pub, bar or hotel, look for:
- Commercial-grade chairs and stools built for heavy use
- Comfort-focused designs that encourage guests to stay longer
- Easy-clean finishes suitable for busy match days
JB Commercial Furniture supplies a wide range of seating solutions designed specifically for hospitality environments, making them ideal for venues expecting increased traffic during major sporting events.
Why not look at stools to add to your area? These stools also have added extras, why not include a back or seat for extra comfort?

Outdoor Furniture for a Summer of Live Sport
With the World Cup taking place during the warmer months, outdoor areas become a major asset. Beer gardens, terraces and hotel courtyards can significantly increase capacity when furnished correctly.
Choosing commercial outdoor furniture that is durable, weather-resistant and comfortable allows venues to capitalise on live sport screenings while ensuring furniture lasts beyond the season.
