Can I temporarily place Indian Sandstone paving slabs on only a 50mm sand screed?

I'm organising a small party in our garden, which has taken too long to clear from brambles etc, and the hard clay soil makes it very time-consuming to dig by hand tools. Can I simply lay a tarp on the even soil and add a 50mm sharp sand screed, and place the flags on top of the sand without a cement mix? I wouldn't even point the flags as I want to do the job properly in the near future. I'd just like to have a somewhat even surface for the table and chairs. Can the flags get damaged from this type of use? They'd have max 6-8 people standing in the area at the same time. It might be a dumb question, sorry! If you present a reason which makes this a dumb idea, I will try to do the job properly (and get help to do it). Cheers!
