Your guide to hiring for Aldwick Estate events.
Your guide to hiring for Aldwick Estate events.
Aldwick Estate operates as a working vineyard in Somerset. The venue features two main event spaces, the Old Barn and the New Barn. Organising a large-scale event here requires precise logistics and commercial grade equipment. Expo Hire supplies aldwick estate wedding hire directly to the venue doors. Our drivers navigate the estate access routes and deliver your items clean, tested, and ready for immediate use. You manage the setup while we handle the transport. We operate a strict dry hire service with no installation or on-site support. Professional event organisers and independent caterers rely on our network of 11 regional depots across England and Wales.
Seating dictates the room layout and guest comfort. Our Chiavari chairs fit traditional barn aesthetics. We stock these in black, white, and limewash finishes. The limewash option matches the exposed timber inside the Old Barn. For a contemporary Scandinavian style, the Wishbone chair brings organic shapes to the dining space. The Cross Back chair in oak suits rustic layouts. Its natural wood grain complements the vineyard surroundings. Every chair order includes our free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches during your event. No other UK hire company includes this as standard. We design our EventProu00ae own-brand range specifically for the hire trade. We test these items in-house to guarantee they withstand the heavy use of commercial hospitality.
Dining surfaces form the core of your reception. Our 6ft circular tables seat up to 10 guests each. This configuration encourages conversation during the meal. For formal banquets, rectangular banqueting tables give you layout flexibility. You arrange them in long rows or smaller clusters to fit the specific dimensions of the New Barn. We do not charge a security deposit on any table hire or chair hire orders. Venue managers appreciate this straightforward approach to billing.
The Old Barn frequently hosts indoor ceremonies. You need uniform seating for the congregation. Wooden folding chairs provide a practical option for the aisles. You fold and stack them away after the vows to clear the floor for the evening reception.
Bare tables require covering. Heavy-duty tablecloths give your place settings a clean foundation. We stock multiple colours and fabrics to match your event theme. Coordinating napkins complete the table design.
Drinks service requires dedicated stations. We supply bar counters to create a central focal point for your reception. Tall bar stools pair with poseur tables for casual drinking areas. Our glassware inventory covers all beverage requirements. Order wine glasses for the meal, champagne flutes for the toasts, and beer glasses for the evening party. Every glassware order includes our "Send It Back Dirty" service. You return the glasses unwashed, and we handle the cleaning at our depot. This service applies to all crockery and cutlery orders as well. You pack the used items back into their transport crates, and our industrial washing facilities handle the rest.
Aldwick Estate hosts corporate functions alongside private celebrations. Conferences and seminars demand practical seating. Standard banqueting chairs pair with meeting tables for syndicate work. Breakout areas benefit from our sofas and lounge furniture. These pieces give delegates a comfortable place to network between sessions. We supply equipment to major organisations including the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University. Corporate event teams value our transparent pricing and live stock availability.
The Somerset grounds accommodate outdoor drinks receptions during the summer. We stock weather-resistant outdoor furniture for patio areas. Heavy-duty gazebos give your guests shelter from direct sun or rain. Our system calculates delivery to Somerset from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest regional depot. On the day of delivery, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA. You track the driver by order number and postcode, removing the guesswork from your delivery schedule.
Food service relies on commercial appliances. Independent caterers need fridges and freezers to hold ingredients at safe temperatures. Electric warming equipment keeps hot dishes ready for service. Dedicated bar equipment includes ice buckets and bottle coolers. For relaxed summer dining, commercial BBQ equipment handles large volumes of food. Our warehouse team tests and maintains all items in our catering equipment hire inventory before dispatch. We supply the exact specifications required by professional kitchen staff.
Managing an event requires reliable suppliers. Expo Hire operates a fully online ordering system. You browse our catalogue, check live stock levels, and secure your items without making a single phone call. For orders over £1,000, you have the option to pay a 25% advance deposit to secure your booking. This helps spread the cost of large-scale event planning. Warehouse self-collection remains an option Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm at our Birmingham headquarters. Most Somerset events opt for our direct delivery service. Securing your aldwick estate wedding hire takes just a few clicks. Our website displays live prices on the product pages.
