Alexandra Palace sits on a hill in North London (N22) and is one of the capital's most recognisable event venues. The Victorian building houses several distinct spaces, including the Great Hall, the Palm Court, the West Hall and the theatre, used for concerts, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, trade shows, craft fairs, gaming events and private functions. The venue draws visitors from across London and the South East.
Expo Hire hires furniture and catering equipment to exhibitors, event organisers and caterers working at Alexandra Palace.
Exhibitors in the Great Hall and West Hall use poseur tables and bar stools to attract visitors and hold conversations at the stand. Branded or plain tablecloths dress trestle tables. For larger stands, round tables and chairs create a meeting area. See our exhibition hire pages for the full range of stand furniture.
Alexandra Palace hosts antiques fairs, craft shows, gaming events and food festivals in the Great Hall and West Hall. Stallholders at these events typically need trestle tables with tablecloths, chairs for behind-the-counter seating and poseur tables with bar stools for customer engagement areas. Consumer events often have a large number of small 2m to 3m pitches. Expo Hire can consolidate equipment orders across multiple stallholders at the same event, with items sorted by stall number on the delivery note to simplify set-up.
Alexandra Palace hosts awards ceremonies and gala dinners throughout the year, in the Great Hall in particular. These events need round tables, banqueting chairs, white linen, crockery, cutlery and glassware for each place setting, along with bar equipment for the reception.
Outside caterers bringing their own food service to Alexandra Palace can hire catering equipment including bain maries, chafing dishes, serving trays and hot cupboards directly from us. This reduces the amount of equipment that needs to travel with the catering team.
A gala dinner for 300 guests in the Great Hall needs 30 round tables, 300 banqueting chairs, white linen and 300 full place settings. A trade show with 100 stands needs at minimum 100 trestle tables and 100 tablecloths; most stands add poseur tables, bar stools and meeting furniture on top. Outside caterers at Alexandra Palace also need bain maries, chafing dishes and hot cupboards. Expo Hire can co-ordinate a large consolidated order and sort equipment by event zone or stand number. Large orders qualify for the large order deposit scheme.
Expo Hire delivers direct to Alexandra Palace and collects after your event. Our depot is in the Midlands and we deliver to London regularly. Delivery and collection starts from £40. See delivery charges for full pricing. The minor damage waiver is available on all orders.
