The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything. For those organising an event in and around the beautiful city of Bath, we bring our full range of hire equipment, from the grandest banquets to intimate parties.

Bath, with its Georgian elegance and surrounding countryside, hosts a diverse array of events. We regularly supply equipment for everything from corporate events and product launches at venues like the Assembly Rooms or The Egg Theatre, to private parties and anniversary celebrations in stately homes scattered across the Somerset hills. We also support exhibitions at the Bath Exhibition Centre and smaller trade shows, helping to create memorable experiences that complement the city's unique atmosphere and historical charm.
Choosing the right chairs can set the tone for your entire event. For formal banquets, our banqueting chairs are a solid choice, offering exceptional comfort with their padded seats and backs, and a classic, timeless look that never goes out of style. If you're after something with a bit more character or a specific aesthetic, the exquisite Chiavari chairs, available in black, white, or limewash, add an immediate touch of glamour and elegance, suited to weddings and celebratory dinners. For a more organic or rustic setting, the natural wood finish Chiavari chairs blend beautifully with more earthy, natural themes. And if your event leans towards a more relaxed, contemporary vibe, perhaps for a bohemian garden party or a laid-back wedding reception, we have a fantastic selection of outdoor furniture that's both stylish and durable, or for ultimate comfort and a casual lounge area, consider our plush bean bags, they're always a hit!
When it comes to tables, the configuration is key to the event's flow and guest experience. For grand meals, our versatile banqueting tables, available in both long rectangular and generously sized circular designs, are the standard for seating your guests. A 6ft round banqueting table, for instance, comfortably seats up to 10 guests, fostering excellent conversation and a convivial atmosphere. For more dynamic events, such as drinks receptions, networking events, or standing buffets, our sleek poseur tables, often paired with our comfortable bar stools, create a vibrant and engaging space that encourages mingling. We also cater for more intimate gatherings or functional breakout areas with our selection of smaller cafu00e9-style tables, suited to relaxed seating or dedicated zones.
For catering needs, especially for events where you're taking the reins on food preparation or working closely with an external caterer, our comprehensive BBQ equipment is an popular choice for bringing a touch of outdoor fun to summer gatherings. If your event is more drinks-focused, our professional bar equipment is essential; this includes high-capacity bottle coolers to keep beverages chilled and efficient glassware washing facilities. And, of course, no event is complete without the right serveware. We offer a full range of glassware, from your everyday essentials like crisp wine glasses and robust beer glasses, to a sophisticated selection of specialized cocktail glasses designed for every type of concoction. Don't forget we also supply all the necessary crockery and gleaming cutlery to beautifully present and serve your culinary creations.
For those charming outdoor events, particularly those that extend into the evening or take place during cooler seasons, our patio heaters are an absolute lifesaver. They ingeniously extend the usability and comfort of your outdoor spaces well into the evening and cooler months, and we can supply them in good numbers to ensure everyone stays toasty. If you need to provide shelter from the elements or create defined zones, our versatile gazebo hire is an ideal solution, suited to smaller gatherings or as a stylish cover for catering stations or reception areas. To ensure your food and drinks remain fresh and at the ideal temperature, we also supply essential fridges and freezers, ranging from compact under-counter units to larger display models.
For corporate events or exhibitions held in prominent venues such as the Bath International Centre or in smaller, more intimate function rooms, we offer a carefully curated range of exhibition furniture. This includes simple yet highly effective display cabinets, suited to showcasing products, and modular furniture solutions that can be easily configured to build custom stands and create professional-looking displays. Barrier hire is also a crucial element for many exhibition setups, proving invaluable for managing crowd flow, safely delineating walkways, or creating VIP areas and backstage access.
The finishing touches can elevate an event, and tablecloths play a significant role in this. Our extensive selection of tablecloths comes in a variety of high-quality fabrics, sizes, and colours, allowing you to match your chosen theme or brand aesthetic. We also offer coordinating napkins in a multitude of shades and materials. Using beautifully dressed tables with crisp linens and coordinating napkins is a subtle yet impactful way to add a touch of refined elegance and polish to any occasion, from formal dinners to more casual celebrations.
Our dedicated delivery area covers the historic city of Bath and extends outwards to encompass the charming surrounding towns and picturesque villages. You can expect us to reliably deliver our hire equipment to areas including, but not limited to, Bath itself (covering BA1 and BA2 postcodes), the delightful towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Chippenham, and Frome, the cathedral city of Wells, and many other beautiful villages throughout the BA, BS, and SN postcode regions. We are committed to ensuring seamless delivery and collection, and we'll confirm all specific delivery details and timings when you get in touch with us to discuss your event needs.
