  • Tables — round, rectangular, trestle and poseur formats in a range of sizes
  • Linen — tablecloths, napkins, chair covers and sashes in a range of colours
  • Crockery — dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls and serving dishes
  • Glassware — wine glasses, champagne flutes, tumblers, highball glasses and more

Quantities are shown on each product page. Customers hiring for large events can check whether enough stock is available before confirming a date.

Minor Damage Waiver

Expo Hire's minor damage waiver covers accidental breakages within a set limit. Taking this option removes the need to individually identify and price damaged items on return. The cost is displayed at checkout.

Send It Back Dirty

Crockery, cutlery and glassware can be returned without washing under the Send It Back Dirty option. A flat fee covers the cost of commercial washing. This is often taken by event organisers who need to pack and return equipment on the same night as the event.
