Expo Hire delivers furniture and catering equipment to Newcastle and across the North East for corporate events, weddings, charity galas and university functions.
Expo Hire delivers tables, chairs, linen, crockery and catering equipment to Newcastle upon Tyne and across the North East for corporate dinners, weddings, charity galas and university events.
\n\nNewcastle is one of England's most active event cities. Its compact city centre holds a large number of hotels, civic venues and converted industrial spaces that host everything from black-tie fundraisers to informal staff parties. The wider North East region includes Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and Northumberland, all within Expo Hire's delivery range.
\n\nNewcastle's business community runs a busy calendar of awards dinners, conferences and corporate hospitality events. The Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Newcastle Civic Centre and Sage Gateshead are all popular for large-format corporate functions.
\n\nExpo Hire supplies round banquet tables and trestle tables for conference and dinner setups, alongside Chiavari chairs and banqueting chairs for formal events. Crisp white linen is standard for awards evenings and client dinners, and catering equipment including chafing dishes and coffee urns supports outside caterers running kitchen operations away from a fixed base.
\n\nThe North East has a strong wedding venue offer. Matfen Hall, Ellingham Hall, Eshott Hall and a range of country hotels attract couples from across the region. Many outside caterers operate in this area and need to bring their own crockery, glassware and service equipment to each venue.
\n\nFor wedding receptions, Chiavari chairs remain the most requested chair style at formal venues. Folding trestle tables are popular at barn and rural venues for long-table reception layouts. Expo Hire supplies equipment for weddings of 50 to 400 guests and delivers to venues throughout Northumberland, County Durham and Tyne and Wear.
\n\nCharity galas are a fixture of Newcastle's social calendar. Fundraising dinners typically run at large hotel ballrooms or civic spaces and require a full set of hire equipment, including tables, chairs, linen, crockery and glassware. Expo Hire can supply complete table settings for 100 to 500 covers, with items delivered the day before and collected the morning after the event.
\n\nPoseur tables and bar stools are regularly hired alongside dinner furniture for drinks receptions before the main course. Silent auction setups and raffle table arrangements can also be accommodated with additional trestle tables.
\n\nBoth Newcastle University and Northumbria University run formal events, graduation balls and society dinners throughout the academic year. Student unions and events teams organise large sit-down dinners that require hire furniture, particularly at venues without a permanent stock of banqueting equipment.
\n\nExpo Hire supplies equipment for student events at competitive rates, with flexible delivery scheduling to fit around venue availability and event build times. For events with high breakage risk, the minor damage waiver scheme is worth considering.
\n\nExpo Hire stocks a full range of event furniture and catering equipment:
\n\nExpo Hire delivers to Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Middlesbrough and surrounding areas. Delivery starts from £40, with pricing based on distance. Full details are on the delivery and carriage page.
\n\nDeliveries run seven days a week with agreed time windows. Equipment is collected after the event, clean or unclean. Early booking is recommended for peak summer wedding weekends and December party season dates.
