Expo Hire delivers event hire for Christmas parties across the region every year. We use this experience to offer practical advice to help you maximise your budget and host a memorable event.
Drinks are a central part of any Christmas celebration. Having the correct glassware and, more importantly, enough of it, prevents awkward shortages.
Expo Hire stocks a wide selection of glasses suitable for all types of festive beverages. For sparkling wine, we offer both traditional champagne saucers and elegant flutes. We also provide various beer glasses designed for ales and lagers, alongside a comprehensive range of wine glasses to suit different budgets and wine preferences.
You do not need to worry about washing up. Our 'send it back dirty' service applies to all glassware. Simply empty any remaining liquid and return the glasses in their original crates. We handle the cleaning at our warehouse. We do not charge breakage deposits; a small number of breakages are covered by our complimentary damage waiver service.
To calculate quantities, a good rule of thumb is to hire 20 percent more glasses than your guest count. Glasses often get misplaced, left on tables, or accidentally broken during an event. Having a few extra prevents running short mid-party, and the cost is minimal.
LED furniture is a popular choice for Christmas party hire. Colour-changing or fixed-colour LED pieces add a dynamic visual element to any venue. Our range includes LED bars and LED seating, providing options to illuminate your party space.
Each piece of LED furniture has an integrated battery that lasts up to eight hours. We supply chargers for recharging between uses and remote controls for adjusting colours.
If LED furniture is not your preference, we offer a wide selection of poseur tables and bar stools, creating a more traditional drinks reception atmosphere.
For a formal sit-down Christmas dinner, Chiavari chair hire in gold or white complements dressed tables well. Gold Chiavari chairs against white linen and red napkins create a classic Christmas table setting that many venues favour annually. Banqueting chairs with padded seats provide comfort for events where guests will be seated for two hours or more.
Appropriate table linen brings a Christmas table setting together. Our tablecloth hire range includes white, ivory, and coloured options. We stock round and rectangular sizes to fit standard banqueting tables.
For a typical Christmas dinner layout, a 5ft round table seats 8 guests and requires a 120-inch round cloth. A 6ft trestle table seats 6 to 8 guests and takes a 70-inch by 120-inch rectangular cloth. If you are planning a buffet rather than a sit-down meal, allow approximately 2ft (60cm) of table space per guest for serving dishes and for guests to place their plates.
Consider adding table runners or overlays for an extra layer of festive decoration. These can introduce contrasting colours or textures to your table scheme.
The Christmas period is our busiest time of year. Demand for event equipment, particularly popular items like glassware, furniture, and catering equipment, is exceptionally high. Booking your Christmas party hire requirements early is essential to secure the items you need and avoid disappointment.
We recommend finalising your guest numbers and your equipment list at least 6 to 8 weeks before your event date. This lead time allows us to confirm availability and schedule deliveries efficiently. For larger events or bespoke requirements, we suggest contacting us even earlier.
When you book, we will confirm your delivery and collection dates. Our team will work with you to establish the best times for delivery and pickup, minimising disruption to your event planning and execution. We deliver across the UK, ensuring your chosen equipment arrives on time, ready for your festive celebration.
