School Autumn Term Event Hire: Parents' Evenings to Christmas Fairs

<p>Autumn term brings a run of school events back to back. Here is what to hire for each one, so you are not ordering from scratch every few weeks.</p>

Autumn term is the busiest run of events in the school calendar: open days, parents' evenings, prize givings, nativities and Christmas fairs, often within a few weeks of each other. Ordering the right kit once, rather than re-planning for each event, saves time.

Open days and parents' evenings

  • Trestle tables for sign-in desks and subject stations
  • Stacking or folding chairs for waiting areas
  • Poseur tables for refreshments

Prize givings and nativities

  • Conference chairs for parent seating — more comfortable than folding chairs for a full assembly
  • Staging or raised platforms if your hall doesn't have a fixed stage
  • A lectern for readings and presentations

Christmas fairs

  • Trestle tables for stallholders
  • Gazebos if any part of the fair runs outdoors
  • Urns or hot drinks equipment for a refreshments stall

Ordering across the term

If your school runs several events across the term, it's worth booking furniture for the whole run at once rather than placing separate orders — it locks in stock before December gets busy and means one delivery conversation instead of four.

Browse school and institutional hire or get in touch for a term-wide quote.
