Furniture, catering kit and tableware for weddings, festivals, corporate events and more. Live stock, fixed prices, delivery across England and Wales.
This section covers furniture, catering equipment and tableware for 29 event types across England and Wales. Whether you are running a seated dinner for 50, a multi-day outdoor festival or a school prizegiving, you can check live stock, lock in a fixed price and book a delivery slot without waiting for a quote.
Our wedding hire covers black Chiavari chairs, 5ft round banqueting tables, linen and dance floors. Conference organisers regularly hire folding chairs, seminar tables, staging and lounge seating to cover everything from registration to the closing session. Beer festivals, Christmas parties, award ceremonies and school proms each have a dedicated page with the most relevant product suggestions.
We also cover less common setups: funerals and wakes, temporary kitchens, temporary offices and team building days. If your event type is not listed, the product search works just as well — filter by item type, check availability and add to your hire list.
Our 11 regional depots cover Birmingham, London, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds and more. Delivery goes direct to site. There is no security deposit on any order, and we collect after your event closes.
Each event type needs a different mix of hire stock. A conference often needs rows of chairs, seminar tables, lectern space, and water service. A gala dinner needs round tables, linen, crockery, glassware, and bar stock. A summer party may need outdoor seating, parasols, and extra refrigeration. You can move between the event sections on this page, then book the items through the linked furniture and catering equipment ranges.
Live stock on the website helps when dates are fixed and guest numbers still move. It also lets agencies and venue teams price one event, then reuse the same approach for the next date.
Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.
