Bradford Event and Catering Equipment Hire

Expo Hire delivers tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware and catering equipment to Bradford and the surrounding area. Bradford has a strong events calendar across its hotels, civic buildings and university, with the Midland Hotel and Victoria Hall hosting regular corporate dinners, awards evenings and private celebrations. The city's large South Asian community drives a steady demand for formal banqueting equipment, particularly large-scale chair and table hire for weddings and celebration events across West Yorkshire.

How Much Equipment Do You Need?

Order quantities depend on your guest numbers and event format. A seated dinner for 100 typically requires around 110 chairs, 13 round tables, 100 place settings and 200 glasses. A standing networking event for the same numbers needs fewer tables but more glassware.

Expo Hire has no minimum order. The website shows live stock levels so you can check availability for your date before placing an order. For events over 500 guests, contact the team to confirm stock.
