Brighton Centre is the main large-scale conference and entertainment venue on the South Coast, situated on Brighton's seafront between the Grand Hotel and the seafront promenade. The venue's two halls can accommodate up to 5,000 people and host trade conferences, national exhibitions, political party conferences, awards ceremonies and large private events throughout the year. Brighton station is a ten-minute walk from the venue, with direct fast trains to London and connections to Gatwick Airport.
Brighton Centre attracts national and international events year-round. Exhibitors, outside caterers and event contractors hire furniture and catering equipment from Expo Hire for events at Brighton Centre.
Brighton Centre hosts a range of events from large trade conferences to consumer exhibitions. For trade shows and professional conferences, poseur tables and bar stools create compact meeting areas on the exhibition floor without consuming stand space. For seated conference formats, conference chairs and rectangular tables suit both classroom and boardroom configurations.
For exhibitors with larger stand footprints, Expo Hire can supply a mix of furniture covering different zones — a hospitality area with poseur tables and stools alongside a seated demonstration or meeting space.
Brighton Centre's main hall is used for large gala dinners and awards ceremonies. For seated events, Expo Hire supplies banqueting chairs, round tables, linen, crockery and glassware for outside caterers and event teams running the evening. For receptions before a seated dinner, poseur tables and bar stools provide standing drinks areas. Both can be supplied as a single order.
Outside caterers working at Brighton Centre hire kitchen equipment to supplement their own kit. Chafing dishes, hot cupboards, water urns and bain maries handle large banquet service. For receptions, glassware, jugs and service equipment are the most common requirements. Expo Hire's catering equipment hire range covers the main items needed for Brighton Centre events.
Expo Hire delivers to Brighton Centre and collects after the event. Build-up and breakdown schedules vary by event, and Expo Hire can work to the organiser's access window when you book. Equipment arrives clean and ready to use.
Brighton Centre is on Kings Road on Brighton seafront. For delivery charges, see Expo Hire's carriage pricing page. For shows with a fixed build-up window, book early to confirm delivery timing.
Expo Hire includes free Minor Damage Waiver cover on all orders at no extra charge. This covers minor breakages and small items of damage during normal use. Full details are on the Minor Damage Waiver Scheme page.
