The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything. We’re delighted to support event organisers in Burton upon Trent and the surrounding Staffordshire and Derbyshire areas with the essential equipment needed to host memorable occasions.
Our service to Burton upon Trent covers a broad spectrum of events. From intimate family gatherings and milestone birthday parties to corporate functions and, of course, weddings, we supply the building blocks for a successful event. We understand that Burton has a rich heritage, particularly its brewing history, and this often influences the style of events held here, with many venues embracing rustic charm or classic elegance. We’re well-placed to cater to these varied tastes. We regularly deliver to popular local venues such as Newton House Barns, offering a picturesque rural setting, and The Winery, known for its sophisticated atmosphere. You’ll also find us at The Roebuck Inn and other established hospitality spots across the town. We pride ourselves on understanding the unique character of Burton and its environs, ensuring our offerings align perfectly with the local aesthetic and event styles prevalent in areas like Needwood Forest or along the Trent & Mersey Canal.
Choosing the right chairs can really set the tone for your event. For weddings and formal dinners, our Chiavari chairs are a consistent favourite. In classic gold or silver, they add a touch of glamour, while white offers a fresh, bright feel, and limewash provides a warmer, more natural look that works particularly well in barn venues like Newton House Barns. If you’re aiming for something a little different, the Wishbone chair brings a Scandinavian-inspired simplicity and a sculptural element that looks fantastic in photos. Its clean lines and natural wood finish lend themselves beautifully to modern settings or as a subtle yet stylish addition to a more traditional backdrop. For a more relaxed, natural vibe, the Cross Back chair in oak is a superb choice, fitting perfectly with countryside or garden settings. The sturdy, handcrafted look of these chairs evokes a sense of rustic charm and authenticity. For more casual events, or as an accent piece for lounge areas, consider our bean bags or sofas and lounge furniture. These offer an inviting, comfortable space for guests to relax and mingle, adding a touch of informal sophistication.
Tables are, naturally, central to any event. For banquets, our 6ft circular tables are a popular choice, comfortably seating up to 10 guests and facilitating conversation. Their round shape encourages a convivial atmosphere, making them ideal for lively dinner parties. If you’re planning a more informal gathering, perhaps with a buffet or food stations, our rectangular tables provide flexible configurations. These can be arranged in various layouts to suit your venue and event flow, from long feasting tables to more intimate clusters. For standing receptions or cocktail events, poseur tables paired with bar stools create a chic, contemporary feel. Their height makes them perfect for mingling, and they add a touch of modern flair. We also offer a range of bar furniture, including traditional portable bars and stylish counter setups, perfect for serving drinks and creating a focal point for your refreshment station.
When it comes to dining, the details matter. We provide a comprehensive range of crockery hire, from dinner plates and starter plates to bowls, ensuring you have the right size and style for each course. Our collection includes classic white porcelain, ideal for a timeless look, as well as more contemporary designs. Complementing this is our extensive cutlery hire, offering everything from standard knife and fork sets to specialist pieces like fish knives and dessert spoons, ensuring every culinary need is met with elegance. For beverages, we have a wide selection of glassware. Whether you need standard wine glasses in various sizes, elegant champagne flutes for toasts, robust pint and half-pint beer glasses, or specific cocktail glasses for your signature drinks, we can supply them. Don't forget the bar accessories needed to keep drinks flowing, including shakers, jiggers, and strainers for creating perfect cocktails.
Linen adds a polished finish and a touch of luxury. Our tablecloths come in various sizes and colours to match your theme, from crisp white for formal settings to richer hues for a more dramatic effect. Pair them with coordinating napkins for a cohesive and elegant table setting. For added chair style and to complement the overall decor, we also offer chair covers and sashes in a multitude of colours and fabrics, allowing you to transform any chair into a statement piece.
For outdoor events or to extend your usable space, especially during cooler months or unpredictable British weather, our gazebo hire offers versatile shelter. These structures can provide a protected area for dining, a dance floor, or simply a comfortable space for guests to gather. And when the temperature drops, our patio heaters are essential for keeping guests comfortable outdoors, allowing your event to continue long into the evening without a chill.
For caterers or event hosts managing their own food preparation, we offer a range of cooking equipment, including commercial-grade ovens and hobs, alongside essential warming equipment to keep dishes at the perfect serving temperature, and beverage equipment for both hot and cold drinks, such as bain-maries and beverage dispensers. Our popular BBQ hire is perfect for summer garden parties or more relaxed outdoor celebrations, providing a fantastic way to serve delicious grilled food.
