Nottingham has a varied events scene, with venues ranging from Nottingham Castle to the Motorpoint Arena and hotel ballrooms in the city centre. The Lace Market area adds a collection of boutique spaces for smaller corporate events and private dining. Expo Hire delivers commercial seating to venues across Nottingham and the East Midlands.
Seating choice depends on the event format and venue style. Formal seated dinners suit the Chiavari banqueting chair — white frames for bright marquees and weddings, black frames for corporate galas, limewash for heritage and barn venues. Contemporary corporate events often use the Wishbone chair, which adds a sculptural element to table arrangements. For outdoor and informal setups, the Cross Back chair in oak works well at garden parties and vineyard events. We also supply stacking chairs for auditorium-style conference seating where large numbers are needed quickly.
Trade shows and exhibitions need furniture that moves quickly between setups. We stock standard exhibition chairs and exhibition tables for shell schemes and registration desks. These items stack efficiently and handle tight build schedules. For conference banquets and formal corporate dinners, the dark wood banqueting chair suits the traditional ballroom settings found across Nottingham's hotel sector.
Seating is one part of a complete table arrangement. We supply linen hire to dress dining tables, crockery for food service, and glassware for drinks. Our Send It Back Dirty service applies to all crockery, glassware, and cutlery — items are returned unwashed and we handle cleaning. For outdoor evening events, commercial patio heaters extend the usable time on outdoor terraces and garden areas.
