We see a lot of events in Cheltenham that really focus on the dining experience. This means tables and tablecloths are always popular. You'll find our 6ft round banqueting tables, which seat 10-12 guests comfortably, are a firm favourite for sit-down meals. These substantial tables provide ample space for elegant place settings and centrepieces, ensuring a memorable dining atmosphere. For more informal setups, perhaps a networking event or a wedding breakfast with a relaxed vibe, our 8ft trestle tables are very versatile. Their straightforward design makes them suited to buffet stations, encouraging guest interaction, or can be arranged in various configurations to suit the flow of your event.
When it comes to seating, comfort and style are key. We supply a range of chairs that suit different aesthetics. For formal occasions, our Chiavari chairs in gold, silver, or limewash offer a timeless elegance. The gold and silver finishes exude a classic glamour, ideal for black-tie events or prestigious awards ceremonies. The limewash finish, in particular, works wonderfully for barn venues or events with a rustic theme, adding a touch of natural charm and sophistication. If you're after something a bit more contemporary or perhaps for a corporate lunch, the banqueting chairs with their padded seats are a comfortable choice. These chairs offer excellent support, ensuring your guests remain comfortable throughout longer events. And for those relaxed, outdoor garden parties or festivals, our outdoor furniture, including benches and bistro sets, is always in demand. Our sturdy wooden benches are suited to communal seating, fostering a friendly atmosphere, while the charming bistro sets offer intimate seating for smaller gatherings or as supplementary seating in garden settings.
Cheltenham also hosts a significant number of exhibitions and trade shows, particularly at venues like the Cheltenham Racecourse itself or the Town Hall for certain events. For these, we provide sturdy exhibition furniture such as poseur tables and matching bar stools, suited to creating a stand that's both functional and inviting. These tall, sleek tables are ideal for product demonstrations or engaging with visitors, and the accompanying bar stools provide comfortable, stylish seating. Our display cabinets are also frequently requested for showcasing products. Available in various sizes and styles, these cabinets provide secure and attractive display solutions, ensuring your merchandise is presented to its best advantage and protected.
The hospitality sector here is also very active. Bars and restaurants often require temporary bar furniture, or additional bar equipment for special events. We supply everything from drink dispensers to glassware. Our commercial-grade drink dispensers are suited to serving a variety of beverages, from refreshing iced teas to mulled wine during winter events. For parties and celebrations, people often hire our wine glasses and champagne flutes. Our extensive glassware range includes various shapes and sizes to complement different wines and spirits, ensuring a professional touch. Worth adding: don't forget the crockery and cutlery to complete the setting. Our selection of plates, bowls, and side dishes, alongside our polished cutlery, ensures that every dining element is catered for, no matter the occasion.
When it comes to outdoor events, especially during the warmer months or for specific festivals, gazebo hire is very popular to provide shelter from the sun or a light shower. Our robust gazebos create a defined, sheltered space, ideal for welcome areas, catering stations, or simply providing a comfortable spot for guests to relax. And for any event where outdoor space is being utilised, especially in the evenings, our patio heaters are essential for keeping guests comfortable. These powerful heaters create a warm and inviting atmosphere, allowing your event to extend into the cooler hours of the night. They are a lifesaver for garden parties and marquee events when the temperature drops, ensuring your guests remain cosy and can continue to enjoy themselves.
Cheltenham is a town that celebrates its heritage and enjoys bringing people together. We understand that Cheltenham draws crowds for its racing events, and we regularly supply equipment to facilitate the hospitality areas around the racecourse for private functions.

Beyond the racecourse, we also serve events at popular local venues like the Pittville Pump Room, a beautiful Regency building suited to elegant celebrations; the Town Hall, a central hub for civic and corporate gatherings; and many of the beautiful country houses and hotels in the surrounding Cotswolds area, which often host weddings and corporate retreats. Each of these venues offers a unique backdrop, and we are experienced in providing the perfect complement of hire items.
