Cheltenham Festival Equipment Hire | Expo Hire

Equipment Hire for the Cheltenham Festival

The Cheltenham Festival is the pinnacle of the jump racing calendar, drawing 270,000 visitors across four days each March. Corporate hospitality at Cheltenham is extensive, with private boxes, champagne bars, and marquee entertaining operations running at full capacity throughout the week. Expo Hire is a member of NOEA (National Outdoor Events Association). We supply furniture, glassware, and catering equipment to hospitality operators, caterers, and marquee companies at the event.

Access note: Cheltenham Festival is a ticketed, restricted-access site. We cannot deliver or collect without prior written agreement — if our vehicles cannot move freely throughout the delivery and collection window, we cannot service the booking on standard terms. Call 0800 910 1100 to discuss before ordering.

Hospitality and Dining Furniture

Cheltenham Festival hospitality ranges from intimate private box lunches to large marquee operations seating hundreds. Our banqueting tables in round and rectangular formats, dressed with white tablecloths and surrounded by banqueting chairs, create the formal dining setup the Cheltenham audience expects. Poseur tables with bar stools suit champagne reception areas and standing drinks zones between races. For lounge and relaxation areas, our sofas and coffee tables work within hospitality suite fitouts.
