Event Hire in the Cotswolds
Cotswold Event Hire
Expo Hire supplies furniture, catering equipment, crockery, glassware and linen for venues, caterers, wedding planners and corporate teams across the Cotswolds. We support race meetings at Cheltenham Racecourse and house events at Stanway House. Teams hire from us for weddings near Westonbirt Arboretum and private dining near Daylesford. The Cotswolds depot covers Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Furniture Hire
You can hire banqueting chairs, folding chairs, trestle tables and poseur tables for barn weddings, food events and country house dinners. Planners set round tables and chair lines at Sudeley Castle, and they use practical furniture at Tewkesbury Abbey for receptions and support spaces. Chiavari chairs are the most common choice for Cotswolds barn weddings and country house dining rooms. We keep stock for guest dining, bars and crew areas, so one order can cover a long lunch, an evening feast or a large charity event at a manor house or walled garden.
Cheltenham Racecourse and Festival Hire
Cheltenham Racecourse draws some of the UK's largest hospitality operations during the Gold Cup, Festival and National Hunt season. Caterers and hospitality teams book our catering equipment, furniture and bar kit weeks ahead of race days. Tables and chairs fill hospitality boxes and marquee enclosures. Ovens, hot cupboards and fridges go into temporary kitchen builds behind the scenes. Glassware and crockery cover large buffet and dining setups. We plan delivery and collection around Racecourse access windows and build clean routes into the site plan.
Cotswold Weddings
The Cotswolds has a high concentration of country house wedding venues. Planners at Elmore Court, Caswell House, Wootton Park and Bourton-on-the-Water venues use our wedding chair hire, wedding table hire and linen hire for seated ceremonies and dining. Chiavari chairs in gold, silver and limewash are the standard choice. White and ivory linen tablecloths in 5ft and 6ft round sizes go out with the tables. We deliver crockery, cutlery and glassware in the same order so planners and caterers deal with one supplier and one delivery.
Catering Equipment Hire
Our catering equipment range covers ovens, hot cupboards, fridges and prep tables for manor houses, walled gardens and marquee sites. Caterers use our refrigeration and hot holding at Cheltenham Racecourse for hospitality service, and they add extra kitchen support near Blenheim Palace for estate events with high guest counts. We send prep stations to sites near Westonbirt Arboretum, where teams need clean workflow from delivery to breakdown. Cotswolds outdoor caterers book LPG cooking equipment, hot cupboards and service counters for barn venues without permanent kitchen infrastructure.
Crockery, Glassware and Linen
For front of house, we stock crockery, cutlery, glassware and linen that suit polished dining rooms and outdoor receptions. Teams lay tables at Stanway House with plates, wine glasses and napkins that match across the room, and they build reception bars near Daylesford with tumblers, trays and water glasses. You can return glassware and crockery dirty, which helps crews clear a marquee or courtyard at the end of service. The Send It Back Dirty service is used widely across the Cotswolds wedding season, where caterers pack crates fast at the end of late-night events.
Outdoor Events in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds summer season runs from late April through October with barn weddings, house parties, food festivals and corporate retreats. Teams book outdoor furniture hire, patio heater hire and gazebo hire for walled garden dinners, estate lunches and outdoor marquee events. Outdoor poseur tables and garden chairs go to food and drink festivals across Cheltenham and Cirencester. Heaters extend the usable hours of outdoor spaces into cooler evenings, which is particularly useful at country house venues with large terraces.
