Planning an event in Cromer or anywhere along the beautiful North Norfolk coast? Expo Hire is your local go-to for all the essential equipment. We understand the unique charm of this area, from the iconic Cromer Pier to the charming villages and stunning beaches, and we're here to help your celebration, wedding, party, or corporate gathering run smoothly.
We cater to a wide range of events here. Think summer weddings with marquees on the lawn at country houses, birthday parties in village halls, corporate events looking for a refined touch, or even beach festivals needing practical outdoor furniture. If you're hosting a Christmas party at a local hotel, a product launch, or a private function in a rented cottage, we've got the furniture, glassware, and catering equipment you'll need. No matter the scale or style, we deliver and collect, making the logistics simple for you.
The choice of chairs can really set the tone for your event. For more formal occasions, our Chiavari chairs in classic black or crisp white offer a touch of sophistication. These chairs, with their elegant, open backs, are perfect for creating a sense of occasion and pair beautifully with formal tablecloths. If you're aiming for a rustic vibe, the Cross Back chair in oak is a perennial favourite, its distinctive weathered look adding warmth and character, especially popular for barn weddings and garden parties. For something a little different, the Wishbone chair, also known as the CH24 or Y chair, provides a modern yet natural feel with its beautifully sculpted beechwood frame and woven seat, offering a comfortable and stylish seating solution.
Pairing the right tables with your chairs is key to creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. For sit-down meals, our 6ft round banqueting tables are ideal, comfortably seating up to 10 guests and fostering a convivial atmosphere. We also offer rectangular trestle tables, perfect for buffets or creating long dining rows. For smaller gatherings or drinks receptions, our sleek poseur tables, often paired with bar stools, and charming bistro sets offer flexible arrangements, ideal for creating intimate seating areas or a more relaxed networking space.
When it comes to glassware, presentation is everything, and we ensure your drinks are served in style. We offer a comprehensive range from delicate, sparkling champagne flutes for those celebratory toasts to robust, satisfying beer glasses designed for a good pint. Don't forget the essential wine glasses – we have various styles to suit different vintages, from tulip-shaped glasses to accommodate swirling and aeration to more delicate stemmed options. For cocktail parties, our stylish cocktail glasses, including martini and highball options, add that extra flair. All our glassware is meticulously cleaned and inspected, delivered sparkling and ready for use, ensuring a professional finish to your beverage service.
Linen can dramatically change the feel of a space, transforming a simple table into a sophisticated centrepiece. Our high-quality tablecloths come in a range of sizes and colours, from classic white and ivory to richer hues, designed to complement your theme and colour scheme. We also offer a selection of runners and overlays for added detail. If you're using chairs that benefit from them, we also offer elegant chair covers in various fabrics and styles, along with perfectly pressed, coordinating napkins, to tie your table settings together beautifully.
For those hosting more casual events, especially in the vibrant summer months, our reliable BBQ hire is a popular choice, perfect for outdoor gatherings and family celebrations. To ensure your provisions stay fresh and at the ideal temperature, we also stock essential fridges and freezers, available in various sizes. And for keeping hot food deliciously warm and ready to serve, our efficient warming equipment, including bain-maries and hot cupboards, ensures your culinary creations are presented at their best.
If your event involves a bar, whether it’s a dedicated drinks station or a full-service bar, we have everything you need to make it a focal point. From stylish bar furniture and comfortable bar stools to essential bar equipment, we've got it covered. We can supply everything from ice buckets and cocktail shakers to speed rails and professional glassware cleaning tools, ensuring a smooth and efficient bar operation.
Cromer and its surrounding areas are popular for a variety of venues, each with its own unique character. You might be looking at the historic Cromer Pier itself for a function, taking advantage of its stunning sea views, or perhaps a grand country house near Holt for an elegant wedding reception. Consider the charm of a village hall in Sheringham or Overstrand for a more intimate gathering. We frequently deliver to well-known hotels such as The Grove or The Cliftonville, as well as numerous private residences, marquees erected on private land, and community centres across the region, adapting our service to suit each unique setting.
For corporate events, conferences, or exhibitions taking place locally, we offer a comprehensive range of exhibition furniture. This includes sleek display cabinets to showcase products, versatile modular seating options for conference delegates, and practical display stands, all suitable for creating professional and engaging trade show booths or product launch environments.
When it comes to enhancing outdoor entertaining and ensuring comfort even as the temperature drops, patio heaters are a must for cooler evenings, extending your event’s usability into the night and ensuring your guests remain cosy. And if you need practical shelter from the elements or a defined outdoor space, our gazebo hire can provide a stylish and practical solution, perfect for outdoor ceremonies, catering areas, or simply offering a shaded retreat.
