Derbyshire is a county in the East Midlands of England. A large portion of the Peak District National Park is within the county's borders, containing the southern extremity of the Pennine range of hills. The county borders Greater Manchester to the north-west, West Yorkshire to the north, South Yorkshire to the north-east, Nottinghamshire to the east, Leicestershire to the south-east, along with Staffordshire and Cheshire to the West. The county town of Derbyshire is Derby.
\\\\\\\Derbyshire has a mixed economy. In the west of the county the economy is mostly rural, while the north-east part of the county around Chesterfield and Bolsover, the Erewash valley around Ilkeston and the south around Swadlincote had economies based upon coal mining in the past. The Peak District attracts many tourists to the region, with towns like Bakewell, Matlock and Eyam all having an influx of visitors in the warmer months enjoying the picturesque countryside.
\\\\\\\This area is served by more than one of our website branches, depending on the exact postcode of the venue we are to deliver to. Our website will determine which of our branches is closest when you first enter your postcode, ensuring that you do not need to worry about overpaying for carriage. You can check the carriage cost to your venue by using our carriage calculator.
\\\\\\\We're proud to deliver event hire to venues throughout Derbyshire. Some of the items we deliver include:
\\\\\\\Exhibition Hire in Derbyshire
\\\\\\\Exhibitions tend to be one of the biggest events on a company’s calendar regardless whether it’s a big expo at the Motorpoint Arena or a local trade show. It’s a chance to meet potential suppliers, partners or customers in a commercial environment and good first impressions are vital. Getting the right exhibition hire is important to ensure your stand looks the best it can.
Selling your products at an important show? Having them displayed in the best way possible is vital and our display cabinets for hire are perfect for the job. We have sizes from a simple counter top case to huge wide and tall units, with and without lockable storage areas. All display cabinets are fitted with LED lights to help ensure your products and services are shown in the best light possible.
Exhibitions are also important spaces to meet with potential suppliers, partners and customers. Whether is an informal chat in sofas around a coffee table, or a standup meeting at a poseur table in a tight space, we can help you with all of your exhibition furniture hire needs.
\\\\\\\Gazebo Hire in Derbyshire
\\\\\\\Holding an outdoor event in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire can be a fun experience when the sun is shining. However, we all know how the weather can change very quickly and sometimes it’s necessary to have some space under cover – especially if you’re the one spending all day outside. A pop up gazebo for hire from us can help make sure your event can be a success even if the weather is less than great.
We deliver gazebos to all kinds of events and have both large gazebos for hire and smaller ones in stock to match up to the covered space you need. All of our pop up gazebos for rent come complete with side walls and weights so you don’t have to worry about sourcing any accessories.

The pop up gazebo packages for hire we offer are designed with commercial specifications in mind. They all come with durable coverings and sturdy poles, and while this means that our gazebos are not that suitable for formal events where presentation is key it also means that our gazebos aren’t cheap and flimsy. Our gazebos also incredibly easy to erect – simply telescope the frame apart until it reaches full size, extend the legs and then put the cover on top
\\\\\\\Patio Heater Hire in Derbyshire
\\\\\\\The unpredictability of British weather can make hosting an outdoor event a challenge but you can at least be sure to keep your guests warm with patio heater hire. Event organisers rent patio heaters from us throughout the year so that they are less reliant on good weather. We deliver patio heaters for hire throughout the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire areas.
We offer two kinds of outdoor patio heater hire, which are LPG and electric. Electric patio heaters give off a focused beam of heat which means that they are best used for specific enclosed areas. They need a normal power outlet to plug into as well. For outdoor spaces, gas patio heater hire is far better. These radiate heat outwards in all directions, making them perfect for a proper outdoor function.
[PRODUCT_GRID]
We’ve built up a fair amount of knowledge from hiring out patio heaters, which has helped us to source the best ones possible for you. All of our outdoor gas patio heaters for hire are easy to start, are reliable and fuel efficient. We also supply 13kg LPG bottles separately so you don’t need to worry about where to get one from.
If your space is huge then a space heater for hire might be a better option. These are more industrial in both power and volume, and kick off a tremendous amount of heat to warm up the largest of spaces.

Chair Hire in Derbyshire
\\\\\\\When looking for chair hire, it’s important to take into consideration the kind of chairs for hire needed. We rent chairs of all types to all kinds of events in the East Midlands area – there really isn’t such a thing as a “basic chair”.
Take conferences as an example. A conference can be a really important event for the organiser to get right, so the chairs that delegates sit in need to be perfect. Our conference chairs for hire are not only stackable and durable, but also comfy – something that guests will appreciate when they’re using them all day.
Banquets, weddings, and functions also need the right kind of chairs. Our banqueting chairs for hire are perfect for this kind of events and come in several styles to match any aesthetic. Our banqueting chairs are designed to be stackable so that they can be stored easily before and after an event, and seating configurations can be reset with ease.
Outdoor events require chairs that can withstand the great British climate, and our outdoor chairs for hire meet those expectations and then some. From folding samsonite chairs and aluminium bistro chairs to comfy rattan sofas we’re bound to have what you need.
\\\\\\\Fridge Hire in Derbyshire
\\\\\\\Need to keep food and drink cold at your next event or occasion but don’t have the fridge space to do it? We work with events and occasions of all kinds along with commercial and pop up kitchens throughout Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to help with fridge hire needs. Our expert drivers deliver fridges to venues throughout the region frequently, helping to ensure that event organisers don’t need to worry about keeping things cold.
We have a selection of fridges for hire on offer at Expo Hire East Midlands. The upright glass-fronted display fridges are one of the most frequently hired products we offer, going everywhere to people such as retailers, exhibitors and event organisers. There are also double door bottle coolers which are great for places such as pop-up bars as an under counter fridge. For customers who are after something a little bit more specialist in nature we also stock wine fridges, counter top fridges and chilled drink dispensers.
We understand how commercial kitchens need space to not only store and chill food but also for preparation. To solve this problem we offer counter fridges with integrated workspaces which are designed for this specific problem and which can be wheeled quickly into position with ease. At the other end of the spectrum, our extra large double door fridges are just what is needed for kitchens with large storage requirements.

Planning Your Derbyshire Event
Derbyshire hosts a wide variety of gatherings, ranging from corporate conferences in Derby to large outdoor festivals within the Peak District. Organisers frequently require folding chairs, trestle tables, and durable glassware to accommodate these diverse settings. Rural weddings often necessitate heavy duty catering equipment and trestle tables for marquee setups, while urban venues in the city centre often demand formal banqueting chairs and crisp linen. We provide the essential infrastructure to support events of every scale across the county, regardless of the venue type.
When planning an event in this region, consider the logistics of your chosen location. For smaller indoor gatherings, allow at least ten square feet per person to keep the room comfortable. Large outdoor events in rural areas require robust equipment that can withstand uneven ground and changing weather conditions. Always account for access routes when booking heavy items, as some historical sites or remote farm locations have restricted entry. We recommend booking extra catering supplies to cover any unforeseen guest list additions during your planning.
