For a show like this, variety is key. You need spaces for serious chats, and areas where people can browse your brochures. Our range of exhibition furniture covers all the bases. Think comfortable sofas and armchairs for lounge areas where you can really engage with potential customers. They’re a step up from standard chairs and show you mean business. We also have a good selection of tables, from small bistro style to larger reception tables, suited to displaying brochures, merchandise, or even a laptop for quick bookings.

What kind of vibe do you want for your stand? If it’s a premium destination, perhaps a more sophisticated look. Our poseur tables paired with bar stools can create a modern, dynamic feel. They’re great for stand-up discussions and give a compact, stylish footprint. For a more relaxed, welcoming feel, consider some of our bean bags, particularly if you're showcasing something like adventure travel or a younger demographic. They’re surprisingly comfortable and definitely stand out.

When it comes to displaying information or products, display cabinets are invaluable. We have various sizes and styles, from tall glass cabinets to lower, more accessible units. They protect your items and present them professionally. We also have barrier hire options, which can be useful for managing queues or defining spaces on a busy show floor. Simple, effective, and necessary sometimes.

Beyond the core furniture, think about the details. Even small items make a difference. Do you need somewhere for your team to charge their phones? A small side table or a high poseur table can serve this purpose. Do you want to offer refreshments? We have bar equipment and fridges that can be useful for keeping drinks cool, though we don’t supply the drinks themselves. Serving snacks? We have various platters and bowls in our serving accessories range.

Ordering from Expo Hire is straightforward. You can browse our website, see the items, and check availability. We've made sure the site is easy to navigate. If you know exactly what you need, great. If you’re unsure about what would best suit your stand or your show objectives, just get in touch. Our team has experience with many exhibition venues, including ExCeL London, and can offer practical advice. We know what works and what doesn’t for different types of stands and shows.

Once you’ve placed your order, we handle the logistics. Delivery to ExCeL London is something we do regularly. We coordinate with the venue's logistics team to ensure your furniture arrives on time, usually the day before the show opens or on the morning of the first day, depending on the venue's access schedule. Our delivery teams are experienced in working within exhibition halls, so they understand the requirements for load-in and load-out.

Collection is just as simple. We’ll come back after the show closes, typically on the final day or the morning after, to collect everything. No hassle for you. You can focus on dismantling your stand and heading home, knowing the furniture will be picked up. This is especially useful at large venues like ExCeL, where getting large amounts of equipment in and out can be complex. We manage our part of that complexity.

Consider the practicality for your team too. Comfortable seating isn't just for visitors; it’s for your staff during downtime or breaks. Having decent chairs or a sofa on your stand means your team is refreshed and ready to engage. It shows you value them, and that positive energy translates to your visitors.

For a travel show, especially one at a venue as large as ExCeL, presentation is everything. The right furniture can make a stand feel more inviting, more professional, and more memorable. It helps to break the ice and encourage longer conversations. For a few high tables for quick chats or a comfortable lounge area for in-depth consultations, we have the solution. We can even help with glassware if you plan to offer drinks, providing everything from simple tumblers to wine glasses.

We also supply tablecloths in various colours, which can instantly change the look and feel of your tables, adding a touch of polish to your display. Simple additions like these make a big difference in a competitive exhibition environment. Getting the look and feel of your stand right is a big part of attracting attention at the Destinations Travel Show.
