Furniture and catering equipment for graduations, open days and campus events.
Furniture and catering equipment for graduations, open days and campus events.
Schools, colleges and universities run graduations, open days, exams, fairs and award dinners. Expo Hire supplies temporary furniture and catering equipment for education events across England and Wales.
We run dry hire. We deliver clean, tested stock to site and collect after the event, but your team sets the room and runs the day. You can price the order online with live stock for your dates.
Banqueting chairs suit graduation dinners and prize nights. Folding chairs suit assemblies, exam halls and open day talks. Round tables suit dining layouts, while rectangular tables suit registration desks, prospectus stands and careers fairs.
Open days and alumni events often need bar units, beverage equipment, glassware and crockery. If caterers cook on site, you can add fridges, warming equipment, prep tables and serving pieces. Lounge furniture can also help you form staff rooms or sponsor areas.
Careers fairs, degree shows and recruitment events use display cabinets, counters, barriers and poseur tables to shape footfall. Summer balls and campus receptions can also use outdoor tables, benches, patio heaters and gazebos.
We run 11 depots across England and Wales. Our system calculates delivery by road distance from your nearest depot, with charges from £40 ex VAT. On delivery day, we send an SMS ETA and a GPS tracking link.
We do not ask for a security deposit and low minimum order levels apply. Orders above £1,000 can use a 25% advance payment option. Build the basket online, check live availability and book the stock your event needs.
Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.
Six things no other hire company in the UK offers. We deliver and collect seven days a week — no other hire company does. We are the only hire company to offer live order tracking for both delivery and collection; track your driver in real time by order number and postcode. We check live stock and logistics availability before your order is confirmed, so every order is 100% guaranteed to arrive exactly as placed — no substitutions, no shortfalls. You choose morning or afternoon for both delivery and collection. We never charge a security or damage deposit. Every hire includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge — other companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover. And with the widest product range in the event hire industry, most customers can source their entire event from a single supplier.
