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.

Seating and tables

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.

Food service and reception areas

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.

Exhibitions and outdoor events

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.

Delivery and booking

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 we do not set a minimum spend. Orders above £500 can use a 25% advance payment option. Build the basket online, check live availability and book the stock your event needs.
