Event Hire UK

Event Hire

Expo Hire is a UK event hire company supplying furniture, catering equipment, glassware, linen, and outdoor equipment for events of all sizes across England and Wales. Whether you need chairs and tables for a corporate dinner, bar equipment for a festival bar, or a full catering kit for a wedding breakfast, everything is available online with live stock and live pricing. Our range covers weddings, corporate events, festivals, private parties and charity galas. We display live stock numbers and live pricing on our website. All prices display ex-VAT. We show you the exact total before you check out. Whether you call it event hire or event rental, the range, stock and pricing are the same.

Event furniture hire

Build the foundation of your event with our furniture. Visit our Furniture Hire section to see our complete range. We split this into Chair Hire for seating and Table Hire for dining and displays. We hold enough stock to furnish large arenas or small private marquees.

Catering equipment and glassware

Equip your pop-up kitchen and bar area. Browse our Catering Equipment Hire for ovens, fridges and food preparation tools. Serve drinks using our Glassware Hire collection, which includes wine glasses, flutes and tumblers. Complete your tablescapes with our Linen Hire for tablecloths and napkins.

Outdoor structures and heating

Prepare for British weather. Use our Gazebo Hire to create covered spaces for caterers, bars or guests. Add Patio Heater Hire to warm your outdoor areas into the evening. Keep guests entertained with our Garden Games Hire.

Event day delivery and collection

Every order includes a choice of morning or afternoon delivery and collection slot, and live SMS tracking for the driver on the day. For multi-day events such as festivals or exhibitions, we can schedule collection for the day after your event ends rather than the same evening, so equipment stays available for the full run of the event.

FAQs

Do you supply equipment for private parties?
We supply equipment for both corporate events and private parties. We deliver to residential addresses, hotels, fields and commercial venues across England and Wales.
Do I need to wash the equipment before collection?
We ask you to scrape food debris from plates and empty liquids from glasses. Repack the items in their original boxes. We clean everything in our commercial wash facility upon return.
Can I track my delivery driver?
Yes. We send an SMS tracking link on the morning of your delivery. This link displays the driver location and provides an estimated arrival time.
Do you require a deposit?
We never ask for a security deposit or damage deposit. We include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on all orders to cover small accidental marks.
Can I hire equipment for a multi-day festival or exhibition?
Yes. We hold enough stock to cover multi-day bookings, and our depots can arrange mid-event top-ups if your equipment needs change once the event is underway.
Do you offer a full setup for outdoor events?
Yes. Our gazebo hire and patio heater hire ranges work alongside furniture and catering equipment, so an entire outdoor event can be sourced in one order.
