Manage busy community events with trestle tables, crowd control barriers and folding chairs for stalls, ticket points and refreshment zones. Book online.
This page helps councils, schools, organisers and community venues hire equipment for festivals and fetes. These events often combine stalls, food points, seating areas and activity spaces across one site. Hiring practical event stock gives your team the flexibility to shape the layout around footfall, weather and access instead of making do with scattered venue furniture.
You can hire trestle tables for stalls and ticket points, folding chairs from our chair range and crowd control barriers for entrances, queue lanes and restricted areas. Many organisers also add outdoor furniture from our outdoor section, catering support from our catering equipment range and bars from our hospitality category.
Festival and fete orders usually cover several service zones rather than one dining room. You can book online, choose delivery to the field, school or venue and add extra stock before dispatch if more traders confirm. We do not ask for a deposit. Our team delivers on schedule, and you return the equipment once the site closes and clears.
Build wider queue space than you think you need near refreshments and ticket desks. Crowd movement changes quickly once families arrive together, and a simple barrier run can protect the flow across the rest of the site. If you need flexible equipment for a community event, order online and create the mix that fits your ground plan.
Trestle tables are the workhorse of festival hire. For a stall selling food, crafts, or merchandise, the standard setup is two 6ft trestle tables in an L or U shape. For a refreshments counter serving hot food, add a tablecloth to ground level for a cleaner look and easier access for staff. For a ticket or information point, one 6ft table with two chairs behind it handles most footfall patterns.
Fete and festival events usually run across one day. Delivery the evening before and collection the morning after works well for most sites. For school fetes or sites with restricted access, same-day delivery with early-morning arrival is available. Confirm access and parking for the delivery vehicle when booking — this affects which depot handles the order.
