Folkestone Event and Catering Equipment Hire
Expo Hire delivers tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware and catering equipment to Folkestone and the surrounding area. Folkestone is a Kent port town with a growing arts and creative scene, anchored by the Creative Quarter and the triennial Folkestone Triennial public art event.
