Collectible sellers often need more than a trestle table. You can hire exhibition furniture, tables, chairs, and display cabinets for signed items, premium merch, and fragile stock. If you run photo moments or guest signings, you can add stools, lounge seating, and bar furniture to shape the space.

Expo Hire covers ExCeL London event hire and wider conference and exhibition hire across England and Wales.

Your team faces long visitor days and busy stock checks. You can use tablecloths to cover back-of-stand storage and add beverage equipment for drinks on hospitality stands. Expo Hire collects the hire stock after the event.


What exhibitors and traders hire

For the Love of Fantasy and SciFi is a consumer convention at ExCeL with artist alley tables, retail traders, and themed hospitality areas. Traders typically need trestle tables for display and sales, plus chairs or stools for long show days. Artist alley setups use lightweight folding tables. Larger commercial exhibitors with dedicated stands hire poseur tables, bar units, and lounge furniture for guest interaction areas.

The show runs in August — a quieter period for corporate hire, which means stock availability is generally good. Book at least two to three weeks before the show date. For delivery pricing to ExCeL, enter postcode E16 1XL at checkout.
