What types of furniture can I hire for an event?

Our furniture hire includes seating, tables, and bar units. Seating options range from formal Chiavari chairs to practical folding chairs, while tables include round, trestle, and poseur styles.

Can I hire items from different furniture ranges in the same order?

Yes, you can combine items from all our furniture ranges into a single order. For example, you can book banqueting tables for a dinner and also hire outdoor furniture for a reception area at the same event.

What access details do you need for my venue?

Please inform us of any access challenges at your venue such as stairs, long distances from the unloading point, or restricted parking. This information helps our delivery team plan and ensures a timely drop-off.

Is there a minimum order value for furniture hire?

There is no minimum order value for furniture hire. Delivery is calculated based on distance, so for smaller orders, collection from our Birmingham warehouse may be more cost-effective.

How do I choose the right number of tables and chairs?

For formal dining, our round banqueting tables seat between 8 and 10 guests. For networking events or receptions, use poseur tables to create standing areas and add bar stools for optional seating.

Chair hire

Event chairs cover a wide range of occasions. Chiavari chairs suit formal dining at weddings and gala dinners. Banqueting chairs with padded seats work for conferences and awards nights where guests sit for long periods. Folding chairs are the practical choice for outdoor events and temporary auditoriums. Bar stools pair with poseur tables for drinks receptions and networking events.

Table hire

Our table hire range covers every standard layout. Round banqueting tables seat 8 to 10 guests and suit formal dining. Rectangular trestle tables handle buffets, registration desks and top tables. Poseur tables create standing areas at networking events, product launches and exhibitions.

Bar furniture

Bar furniture includes mobile bar counters, poseur tables and matching stools. Counter sections are 1.5 metres wide so you can build the serving length you need. Add under-counter fridges and glassware hire to complete the bar setup.

Outdoor furniture

For festivals, garden parties and outdoor hospitality, we stock weather-resistant outdoor furniture. Aluminium and treated frames hold up to unpredictable conditions and wipe down between uses. Pair with our gazebos and patio heaters for all-weather cover.
