Furniture Hire Stratford upon Avon | Expo Hire

Stratford upon Avon hosts theatre-linked functions, hotel receptions, private estates, and riverside events. Expo Hire supplies chairs, tables, linen, and accessories to venues across Stratford upon Avon and the surrounding area.

Chairs and tables for seated events

A seated dinner in Stratford upon Avon needs chairs that match the venue, tables in the right size, and linen that fits both. For formal dinners, our Chiavari chairs suit hotel ballrooms and marquees. The Cross Back chair suits barns, gardens, and relaxed dining rooms. Stacking chairs cover conferences and high-volume venues where speed of setup matters. Our 6ft round banqueting tables seat 8 to 10 guests and are the standard for formal dining layouts.

Tableware and linen

Furniture alone does not make a table setting. We supply tablecloths and napkins in white, ivory, and black for all standard banqueting table sizes. Add crockery, cutlery, and glassware to the same order so everything arrives on one vehicle. Our Send It Back Dirty service means crockery, cutlery, and glassware come back unwashed. We do the laundering and washing at the depot.

Bar and reception furniture

Drinks receptions, award evenings, and corporate parties use a different furniture mix to seated dinners. Poseur tables keep guests standing and circulating. Bar stools give people a perch without anchoring them to a seat. A bar counter with ice bins, bottle coolers, and spirit dispensers converts any space into a working bar. These items all ship in the same order as chairs and tables.
