Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade glassware to events across the East Midlands, from corporate receptions at venues across Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and Lincoln to wedding breakfasts at wedding venues across the Peak District fringes and Lincolnshire. Every order arrives clean and packed in crates. After the event, we collect and wash everything — no washing up required.


Why hire from Expo Hire

Wine, champagne, and sparkling wine glasses

Seated dinners and formal events need the right table setting. Our wine glasses are available in standard and premium styles to suit different budgets and occasions. Champagne service at toasts and receptions works best with tall champagne flutes. We also stock coupes for events with a vintage aesthetic. All glassware arrives clean and inspected.


Beer glasses and cocktail glassware

Pub events, craft beer festivals, and functions with a bar component all need the right vessels. We stock standard pint glasses, lager glasses, and steins. For a cocktail bar setup, choose from martini glasses, highballs, tumblers, and margarita glasses. Matching glass style to what you're serving makes a visible difference to presentation.


How many glasses to order

Order 10–15% more than your guest count to cover breakages and spare glasses during service. For standing receptions where guests carry glasses between areas, allow a little extra. Live stock levels are visible on every product page so you can confirm availability before booking.


Delivery across the East Midlands

We deliver throughout the East Midlands, covering Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire. Glassware arrives packed in crates, clean and inspected. After the event, pack them back and we collect — no washing required. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT. Pair with crockery, cutlery, and linen for a complete table setting.

Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.
