Equipment Hire for Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world, drawing around 200,000 visitors across five days each summer. The site hosts hundreds of food traders, bars, and hospitality operators alongside the headline music programme. Expo Hire is a member of NOEA (National Outdoor Events Association). We supply catering equipment, furniture, and refrigeration to traders, caterers, and event operators across England and Wales.

Catering Equipment for Food Traders

Food traders at Glastonbury cover everything from gourmet street food to traditional festival favourites. Our catering equipment hire covers the full range of commercial kitchen infrastructure. Commercial fryers handle high-volume chip and fried food operations throughout a full festival day. Our LPG ovens are suited to outdoor cooking where mains power is limited - no extension cables, no generator dependency for the oven itself. Griddles and hot plates suit burger traders, breakfast operations, and grilled food stands.

For cold storage, our refrigeration hire includes chest freezers and upright fridges suitable for outdoor trading conditions. Keeping ingredients at temperature throughout a multi-day event is a food safety requirement, and our commercial units are built for continuous operation in temporary environments.

Bars and Drinks Operations

Licensed bars are a major part of the Glastonbury trading community. Our glassware hire covers beer glasses, wine glasses, cocktail glasses, and tumblers in the quantities a festival bar requires. Pair with crockery and cutlery for food service. Our Send It Back Dirty policy covers all glassware and tableware - pack used items in our crates and we collect and wash at the depot.

Poseur tables and bar stools create standing drinking areas in bar concessions and covered hospitality zones. Cover with a fitted tablecloth for a cleaner look in premium bars.

VIP and Hospitality Areas

Glastonbury's Worthy View and Park areas include high-spec hospitality operations. Our sofa hire, chairs, tables, and linen suit the fitout requirements of glamping villages, corporate hospitality areas, and backstage green rooms. For outdoor heating in the Somerset evenings, our patio heater hire keeps guests comfortable after dark.

Outdoor Heating

Even in June, Glastonbury evenings can be cold. Our LPG pyramid patio heaters are suited to outdoor hospitality areas. We supply 13kg LPG bottles so you do not need to source your own fuel. For larger covered spaces, our 15kW space heaters handle bigger areas.
