Heanor is a town in Derbyshire, which lies about eight miles northeast of Derby. More than one fifth of the working population of Heanor work in manufacturing, with retail the next biggest employer. While coal mining and textiles used to be the main industries in the area, both declined massively. There is a large factory in Heanor which is famed for its production of Christmas puddings, while there are other light industrial companies on the same industrial estate.
\\\We're proud to deliver event hire to venues throughout Heanor. Some of the items we can deliver include:
\\\Gazebo Hire to Heanor
\\\Holding an outdoor event in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire can be a fun experience when the sun is shining. However, we all know how the weather can change very quickly and sometimes it’s necessary to have some space under cover – especially if you’re the one spending all day outside. A pop up gazebo for hire from us can help make sure your event can be a success even if the weather is less than great.
We deliver gazebos to all kinds of events and have both large gazebos for hire and smaller ones in stock to match up to the covered space you need. All of our pop up gazebos for rent come complete with side walls and weights so you don’t have to worry about sourcing any accessories.

The pop up gazebo packages for hire we offer are designed with commercial specifications in mind. They all come with durable coverings and sturdy poles, and while this means that our gazebos are not that suitable for formal events where presentation is key it also means that our gazebos aren’t cheap and flimsy. Our gazebos also incredibly easy to erect – simply telescope the frame apart until it reaches full size, extend the legs and then put the cover on top
\\\Table Hire to Heanor
\\\It’s not hard to rent tables from us, even if you are new to the whole idea of hiring furniture. We’ve done everything we can to make getting furniture hire as simple a process as possible from picking what you need to getting them delivered to your event in Derby, Nottingham, Leicester or the surrounding area.
There are three basic types of table to choose from when looking through our catalogue, with each table right for a different kind of setting. For example, coffee tables work best with sofas and armchairs, suiting relaxed meeting spaces and breakout areas. Cocktail tables or poseur tables as they are often called are tall and work best with bar stools. These can also be used for stand-up style meetings, with their small diameter allowing them to fit in a small footprint like an exhibition stand.
The most common style of table we hire out are banqueting tables or trestle tables. These are the standard table for any event where people sit and eat like a wedding reception or banquet. There are different sizes of banqueting tables available, and with this in mind we’ve listed on each product page how many people can sit around each one and what size of linen we recommend.
\\\Barbecue Hire to Heanor
\\\The smell of food cooking at an open air event is enough to make most people salivate at the thought of tasty food. Although a private party can easily make do with a small bbq, we understand from experience that our commercial customers need commercial barbecue hire.

The barbecues for hire we stock are chosen with large outdoor events in mind and can easily feed hundreds of guests. The Cinders barbecue is an industry standard and features two separate cooking areas which allows for differing menus without fear of cross-contamination. We also stock gas bottles and wrenches so customers can be sure they have everything they need to get going.

Fridge Hire to Heanor
\\\Need to keep food and drink cold at your next event or occasion but don’t have the fridge space to do it? We work with events and occasions of all kinds along with commercial and pop up kitchens throughout Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to help with fridge hire needs. Our expert drivers deliver fridges to venues throughout the region frequently, helping to ensure that event organisers don’t need to worry about keeping things cold.
We have a selection of fridges for hire on offer at Expo Hire East Midlands. The upright glass-fronted display fridges are one of the most frequently hired products we offer, going everywhere to people such as retailers, exhibitors and event organisers. There are also double door bottle coolers which are great for places such as pop-up bars as an under counter fridge. For customers who are after something a little bit more specialist in nature we also stock wine fridges, counter top fridges and chilled drink dispensers.
We understand how commercial kitchens need space to not only store and chill food but also for preparation. To solve this problem we offer counter fridges with integrated workspaces which are designed for this specific problem and which can be wheeled quickly into position with ease. At the other end of the spectrum, our extra large double door fridges are just what is needed for kitchens with large storage requirements.

Planning Your Heanor Event
Events in Heanor range from corporate gatherings at local industrial sites to community functions in village halls and marquees. Organisers frequently require folding chairs, trestle tables, and durable glassware to accommodate the high volume of attendees at these diverse venues. Catering equipment is essential for events held at sites without full kitchens, especially during seasonal periods when production facilities and businesses host staff celebrations. We provide a full range of practical hire items to support the needs of local businesses and private event planners.
When planning an event in Heanor, allow for extra space when setting up chairs and tables to maintain clear access. For indoor events in older halls, check floor dimensions before booking large quantities of furniture. If you are hosting an outdoor gathering, consider the local terrain and provide heavy duty gazebos to protect against changing weather. We recommend booking enough linen and cutlery for ten percent more than your expected guest count to cover last minute additions or accidental breakages during your event.
