Equipment Hire for Henley Royal Regatta

Henley Royal Regatta on the Thames in Oxfordshire is one of the most prestigious rowing events in the world and a cornerstone of the English summer social calendar. The five-day event draws 160,000 visitors and supports an extensive hospitality programme, with private enclosures, riverside marquees, and corporate entertaining operations running throughout. Expo Hire is a member of NOEA (National Outdoor Events Association). We supply furniture, glassware, and catering equipment to hospitality operators and caterers at the Regatta.

Riverside Hospitality Furniture

Henley hospitality is formal and the setting is iconic. Our banqueting tables dressed with white or ivory tablecloths and combined with banqueting chairs create the seated lunch and dinner settings that Henley corporate entertainment demands. For drinks receptions on riverside terraces and lawns, poseur tables covered with fitted linen and paired with bar stools suit the standing drinks format typical of Stewards' Enclosure entertaining.

Glassware for Riverside Entertaining

Pimm's and champagne at Henley is as much a tradition as the racing itself. Our champagne flute hire, wine glasses, and tumblers for Pimm's cover the quantities a full five-day hospitality programme requires. Complete with crockery and cutlery. Our Send It Back Dirty policy applies to all tableware.

Catering Equipment

Our catering equipment hire covers commercial coffee machines, under-counter fridges, and induction hobs for hospitality catering support.
