Linen categories

  • Cloths and towels — glass cloths, bar towels and service cloths for catering and bar operations

Tablecloth hire for events

Tablecloths are available in circular, rectangular, fitted and poseur styles. A floor-length cloth gives a formal, dressed look suited to weddings and award dinners. Fitted tablecloths are a more practical option for exhibitions and conferences where the cloth needs to stay in place during the event.

Chair cover hire

Stretch lycra chair covers fit over standard banqueting chairs and change the appearance of venue seating at low cost. Sashes in organza or satin tie around the cover to add a colour accent. Covers are available in white and ivory as standard. For events with a specific colour scheme, sashes carry most of the colour, so the cover itself can remain neutral.

Napkin hire

Fabric napkins come in white and a range of colours. A colour-matched napkin and sash combination is the most common way to bring a colour scheme into a table setting without a large additional cost. Colour availability changes with stock, so check the product pages for current options.

How to choose the right tablecloth size

The correct tablecloth size depends on the table dimensions and how much drop you want at the sides. For a formal event, a floor-length cloth has a drop that reaches the ground. For a buffet or conference table, a mid-length drop of around 30cm either side is more practical.

As a guide:

  • A 6ft (183cm) trestle table measuring 183cm x 76cm takes a 274cm x 183cm rectangular cloth for a floor-length drop
  • A 5ft (152cm) round table takes a 305cm circular cloth for a floor-length finish
  • A 6ft (183cm) round table takes a 360cm circular cloth for a floor-length finish
  • A poseur table (typically 60cm x 60cm) takes a 130cm or 140cm circular cloth depending on leg height

If you are unsure, the product pages include a size guide for each cloth type, or call the team before placing your order.

Events that use hired linen

Weddings are the main occasion for linen hire at scale. A typical wedding table plan calls for a floor-length tablecloth per table, napkins per cover and a poseur tablecloth for the bar area and drinks reception tables. Chair covers and sashes add a dressed look to standard banqueting chairs. For a 100-guest wedding across 10 tables, expect to hire 10 tablecloths, 100 napkins, 100 chair covers and 6 to 8 poseur table covers.

Conferences with a catered element usually need tablecloths for dining tables, a buffet cloth for the food service area and sometimes a colour-matched napkin. The emphasis at corporate events is on a clean, consistent presentation rather than decoration, so plain colours in white, ivory or black are the most common choice.

Award ceremonies benefit from linen that matches the event branding. Coloured napkins, sashes in the company or charity colour and a full floor-length cloth on every table lift the overall look without a large increase in cost.
