Hull Event and Catering Equipment Hire

Expo Hire delivers tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware and catering equipment to Kingston upon Hull and the surrounding area. Hull has a well-established events sector, built in part on the city's 2017 UK City of Culture status, which expanded its venue infrastructure and brought a new generation of events to the city. Concerts and sporting events at Bonus Arena Hull and Airco Arena, corporate dinners, university events at the University of Hull, civic occasions at Hull City Hall and weddings across the East Riding of Yorkshire make up a busy and varied events calendar. The Humber waterfront and the city's maritime heritage also attract outdoor public events and community festivals. Expo Hire covers Hull and nearby areas including Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Brough and Driffield.

How Much Equipment Do You Need?

Order quantities depend on your guest numbers and event format. A seated dinner for 100 typically requires around 110 chairs, 13 round tables, 100 place settings and 200 glasses. A standing networking event for the same numbers needs fewer tables but more glassware.

Expo Hire has no minimum order — you can hire as few or as many items as your event requires. The website shows live stock levels, so you can check availability for your date before ordering. For events over 500 guests, contact the team to confirm stock.
