The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything.
Keele, with its blend of academic bustle and the quiet charm of Staffordshire, presents a unique backdrop for events. We deliver to a range of occasions here, from university functions and graduation balls to private parties and corporate gatherings. Being close to Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford means we're well-placed to serve the various halls of residence at Keele University, as well as the private homes and function spaces dotted around the area. If you're hosting a wedding reception at a local country house, a conference at a business venue, or a birthday party at home, we've got the furniture and equipment to make it work.
Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. For more formal events, Chiavari chairs are the wedding staple: black gives sharp sophistication, white gives a fresh airy feel, limewash gives rustic warmth that suits barns and country houses. For a graduation or a university ball, our banqueting chairs offer comfort and a smart look, and the Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality that makes for strong event photos. The Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural, a favourite at garden parties or more informal celebrations. For standing events or spaces needing a touch of modern flair, our poseur tables paired with bar stools create a lively atmosphere, perfect for networking events or lively receptions.
A 6ft circular banqueting table is a classic for a reason. It seats 10 people comfortably and encourages conversation. We also offer 18m rectangular banqueting tables which seat 6-8 and are great for creating long table settings or fitting into specific room layouts. For smaller gatherings or more intimate settings, our poseur tables and small bistro tables are ideal. And of course, for any event needing a focal point or a service area, our bars come in various styles to suit your theme.
It's not just about the seating and tables. The details make the difference. Crisp tablecloths set the tone, and we have a range of colours and sizes to match your scheme. Consider napkins to complement them. For serving food, our plates and cutlery are essential. And you'll need glassware. Whether it's wine glasses for a dinner, champagne flutes for a toast, or beer glasses for a more casual affair, we have you covered. Don't forget bar equipment if you're mixing drinks, and fridges to keep things cool.
For those outdoor occasions, especially during the warmer months or for specific events like summer fetes or university open days, gazebo hire provides essential shelter. And to keep guests comfortable as the evening draws in, patio heaters are a must-have. We also supply BBQs for outdoor catering, a popular choice for informal student events or summer gatherings.
Keele is well-served by nearby towns and cities. Newcastle-under-Lyme offers a selection of function rooms and community halls, while Stafford has larger event venues. For larger exhibitions or trade shows, we often deliver to venues in Stoke-on-Trent, which has more substantial exhibition spaces. If you're organising an event at Keele University itself, we are very familiar with delivering to various halls and conference centres on campus. Other local areas that benefit from our service include Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, and the surrounding villages. Common requests for this area include hire for graduation ceremonies, student parties, corporate events at local businesses, and private celebrations in family homes. People here often need durable, practical furniture for university events, alongside more stylish options for weddings and private parties. Outdoor furniture is also a good call for summer events at university residences or private gardens.
