Leeds Event and Catering Equipment Hire

Expo Hire delivers tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware and catering equipment to Leeds and the surrounding area. Leeds has a thriving events scene, with corporate conferences, exhibitions, sporting hospitality and weddings spread across venues including First Direct Arena, the Royal Armouries and Headingley Stadium throughout the year. The city's position as the financial, legal and professional services capital of the North means a consistently busy corporate events calendar, while the two universities keep a full academic events programme running during term time. Leeds's city centre hotel stock and growing creative industries sector also generate a regular calendar of product launches, networking events and awards evenings. Expo Hire covers Leeds and surrounding areas including Bradford, Harrogate, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Otley.

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.
