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 Lincolnshire and returns to collect everything. We're the team you'll want to call when planning anything from a grand wedding reception near Lincoln Cathedral to a bustling beer festival in the Lincolnshire Wolds, or even an important corporate exhibition at the Lincolnshire Showground. We understand this region.
When you're organising an event here, you're often thinking about what creates that key impression for your guests. For weddings, of course, it's all about those photos and the overall feel. Chairs are central to that. While Chiavari chairs are always popular, the classic black and white never fails. For a slightly softer look, limewash Chiavari chairs work particularly well in barns or country houses around the county. The Wishbone chair, or a Cross Back in oak, gives a more relaxed, natural vibe that suits many of the beautiful rural settings Lincolnshire has to offer. For more formal banquets, though, you can't go wrong with our banqueting chairs – sturdy, comfortable, and they look great with a smart chair cover if that's your style.
And then there are the tables. For sit-down meals, our 6ft circular banqueting tables are a standard for a reason – they seat 10 comfortably and encourage conversation. If you're going for a more communal feel, perhaps for a village fete or a street food event in Lincoln itself, our 1.8m round tables are a good option. For exhibitions at the Showground, you'll likely be looking at 6ft rectangular tables for displays, or perhaps some poseur tables for a more contemporary networking event, paired with some bar stools.
We also cater for events that need a bit more buzz. If you’re planning a wedding reception with a dedicated bar, or a festival, then bar furniture is key. We supply everything from full bar units to wooden bar stools and the necessary bar equipment – think ice buckets, speed rails, and the like. Essential for keeping the drinks flowing. And for those warmer months, or any event where you want to extend the atmosphere outdoors, our outdoor furniture range, including patio heaters for when the sun goes down, is a popular choice.
Lincolnshire’s food scene is also thriving, and that means we get asked for a lot of catering equipment. For banquets, it’s often about plates, cutlery, and glassware. We’ve got everything from basic dinner plates and dinner forks to specific wine glasses and champagne flutes. Don't forget the napkins – we have a huge range of colours to match your theme. If you're thinking more casual, perhaps a BBQ or a food truck rally, we can supply BBQs, fridges for ingredients, and warming equipment to keep everything at the right temperature.
We deliver to all sorts of venues across the county. Lincoln itself has historic gems like The Old Hall, which often host events. Out towards the coast, Skegness and Boston have their own unique event scenes. Inland, places like Gainsborough and Sleaford are hubs for local gatherings. And of course, the Lincolnshire Showground is a major venue for larger exhibitions and events. We also frequently supply marquees and private residences, often in villages that don't have dedicated event spaces. We're used to navigating the roads and getting equipment to where it's needed, from the coast to the heart of the county.
What do people typically need around here? For exhibitions, it’s all about creating professional-looking stands. That means exhibition furniture like plain 6ft tables, display cabinets for showcasing products, and often barrier hire to manage flow. For parties and weddings, it’s the classics: chairs and tables, tablecloths, and enough glassware for drinks. Think about how many guests you're expecting and how many drinks they'll likely have – it's always better to have a few extra wine glasses than to run short. For outdoor events, especially with unpredictable Lincolnshire weather, gazebo hire is very practical, as are patio heaters for evenings. We’ve even supplied bean bags and sofas for more relaxed lounge areas at festivals and private parties.
