Planning an event in Mablethorpe or the surrounding Lincolnshire coast means you're thinking about more than just the date and the guest list. It’s about creating an atmosphere, a feeling. And that's where the hire equipment comes in. Expo Hire understands that a wedding reception, a corporate gathering, or even a large birthday party hinges on the details – from the tables and chairs to the glassware and the practical bits that keep things running smoothly. We aim to be your trusted partner, ensuring every element contributes to a memorable occasion.
Here in Mablethorpe, we see a real variety of events. We regularly supply equipment for seaside weddings, often with a relaxed, natural feel, and also for those more formal family celebrations. The stunning coastal backdrop lends itself beautifully to both, and our extensive inventory can cater to any aesthetic. The local community also hosts a number of business events, conferences, and team-building days, particularly as the tourism season picks up. The vibrant energy of these gatherings is something we love to support. And of course, there are the annual festivals and fairs that bring the coast alive – from summer carnivals to festive markets, each requiring a unique set of equipment to ensure success.
When it comes to seating, chairs are critical. They form the visual foundation of your dining or reception space and directly impact guest comfort. For formal events, our Chiavari chairs in classic gold or silver always look smart and exude elegance, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication. For a more relaxed vibe, perhaps suited to a barn conversion or a marquee overlooking the sea, the Cross Back chair in oak is a consistent favourite, offering a rustic charm that complements natural surroundings. We also offer the Wishbone chair, also known as the Hans Wegner CH24 inspired chair, which adds a touch of Scandi-inspired design that’s very popular, bringing clean lines and a light, airy feel.
Tables are the foundation for any dining or display. They need to be sturdy, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing. Our 6ft round banqueting tables are perfect for a traditional sit-down meal, seating up to 10 guests comfortably, fostering conversation and a sense of togetherness. If you're looking for something a little different, or for a more informal networking event, our 1.8m round display tables can work well, offering a slightly more compact footprint. Alternatively, consider our 12ft trestle tables which can be arranged in various configurations – from long banquet styles to intimate clusters, offering maximum flexibility for your layout.
For events needing a dedicated bar area, we have a good selection of bar furniture. From the sleek poseur tables that encourage mingling and create a chic cocktail setting, to the matching bar stools, you can create a functional and stylish hub for your guests. Think about the height of your bar stools in relation to your tables – a standard poseur table is around 105cm high, so stools around 75cm are ideal for comfortable access and a good social flow. We also offer various bar units themselves, depending on your event's scale and needs.
Mablethorpe itself is a lovely spot, but you might also be looking at venues in nearby towns and villages for your special occasion. We regularly deliver to the likes of Louth, with its market town charm and excellent independent venues, Skegness, a bustling coastal resort that draws crowds year-round, and Alford, a historic market town. Many of these areas boast beautiful country houses, hotels, and community halls that serve as excellent event spaces. For example, if you're considering a wedding venue near the coast, you’ll find a range of options from grand hotels with sea views to more intimate, rustic settings like converted farm buildings or charming village halls. Our delivery network extends to cover these diverse locations, ensuring your chosen equipment arrives precisely where and when you need it.
Beyond the essential furniture, the smaller details make a big impact and elevate the guest experience. We supply a full range of crockery, from elegant dinner plates to precisely sized side plates and versatile bowls, ensuring you have the right size for every course, from canapés to desserts. Our cutlery sets are always polished and ready to go, with a choice of traditional or more contemporary styles. And of course, the right glassware is essential. We have a comprehensive selection of wine glasses in various shapes and sizes, sophisticated champagne flutes for those celebratory toasts, and beer glasses to suit every drink offering, from lagers to ales. For a more casual event, or a street food themed gathering, consider our street food style bowls and trays, adding an informal yet stylish touch.
For catering, the practicalities are key to a seamless food service. You'll likely need cooking equipment if you’re preparing food on-site, such as ovens or hobs, or perhaps just fridge hire to keep ingredients fresh and drinks perfectly chilled. Our warming equipment, like bain-maries and heated display units, is essential for keeping hot food at the perfect serving temperature throughout your event, ensuring every guest enjoys a delicious meal. And don't forget beverage equipment for serving everything from hot coffee to chilled juices, and various serving equipment like stylish platters, robust carving stations, and essential tongs for effortless service.
Outdoor events are a big part of what we do along this beautiful stretch of coast, embracing the fresh air and stunning scenery. Gazebo hire can provide essential shelter from sun or a light shower, creating a comfortable zone for guests, and patio heaters are a must for extending evenings outdoors, especially as the sea breeze can pick up and the temperature drops after sunset. If you're planning a summer garden party, a relaxed barbecue, or an al fresco reception, our outdoor furniture ranges, including comfortable seating and stylish tables, are ideal for making the most of your outdoor space.
