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.
Market Harborough, a lovely historic market town, plays host to a surprising number of events. We see everything from village fetes and significant birthday parties to corporate team-building days and larger community celebrations. The town’s blend of traditional charm and accessible location makes it a natural choice for organisers.
We often cater to events held at venues such as the Market Harborough Market Hall, which is a flexible space ideal for larger gatherings. Local hotels like The Angel Hotel and The Three Swans are also popular, as are numerous village halls in the surrounding hamlets. If you’re planning something more outdoorsy, there are plenty of picturesque spots and private estates that can accommodate marquees, and we can supply all the essentials to make them work.
For weddings and larger sit-down events, the choice of chairs is paramount. Chiavari chairs, particularly in gold or clear, are a perennial favourite for formal occasions, lending an air of timeless elegance. For a more relaxed or rustic feel, you can't go wrong with the Cross Back chair in oak; their handcrafted appeal looks fantastic teamed with our 6ft circular banqueting tables, which comfortably seat 10 guests, creating a warm and inviting dining experience. If you need seating for a conference or exhibition, our sturdy stackable chairs are a practical, no-fuss option, ensuring comfortable seating for delegates throughout the day.
Tables are the backbone of any dining event, of course. Beyond our popular round tables, which are perfect for fostering conversation, we also stock versatile 6ft rectangular tables and larger 8ft rectangular tables that can be arranged in various configurations to suit your specific event layout, whether that's for a banquet, a presentation, or a buffet. For drinks receptions or stand-up buffets, our sleek poseur tables paired with comfortable bar stools create a relaxed, social atmosphere, encouraging mingling and networking. And for longer events where guests might need a moment to relax, our plush sofas and lounge furniture add a touch of comfort and sophistication to designated chill-out areas.
When it comes to catering, we supply the essential equipment that keeps things running smoothly and efficiently. For any event involving food preparation, you'll need robust cooking equipment, from powerful ovens to versatile hobs, ensuring your culinary creations are prepared to perfection. For keeping ingredients fresh or prepped dishes chilled, our professional fridge hire is essential, offering ample space and reliable temperature control. And for serving hot food that stays appealingly warm, a reliable set of warming equipment, such as chafing dishes or bain-maries, is key. Don't forget the beverage equipment for drinks service – from large-capacity urns for hot water or mulled wine to efficient water boilers for tea and coffee. Small but vital are our comprehensive range of serving accessories, including serving spoons, tongs, and platters, to ensure seamless food presentation and service.
Naturally, no table setting is complete without the right crockery, cutlery, and glassware. We have a wide range of elegant plates and bowls to suit any menu, from delicate starters to hearty mains, and for glassware, consider your drinks: we have a variety of wine glasses for every varietal, sparkling champagne flutes for toasts, and robust beer glasses for a more casual feel. We even stock a curated selection of cocktail glasses for when you want to add a touch of flair and sophistication to your beverage offerings.
Linen plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic, transforming a plain table into a statement piece. Our beautifully crafted tablecloths come in various sizes and a spectrum of colours, allowing you to perfectly complement your event's theme, and napkins can be provided in a complementary shade or contrasting hue. We also have elegant chair covers if you want to transform simpler chairs into something more regal or refined, adding a polished finish to your seating arrangements.
For outdoor events, especially during cooler months or evenings, our efficient patio heaters are incredibly popular. They create a warm and inviting atmosphere, extending the usability of outdoor spaces long after the sun has set, ensuring your guests remain comfortable. If you're looking for flexible shelter, our gazebo hire is ideal for smaller setups, providing a charming focal point or a practical solution for catering stations, keeping food and drink protected from the elements.
