Market Harborough is a market town in Leicestershire, lying in the far south east of the county. It lies to the south-east of Leicester and Oadby, and the south of Melton Mowbray. Once part of Rockingham Forest, a royal hunting forest dating back to the reign of William the Conqueror, it was the headquarters for the King's army during the English Civil War. In modern times Market Harborough is a commuter town, with a large proportion of businesses within the town being small to medium enterprises.

\\\We are proud to deliver event hire to venues throughout Market Harborough. Some of the products we can deliver to you include:
\\\Fridge Hire in Market Harborough
\\\Need to keep food and drink cold at your next event or occasion but don’t have the fridge space to do it? We work with events and occasions of all kinds along with commercial and pop up kitchens throughout Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to help with fridge hire needs. Our expert drivers deliver fridges to venues throughout the region frequently, helping to ensure that event organisers don’t need to worry about keeping things cold.
We have a selection of fridges for hire on offer at Expo Hire East Midlands. The upright glass-fronted display fridges are one of the most frequently hired products we offer, going everywhere to people such as retailers, exhibitors and event organisers. There are also double door bottle coolers which are great for places such as pop-up bars as an under counter fridge. For customers who are after something a little bit more specialist in nature we also stock wine fridges, counter top fridges and chilled drink dispensers.
We understand how commercial kitchens need space to not only store and chill food but also for preparation. To solve this problem we offer counter fridges with integrated workspaces which are designed for this specific problem and which can be wheeled quickly into position with ease. At the other end of the spectrum, our extra large double door fridges are just what is needed for kitchens with large storage requirements.
\\\Chair Hire in Market Harborough
\\\When looking for chair hire, it’s important to take into consideration the kind of chairs for hire needed. We rent chairs of all types to all kinds of events in the East Midlands area – there really isn’t such a thing as a “basic chair”.
Take conferences as an example. A conference can be a really important event for the organiser to get right, so the chairs that delegates sit in need to be perfect. Our conference chairs for hire are not only stackable and durable, but also comfy – something that guests will appreciate when they’re using them all day.
Banquets, weddings, and functions also need the right kind of chairs. Our banqueting chairs for hire are perfect for this kind of events and come in several styles to match any aesthetic. Our banqueting chairs are designed to be stackable so that they can be stored easily before and after an event, and seating configurations can be reset with ease.
Outdoor events require chairs that can withstand the great British climate, and our outdoor chairs for hire meet those expectations and then some. From folding samsonite chairs and aluminium bistro chairs to comfy rattan sofas we’re bound to have what you need.
\\\Gazebo Hire in Market Harborough
\\\Holding an outdoor event in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire can be a fun experience when the sun is shining. However, we all know how the weather can change very quickly and sometimes it’s necessary to have some space under cover – especially if you’re the one spending all day outside. A pop up gazebo for hire from us can help make sure your event can be a success even if the weather is less than great.
We deliver gazebos to all kinds of events and have both large gazebos for hire and smaller ones in stock to match up to the covered space you need. All of our pop up gazebos for rent come complete with side walls and weights so you don’t have to worry about sourcing any accessories.

The pop up gazebo packages for hire we offer are designed with commercial specifications in mind. They all come with durable coverings and sturdy poles, and while this means that our gazebos are not that suitable for formal events where presentation is key it also means that our gazebos aren’t cheap and flimsy. Our gazebos also incredibly easy to erect – simply telescope the frame apart until it reaches full size, extend the legs and then put the cover on top

Patio Heater Hire in Market Harborough
\\\The unpredictability of British weather can make hosting an outdoor event a challenge but you can at least be sure to keep your guests warm with patio heater hire. Event organisers rent patio heaters from us throughout the year so that they are less reliant on good weather. We deliver patio heaters for hire throughout the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire areas.
We offer two kinds of outdoor patio heater hire, which are LPG and electric. Electric patio heaters give off a focused beam of heat which means that they are best used for specific enclosed areas. They need a normal power outlet to plug into as well. For outdoor spaces, gas patio heater hire is far better. These radiate heat outwards in all directions, making them perfect for a proper outdoor function.
[PRODUCT_GRID]
We’ve built up a fair amount of knowledge from hiring out patio heaters, which has helped us to source the best ones possible for you. All of our outdoor gas patio heaters for hire are easy to start, are reliable and fuel efficient. We also supply 13kg LPG bottles separately so you don’t need to worry about where to get one from.
If your space is huge then a space heater for hire might be a better option. These are more industrial in both power and volume, and kick off a tremendous amount of heat to warm up the largest of spaces.

Planning Your Market Harborough Event
Market Harborough hosts a variety of functions, ranging from corporate meetings in local business centres to weddings at rural venues on the town outskirts. Organisers frequently require folding chairs, trestle tables, and professional catering equipment to support these gatherings. For evening receptions in community halls or historic buildings, we supply glassware, crockery, and table linen. Whether you are arranging a trade exhibition or a formal dinner, having reliable equipment is necessary for managing the logistics of your specific venue requirements.
When planning, calculate your equipment needs based on the venue floor plan and guest count. For a seated meal, allow enough space for tables and chairs to avoid overcrowding. Market Harborough features both modern indoor spaces and older, rural properties that may have limited access or uneven ground. Consider these site constraints when choosing furniture. We recommend booking equipment well in advance for weekend dates, especially during the summer season. Check your venue dimensions to confirm that all hired items will fit comfortably.
