Expert event equipment hire for your Midelney Manor occasion.
Midelney Manor. What a place. It's a historic Somerset gem, and when you're planning an event there, you want everything to feel just right. We know this venue, and we know the kind of equipment that makes events here shine, whether it's a wedding, a corporate retreat, or a significant private celebration. We provide the items you need, when you need them, delivered where you need them. No fuss.
The estate itself offers a beautiful backdrop, blending history with the potential for modern event design. For weddings, you might be looking at marquees on the grounds or utilising the more intimate indoor spaces. Corporate events could range from product launches to team-building days, each needing a different feel. Whatever the occasion, the furniture, tableware, and general setup are key. We've helped countless organisers at Midelney Manor and similar venues, so we have a good sense of what works.
For weddings, it often starts with seating. We supply a range of chair hire options that change the atmosphere. Chiavari chairs in gold or ivory are a classic choice for a more formal feel. For a rustic charm aesthetic, the Cross Back chair in oak or limewash works for traditional spaces or a natural-feel marquee. And for something a bit different, the Wishbone chair offers a clean, modern line that still feels organic and works well in a variety of settings.
Then there are the tables. For seated dinners, table hire is fundamental. We have 6ft round tables. These tables encourage conversation and seat up to 10 guests. If you're going for a more formal banquet style, 180cm rectangular tables or our 2.4m rectangular tables are a good choice for creating long, impressive settings. We also offer poseur tables and bar tables, which are perfect for drinks receptions or more casual networking areas.
Linen is where a lot of the subtle detail comes in. Our tablecloths come in a wide range of sizes and colours. Crisp white or ivory provides a clean look. Navy or deep green introduces a richer tone that complements the manor's historic setting. Include napkins. Napkins connect the table setting. We also supply chair covers if you want to unify your seating plan or adapt standard chairs to your theme.
For catering and bar areas, the needs can be quite specific. If you're having a drinks reception, you'll need bar furniture. Our standard bar units are practical, and we also have bar stools to match. For drinks themselves, it's all about glassware. We stock everything from wine glasses and champagne flutes for toasts to beer glasses and cocktail glasses. The right glassware makes a difference to the guest experience.
Beyond the bar, if caterers prepare food on-site, or food needs to stay warm or chilled, our fridges and freezers are essential. We also have warming equipment like bain maries and hot cupboards, which are vital for keeping food at the right temperature. Outdoor events in the Somerset countryside need outdoor furniture like tables and chairs. Patio heaters keep guests comfortable as the evening draws in. We can also supply gazebos for shelter.
Corporate events have a different focus. If it's an exhibition or a trade show element within a larger event at Midelney Manor, then exhibition furniture comes into play. Simple desks or tables suit information stands. Display cabinets protect products. We also have barrier hire for crowd management or sectioning off areas.
One of the things we pride ourselves on is our delivery service. For Midelney Manor, we deliver to your event space. This means if you've booked space in a specific room or are setting up a stand in a marquee, we will deliver the hired equipment right there. No struggling with trolleys through public areas or leaving items at the main entrance for you to move. Our team places items at Midelney Manor venues where customers instruct. We place chairs in rooms, and tables as you instruct. This service helps event managers and exhibitors coordinate other elements.
It's worth remembering that the grounds and interiors at Midelney Manor lend themselves to a variety of event styles. For more relaxed gatherings, consider bean bags or lounge furniture to create chill-out zones. LED furniture can add a modern, vibrant twist to an evening reception, if that fits your brief. We also offer BBQ equipment if you're planning a more informal outdoor feast. And for the essentials, don't forget crockery hire, cutlery hire, and serving accessories from our catering equipment range.
