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 Devon and Cornwall, and returns to collect everything. If you’re planning an event in or around Newton Abbot, we’re here to help.
Newton Abbot, sitting at the head of the Teign estuary, is a vibrant hub for local community events, cherished private parties, and important corporate functions. We regularly supply essential equipment to the many picturesque villages and towns that surround it, stretching from the dramatic coastal areas to the serene Dartmoor fringes. This extensive presence means we’re intimately familiar with the typical and unique needs of events held in this beautiful part of Devon. Whether you're envisioning an elegant wedding at a historic country house, a lively village fete brimming with local spirit, a sophisticated business lunch designed for networking, or a joyous birthday bash, we have the perfect elements to bring your vision to life.
When it comes to seating, the choice of chair profoundly influences the atmosphere and the visual narrative of every photograph and every table setting. For occasions demanding a touch of elegance and sophistication, our Chiavari chairs are an enduringly popular choice. Available in classic black for a sharp, modern sophistication, pristine white for a fresh, airy feel, and limewash for a beautifully rustic warmth that perfectly complements many of the stunning barns and charming country houses dotted throughout the Devon countryside. The Wishbone chair, with its distinctive, almost sculptural quality, offers a contemporary edge and makes for exceptionally strong and memorable wedding photographs. For those seeking a more relaxed yet effortlessly stylish aesthetic, the Cross Back chair in oak exudes a natural, grounded feel, making it a favourite for vineyard celebrations and enchanting garden weddings. You’ll find many of the beautiful venues around Newton Abbot that would be wonderfully enhanced by this particular style.
To furnish your event spaces, we offer a comprehensive range of tables designed to suit every conceivable layout and guest count. Our small round 6ft round tables are ideal for intimate gatherings of up to 10 guests, fostering a warm and conversational atmosphere. For larger banquets or versatile display areas, our long 10ft trestle tables provide ample space and flexibility. We also provide stylish poseur tables, often paired with our chic bar stools, which are the perfect solution for elegant drinks receptions, dynamic networking events, or simply for adding a distinctly contemporary and sophisticated touch to any party setting.
The right glassware is not merely functional; it significantly elevates the guest experience and adds a touch of refinement to every toast and sip. For discerning wine lovers, we offer a selection of wine glasses in various popular sizes to perfectly complement different varietals. If champagne or sparkling wine is a key feature of your celebration, our elegant champagne flutes are an absolute essential. For those who prefer beer, we meticulously stock a comprehensive range of beer glasses, ensuring every pint is served with style. And for crafting exquisite cocktails, our diverse selection of cocktail glasses provides the perfect vessel. Don’t overlook the importance of essential bar accessories such as stylish ice buckets to keep beverages perfectly chilled and accurate spirit measures for expertly mixed drinks, especially if you're planning to set up a dedicated bar area.
For events aiming for a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, consider integrating our comfortable bean bags. These are particularly perfect for creating inviting chill-out zones at music festivals, lively youth events, or any gathering where a laid-back vibe is desired. Complementing this, our collection of plush sofas and lounge furniture provides an oasis of comfort, ideal for establishing inviting seating areas, whether that's to create a relaxed corner at a wedding reception or a sophisticated lounge space for a corporate event.
When it comes to the practicalities of catering, the requirements are as varied as the events themselves. Many gatherings will undoubtedly benefit from the inclusion of fridges and freezers, crucial for maintaining the optimal temperature of both drinks and food, especially during the warmer spring and summer months. If your event plans include outdoor dining or a celebratory barbecue, our high-quality BBQ equipment is consistently a popular and reliable choice. For the seamless serving of hot food, essential warming equipment such as bain maries is often indispensable. We also expertly supply a comprehensive range of bar equipment tailored for mobile bars, including efficient bottle coolers and robust glass washers to ensure everything runs smoothly.
For those embracing the beauty of outdoor celebrations, our sturdy gazebo hire offers welcome shelter from the elements, while our effective patio heaters are an absolute must for ensuring your guests remain comfortably warm as the evening air cools, effectively extending the enjoyment and usability of your outdoor spaces. To perfectly complete the visual aesthetic of your tables, don’t forget our extensive selection of tablecloths and coordinating napkins. We offer a vast array of colours, textures, and sizes to flawlessly match any theme or colour scheme. For an added touch of polish and elegance, consider our beautiful chair covers, which can transform even the simplest chairs into statements of style.
