The right furniture makes all the difference. Every table, every chair, every piece of tableware sets the scene for your guests. Expo Hire delivers event hire essentials across North Yorkshire and collects them afterwards, making it simple for you.
Planning an event in North Yorkshire? Whether you're hosting a wedding in the heart of the Dales, a corporate gathering in Harrogate, a festival in Scarborough, or a private party in a charming village like Grassington, we've got the furniture and equipment to suit. This is a county of incredible variety, from the dramatic coastline to the rolling hills, and your event should reflect that. We understand the needs of events in this region, from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations.
When it comes to seating, your choice of chairs sets the tone for the entire occasion. For elegant affairs, our Chiavari chairs are a classic. In natural wood, they lend a relaxed feel perfect for barn venues, while black or gold offer sophistication for more formal settings. The Wishbone chair brings a modern yet organic touch, fantastic for a contemporary countryside wedding. If you’re going for rustic charm, the Cross Back chair in oak is a perennial favourite, especially at venues like The Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa or The Black Swan at Oldstead.
Tables are the foundation of your event. For banquets, our 6ft round banqueting tables are a popular choice, comfortably seating 10 guests and fostering a communal atmosphere. If you need something more individual, our 180cm round tables are a good option. For more dynamic layouts or smaller groups, rectangular 6ft trestle tables work well, and they're great for buffets too. And of course, we have the stylish poseur tables and matching bar stools, ideal for drinks receptions or more casual, standing-focused events, perhaps at The Crown Hotel in Harrogate or along the coast in Whitby.
For creating comfortable breakout areas or a relaxed lounge vibe, our sofas and lounge furniture can really make a difference. Imagine a cosy corner at a larger exhibition in Harrogate or a relaxed seating area at an outdoor wedding. Outdoor furniture is also key for enjoying the beautiful North Yorkshire scenery. We offer everything from simple benches to stylish bistro sets for gardens and terraces.
It’s not just about the furniture. We also supply all the necessary tableware. Crisp tablecloths in various sizes and colours, including classic white and ivory, will dress your tables. Add coordinating napkins and perhaps chair covers for a cohesive look. On the tables, guests will need plates, bowls, and clean cutlery. And of course, your guests will appreciate the right glassware – from elegant wine glasses and sparkling champagne flutes to robust beer glasses and fun cocktail glasses.
Bars are central to any event's social aspect. We provide everything from functional bar counters to the essential bar equipment needed to serve drinks efficiently. Think about the flow of your event – a well-equipped bar area can make a significant difference to guest experience.
For larger events or those needing a sheltered space, consider our gazebo hire. These are incredibly versatile and can provide cover from sun or rain, acting as a focal point for an outdoor bar, a welcome area, or even a small stage. And to keep guests comfortable in cooler weather, patio heaters are a must for outdoor spaces, extending the usability of your garden or patio area well into the evening. They are particularly effective on terraces at venues like Goldsborough Hall.
Expo Hire also caters for exhibitions and conferences, especially those held in venues such as the Harrogate International Centre. We supply essential exhibition furniture, including display cabinets and simple seating, along with barrier hire for crowd management.
