Organising a corporate function at the Motorpoint Arena or a private celebration at Wollaton Hall demands precise logistics. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade furniture and catering gear to professional organisers across the East Midlands. Sourcing event equipment hire nottingham requires a supplier that holds high stock volumes and delivers on time. We operate 11 regional depots across England and Wales, giving you access to thousands of items ready for dispatch. You place your order entirely online, with live pricing and stock availability visible on every product page. We supply named clients including the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and the Commonwealth Games, bringing the same commercial-grade equipment to every single booking.
Chair choice dictates the layout and aesthetic of your room. Our Chiavari chairs remain a staple for formal dining. You can hire these in black for corporate galas, white for traditional weddings, or limewash finishes for rustic barn settings. Event planners seeking a distinct profile often select the Wishbone chair, which brings a strong architectural element to table settings. For rural themes at venues like country estates, the Cross Back chair in oak delivers a natural wood finish that photographs well. We manufacture our own EventPro® furniture range specifically for the hire trade, avoiding retail-grade chairs and tables that fail under heavy use.
Seating large groups requires sturdy foundations. A 6ft round table accommodates 10 guests and suits traditional banquet layouts. Rectangular formats, such as our rectangular banquet tables, seat 8 people and work well for long, communal dining setups. We also hold extensive stock of poseur tables for standing receptions. Pairing these high tables with illuminated LED cubes creates a modern focal point for evening events. Add our crisp linen hire to complete your table presentation. Every order benefits from our Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches and minor wear at no extra cost.
Supplying Exhibitions and Trade Shows
Supplying trade shows at the East Midlands Conference Centre or Trent Bridge Cricket Ground involves moving large quantities of stock. Exhibition builders rely on our specialised furniture, including display tables and glass display cabinets to present products securely. Managing foot traffic requires sturdy barriers to define queue lines and VIP areas.
Breakout zones give delegates a place to network away from the main exhibition floor. You can build relaxed seating areas using our lounge furniture and oversized bean bags. We never charge a security deposit, freeing up your budget for other aspects of your production. For large-scale corporate bookings over £500, you have the option to secure your equipment with a 25% advance deposit.
Professional Event Equipment Hire Nottingham
Serving hundreds of guests requires exact quantities of matching tableware. We supply crockery and cutlery to independent caterers and hotel banqueting teams across the city.

You pack the used plates and forks back into their crates, and we handle the cleaning at our depot.

Kitchen and Bar Appliances
Storing and preparing food safely on location requires commercial appliances.

For outdoor cooking at summer festivals, we supply heavy-duty BBQ hire units that run on propane gas. Keeping drinks flowing at high-volume bars requires dedicated beverage equipment, from water boilers to coffee percolators.
