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 Oadby and returns to collect everything.
Oadby, being so close to Leicester, sees a real mix of events. We regularly supply tables and chairs for everything from university functions at the nearby University of Leicester to private parties in the larger period homes that dot the area. Leicester Racecourse is a prominent local venue, and we've supplied equipment for countless race days, conferences, and celebrations held there. For more community-focused gatherings, local halls and centres also benefit from our hire services.
The kinds of events we cater to in Oadby are varied. Think christenings and milestone birthdays, where perhaps a mix of banqueting chairs and some more relaxed sofa and lounge furniture might be needed for a more informal setup. Corporate events are also common, often requiring clean, smart furniture like our exhibition furniture for displays or more formal seating arrangements for dinners. And of course, we support private functions and parties held in homes or hired spaces, bringing in everything needed to make a gathering comfortable and stylish.
Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. Chiavari chairs are a popular choice for slightly more formal occasions, offering a clean, classic look. If something a bit more understated is needed, our Wishbone chairs add a sculptural quality. For a more rustic or relaxed feel, which suits some of the lovely older properties in and around Oadby, the Cross Back chair in oak is a firm favourite. We also have simpler banqueting chairs that offer comfort and a solid presence.
When it comes to tables, the 6ft circular banqueting table is a workhorse, seating up to 10 guests comfortably. For more formal dinners or conference-style setups, our rectangular banqueting tables are ideal. We also supply poseur tables and bar tables, often paired with bar stools, for a more social, standing reception or a cocktail area.
Beyond furniture, Oadby events often require a good selection of crockery. This includes everything from dinner plates and side plates to dessert bowls. Matching this is cutlery, and we stock a comprehensive range. For drinks, wine glasses are a must, along with champagne flutes for toasts, and beer glasses for a more casual offering. Our cocktail glasses are popular for parties, and we have bar accessories too.
Catering equipment is another area where we support Oadby events. Depending on the scale and nature of the catering, clients might need fridge hire to keep ingredients fresh, or cooking equipment such as ovens and hobs for preparation. For keeping food warm, warming equipment like chafing dishes and bain-maries are essential. We also provide beverage equipment, including urns for hot drinks, and serving equipment for efficient food distribution.
For events that extend outdoors, or for those seeking to create a distinct outdoor space, gazebo hire provides shelter, and patio heaters ensure comfort even on cooler evenings. Our outdoor furniture range, from simple benches to more elaborate lounge sets, encourages guests to mingle outside.
