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 England and Wales and returns to collect everything. For Okehampton and the surrounding areas of mid-Devon, we're your local go-to for event essentials.
Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. Chiavari chairs are a wedding staple; black gives sharp sophistication, white a fresh airy feel, limewash a rustic warmth that suits barns and country houses – and we see a lot of those around Dartmoor. The Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality that makes for strong wedding photos. The Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural, a favourite at vineyard and garden weddings. For more informal gatherings, our bean bags offer a relaxed vibe that's great for festival-style events or chill-out zones.
A 6ft circular banqueting table is the classic choice for weddings and larger dinners, seating 10 guests comfortably. For more intimate settings or buffet-style setups, our 6ft rectangular banqueting tables work well. If you're looking for something a bit more contemporary, especially for drinks receptions or standing buffets, poseur tables paired with bar stools create a sophisticated, social atmosphere.
Okehampton sits on the edge of the stunning Dartmoor National Park, meaning we often deliver to marquees set up in beautiful, rural locations. This often means guests need outdoor furniture for the grounds, perhaps some gazebos for shelter from the sun or rain, and definitely patio heaters for when the Devon evening chill sets in. These are the kind of items that make outdoor events comfortable and enjoyable, even if the weather isn't cooperating.
Beyond weddings and rural marquees, Okehampton serves as a gateway to exploring the National Park, and we see a range of events from local fetes and agricultural shows to corporate team-building days and private parties. For these, bar equipment is often in demand – think bar fridges to keep drinks cool and bar counters themselves. We also supply extensive crockery and cutlery, alongside a full range of glassware, from wine glasses to beer glasses, catering for all types of hospitality. If you're hosting a food event, our BBQ hire or cooking equipment is popular for outdoor catering.
For businesses and organisations, Okehampton also sees its share of trade shows and exhibitions, often held at local community centres or larger venues. For these, our range of exhibition furniture, including display cabinets and barrier hire, is essential for creating professional and functional stands. We understand the need for reliable equipment that sets up easily, which is why our exhibition furniture is designed for practicality.
