Event Hire for Olympia London
Event Hire for Olympia London
Organising a trade show or consumer exhibition at this historic venue demands precise logistics. Sourcing equipment through olympia london event hire | Expo Hire gives you direct access to commercial-grade furniture and catering supplies. We deliver straight to your specific hall or stand number. You skip the manual handling and focus the build on your core objectives. Our team supplies professional event organisers, exhibition builders, and corporate teams with dry hire equipment. You check live stock levels and pricing directly on our website without making a single phone call.
Exhibitors face strict load-in times at major venues. You need your equipment to arrive exactly on schedule. Our delivery network operates from 11 regional depots across England and Wales, bringing your items directly to the capital. On your delivery day, you receive an SMS with an estimated time of arrival. A live vehicle tracking link lets you monitor your driver's progress in real time. This transparency helps your on-site team coordinate the stand build without waiting around. The system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest depot.
Furnishing an exhibition space requires practical, durable items. We supply a dedicated selection of exhibition furniture that withstands high-traffic commercial use. You can select reception desks for greeting attendees, display units for product demonstrations, and comfortable seating for client meetings. Managing visitor flow around your stand or registration area takes careful planning. We stock multiple barrier hire options, including retractable stretch barriers and classic rope and post systems. These help you direct footfall and maintain clear walkways throughout the hall.
Conferences and corporate presentations within the venue's larger spaces demand uniform, comfortable seating. You must keep attendees focused during long keynote speeches. We provide thousands of chairs to accommodate massive audience numbers. For networking lunches or evening gala dinners, you need the right tables and chairs to match the occasion. We stock heavy-duty wooden banqueting tables in 5ft and 6ft circular sizes, accommodating up to 10 or 12 guests respectively.
Pairing these tables with appropriate seating sets the tone for your meal. Our banqueting chairs include several distinct styles. You can hire classic Chiavari chairs in limewash, gold, or black finishes. For a more contemporary aesthetic, the Wishbone chair features a distinctive Y-shaped backrest and a natural wood finish. We also stock specific Chiavari chairs for VIP areas or formal ceremonies. Every chair arrives clean, tested, and ready for immediate placement on your floor plan.
Hospitality zones keep visitors engaged and encourage longer dwell times at your stand. We supply modular bar furniture that you can configure to fit your available footprint. Tall poseur tables provide a natural gathering point for casual conversations and quick meetings. You can pair these with our commercial-grade bar stools, giving guests a place to rest while reviewing your promotional materials.
Serving drinks requires the correct vessels. We hold massive quantities of glassware in our inventory. Your bar staff can serve vintage reds and crisp whites in our standard or crystal wine glasses. Celebratory toasts call for our elegant champagne flutes. For casual evening receptions, we supply traditional pint and half-pint beer glasses alongside specialist cocktail glasses. You never have to worry about washing up at the end of a long shift. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service comes standard with all glassware, crockery, and cutlery. You pack the used items back into their crates, and we handle the cleaning at our depot.
Feeding thousands of attendees requires serious infrastructure. Independent caterers and hospitality managers rely on our catering equipment hire service to build temporary kitchens on site. You can store perishable ingredients and pre-chilled beverages in our commercial fridges and freezers. We stock double-door display chillers, under-counter units, and chest freezers.
During service, your chefs need reliable cooking equipment. We supply six-burner gas ovens, electric convection ovens, and heavy-duty fryers. Front-of-house teams can utilise our bar equipment, including ice buckets, bottle coolers, and optic stands.
Presenting your food to a high standard matters just as much as the taste. We stock thousands of pieces of matching white porcelain crockery, from standard dinner plates to specialist soup bowls and coffee cups. Your guests will appreciate our polished stainless steel cutlery, which we stock in traditional and modern patterns. To complete your dining setup, you can order crisp cotton tablecloths and matching napkins in various colours to match your corporate branding.
Some events extend beyond the main halls into exterior courtyards or require dedicated relaxation zones. We supply weather-resistant outdoor furniture, including aluminium bistro sets and rattan lounge suites. British weather remains unpredictable, so keeping guests warm takes priority. You can hire our gas or electric patio heaters to extend the usability of your exterior spaces well into the evening.
For indoor breakout areas, you might want a less formal atmosphere. We stock bean bags in multiple colours, giving attendees a comfortable place to check emails or recharge their devices. If you want to make a visual impact during an evening reception, our LED furniture includes illuminated cubes, curved bar sections, and poseur tables that glow in your chosen brand colours.
We design and test much of our inventory in-house under our EventPro® brand. This means you receive furniture hire items manufactured specifically for the rigorous demands of the trade, not flimsy retail alternatives. We never ask for a security deposit on your orders. For large-scale exhibitions where your basket exceeds £500, you can secure your items with a 25% advance deposit, paying the balance closer to your event date.
Accidents happen during busy load-outs and crowded public shows. A dropped plate or a scratched chair leg usually results in penalty fees from other suppliers. We include a free minor damage waiver on every single order. No other UK hire company offers this level of protection as standard. You get peace of mind knowing that small breakages will not impact your budget.
Planning your equipment list takes time, but ordering it takes minutes. Our entire catalogue sits online with live stock availability and transparent pricing. You do not need to request a quote or wait for a sales representative to call you back. Adding the required items to your basket and entering your venue postcode allows the system to calculate your exact delivery cost.
Our logistics team has an extensive background navigating major exhibition centres. We know the loading bays, the security protocols, and the strict timelines. You specify your exact stand number during checkout, and our drivers bring the equipment right to your designated space. After the show closes, we return to collect everything, leaving you free to manage your team's departure. Stock levels update in real time. Select your hire dates to check availability and confirm your order online today.
