Outdoor Cinema Event Equipment Hire: Seating and Furniture

Audience comfort dictates the success of any film screening. We supply thousands of seats from our 11 regional depots. You can book traditional wooden deckchairs for a classic summer festival aesthetic. For larger groups, our wooden picnic benches seat up to six adults and include a 50mm parasol hole. Our EventPro® folding chair hire inventory supports large-scale audiences requiring high-density seating. We do not charge a security deposit on any furniture orders, keeping your upfront costs low.

Catering Stations and Mobile Bars

Filmgoers expect food and drink options before the opening credits roll. You can set up dedicated refreshment zones using our folding trestle tables and pop-up food stands. For drinks service, we supply modular mobile bar units with built-in ice wells and speed rails. Hiring glassware or catering equipment includes our "Send It Back Dirty" service. You return the items unwashed in their original crates.

Heating and Weather Protection

Temperatures drop rapidly during evening screenings. Keeping your audience warm prevents early departures. We stock 13kW gas patio heater hire units that radiate heat up to a 15-square-metre radius. For sudden rain showers or dedicated vendor stalls, our commercial gazebo hire options provide immediate shelter. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches or minor wear during your event.

We deliver direct to your site from our Birmingham headquarters and regional depots, with delivery starting from £40 ex-VAT. On delivery day, you receive an SMS with an ETA and a live vehicle tracking link. No other UK hire company offers live order tracking for both delivery and collection.
