Event Equipment Hire for Outdoor Gatherings and Functions
Expo Hire Solent supplies event equipment for outdoor events across England and Wales. We deliver seven days a week, providing furniture, catering equipment, and weather solutions for a variety of outdoor functions.
We stock a selection of furniture suitable for outdoor use. This includes durable plastic chairs, folding tables, and picnic benches that withstand different weather conditions. For dining areas, our banquet tables and chairs can be used with covers and linen. We also offer bistro sets for smaller, more informal outdoor spaces.
Outdoor events require planning for various weather conditions. Expo Hire Solent offers pop-up gazebos to provide shelter from sun or light rain. These are easy to erect and suitable for covering seating areas, catering stations, or small stages.
Even on summer evenings, outdoor temperatures can drop. Our patio heaters provide warmth, extending the usability of your outdoor event space. We supply both gas and electric options, ensuring guests remain comfortable throughout your function.
Running a successful outdoor event often involves preparing or serving food and drink outside. We provide catering equipment including barbecues, hot cupboards, fridges, and serving platters. All items are maintained to health and safety standards and are suitable for professional catering setups.

\n\nOutdoor events require hire equipment that handles weather, uneven ground, and access challenges that indoor venues do not present. Folding chairs and trestle tables are designed for outdoor use — they fold flat for transport and assemble on any stable surface. Commercial gazebos provide weather cover for outdoor serving areas and seating zones.
The practical decisions for outside events are: ground condition (firm grass, soft grass, hard standing), vehicle access (width, weight restrictions, surface), power availability (mains or generator), and shelter (gazebo, marquee, or open air). Read the Event Planning Guide for a full outdoor event checklist covering all of these.
