Start Planning Your Event Today

Organising a formal banquet or a multi-day conference requires specific seating. You need commercial chair hire that matches the venue aesthetic and withstands heavy usage. Expo Hire supplies professional event organisers, venue managers, and exhibition builders with seating for any capacity. You can view live stock levels and pricing directly on the website. All bookings take place entirely online without requiring a phone call.

Event Chair Hire Styles

Banqueting chairs, such as the Chiavari or Cheltenham models, provide comfort during long gala dinners. Chiavari chairs come in limewash, natural wood, and gold finishes. Venue staff handle them without difficulty because each unit weighs around 4.5kg. They stack eight high for storage after the event. For corporate gatherings, you might select items from our EventPro® range. We test this own-brand furniture specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use.

Stacking chairs suit seminars and corporate presentations. These feature fabric-padded seats on a steel frame. You link them together to create straight rows. They stack ten high to save space. Plastic conference chairs weigh less and wipe clean in seconds. Venue teams stack these 25 high on a single trolley. Folding chairs work well for outdoor festivals or temporary marquees. Plastic folding chairs fold flat for transport. You fit 50 units on a specialist trolley measuring 1.8 metres in length. These water-resistant seats handle varying weather conditions. Padded folding chairs add comfort for indoor workshops while remaining portable.

Managing Your Chair Hire Delivery

Expo Hire dispatches orders from 11 regional depots. The system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from the nearest location. On delivery day, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA. Our fleet transports everything from a few dozen seats to thousands of units for major exhibitions. You do not pay a security deposit on your chair hire. Orders over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver to cover accidental scratches or scuffs.

After the event concludes, our drivers collect the items at a pre-agreed time. Your staff stack the seats according to the provided guidelines. The logistics team conducts a final count upon collection. You might also need table hire to complete your venue layout. Stock levels update in real time. Select your hire dates to check availability and confirm your booking online.
