Hire chairs, tables and event equipment for charity dinners, donor events and community fundraising across England and Wales. Delivery from £40 ex-VAT.
Charities need hire equipment that supports fundraising, community access and careful budget control.
Hiring gives you the flexibility to scale the order to each event rather than holding a stock of tables, chairs and service equipment between infrequent but important dates.
Expo Hire supports charities and nonprofits with front-of-house stock and the quieter working stock behind it. That matters because most jobs slow down in the support spaces before they fail on the guest floor.
You can combine stock from Chair Hire, Table Hire, Catering Equipment Hire, Glassware Hire and Linen Hire in the same order.
A useful order starts with the pressure point in your operation, then adds the support stock that keeps service moving. If the venue or site already covers one part of the job, you can use hire to fill the gaps rather than replace the whole setup.
Professional users often hire on repeat because the stock is visible online, the pricing is clear and the order can scale around each live brief. You can book a modest top-up for one room or a larger package that covers furniture, tableware, bars and back-of-house equipment in one run.
Regular business customers can apply for trade or credit accounts. Larger future-dated orders can also use the large-order deposit scheme where it applies, which helps when a brief lands months ahead of delivery day.
Because the service is dry hire, your venue team, caterer or crew keeps control of the final layout. Our drivers deliver the stock clean and tested, but they do not install equipment, connect gas or move items up and down stairs.
The strongest orders start with the task that would otherwise slow the job down. That may be guest seating, bar support, conference overflow, a marquee build or temporary kitchen capacity.
| Type | What professionals usually hire |
|---|---|
| Order type 1 | gala dinners often need banquet furniture plus strong display support |
| Order type 2 | community days need shelters, seating, trestles and queue-control pieces |
| Order type 3 | donor receptions often need poseur tables, lounges and bars rather than full dining layouts |
If the order includes refrigeration, ask for delivery the day before so the units can pre-cool for 6 to 8 hours. If it includes LPG equipment, appoint a competent person to connect it and confirm that the venue or site will allow it.
Standard hire runs for 3 days: delivery day, event day and collection day. That structure suits most event jobs because it gives you time to build, trade or host, then clear the stock without forcing everything into one shift.
Expo Hire delivers across England and Wales. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT and is calculated by distance from the nearest depot. Equipment arrives clean and tested. The service is dry hire, so your team, venue staff or caterer place the stock in final position after delivery.
Drivers do not set equipment up, connect gas or carry items up and down stairs. If the order includes refrigeration, ask for delivery the day before so the units can pre-cool for 6 to 8 hours. LPG equipment must be connected by a competent person. Fixed installations need a Gas Safe engineer. Many commercial catering items need a 16A or 32A supply rather than a standard 13A socket.
Build the order online at expohire.com once the dates, quantities and venue details are ready. The basket shows live stock and pricing, so you can size the job around the real guest count or room plan rather than a rough estimate.
