Start Planning Your Event Today

Exhibition organisers need furniture that helps exhibitors, visitors and the organiser team share one venue without losing control of the floor.

Hiring lets you scale organiser zones, feature areas and hospitality spaces to each show, and it gives exhibitors a simple source for stock outside the shell-scheme basics.


Why hire from Expo Hire

  • Sunday delivery and collection available.
  • Live order tracking on every delivery and collection.
  • Every order confirmed before payment. No substitutions and no shortfalls.
  • No security deposit. No damage deposit. Standard hires do not carry either charge.
  • Free Minor Damage Waiver on every hire. Normal accidental breakages are covered.
  • One supplier for the full event order. Chairs, tables, catering equipment, glassware and linen from one place.
  • Live chat support seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.

What we supply

Expo Hire supports exhibition organisers 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.

  • Registration desks, barriers and admin furniture for organiser control.
  • Display cabinets, counters, stools and poseur tables for stands and feature areas.
  • Bars, coffee points and lounges for VIP, speaker or press spaces.
  • Extra tables and storage for passes, sponsor packs and late changes.

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.

How it works for professionals

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.


Common order types

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.

TypeWhat professionals usually hire
Order type 1organiser zones need stronger admin and storage support than most first plans allow
Order type 2feature areas need cleaner display furniture than shell-scheme basics provide
Order type 3VIP or press rooms often need their own hospitality stock and side seating

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.


How hire works

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.


Ordering

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.

If you need help with quantities, carriage or specialist equipment, call 0800 910 1100 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. If the order needs sign-off before payment, use the basket as the base for an internal quote.

Add access notes, room names, hall numbers, stand details or site contacts before checkout.
