Venue Managers

Extra furniture, glassware, crockery and catering equipment for venue managers handling large one-off events. Short-notice delivery available.


Expo Hire works with pub and club managers, restaurant owners and event venue operators throughout England and Wales. When a large one-off event pushes capacity beyond what you have in-house, we can deliver the extra furniture, catering equipment, glassware and crockery you need for the day.

Short-notice requests are common in venue management and we are used to working with tight lead times. If you need a quick turnaround, call our team directly. Crockery and glassware can be returned dirty via the Send It Back Dirty service, and the Minor Damage Waiver covers breakages during normal use. For large one-off orders, the Large Order Deposit Scheme secures your stock with a 25% deposit.

How can Expo Hire help venue managers meet demand for large events?

Hosting large scale and one off events can be challenging for the most seasoned venue manager. It can often require setting up additional space to cope with a large influx of guests, and having the capacity to cope with addiitonal demand - be it for drinks, food or even warmth.

At Expo Hire we work with venues up and down the country to help them make their events a success. Whether its large quantities of glassware to cover a beer festival or a range of crockery for a blow out banquet, we can help ensure you have everything needed to meet demand. All availability is shown online to ensure time isn't wasted checking inventory before placing an order, and all cleaning costs are shown up front.

Large outdoor events can be particularly tricky due to inconsistent weather. Our range of outdoor patio heater hire is designed to make it easy to heat large areas of open space, extending the viability of events into colder temperatures while our ranges of gazebos and parasols can help protect against rain and blazing sunshine.

How can we help venue managers with outdoor furniture hire?

Not all venue managers are blessed with storage space to hold all their outdoor furniture requirements. Sometimes, it's necessary for a pub or bar manager to outsource furniture hire to cover an event and this is where we can help.

When space is at a premium, our aluminium tables and chairs for hire are a great solution. These tables and chairs are specifically designed to be used outside, and offer a comfortable but durable solution to any outside furniture needs. They are suitable for both small and larger outdoor areas and are at a comfortable height not only to rest drinks on but to eat snacks and bar food too.

For a more comfortable solution. we recommend our rattan furniture. This furniture rental option is great for creating a more upscale seating area outside that can still deal with the elements. They work well with our patio heaters and low tables to create a relaxed arrangement in front of your projector screen or TV.
