The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything. We're proud to serve Skelmersdale, bringing our event hire essentials to your celebrations right here in Lancashire. We understand that your event is a unique reflection of your style and aspirations, and our mission is to provide the high-quality hire items that make your vision a tangible reality, creating memorable experiences for you and your guests.

Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. Chiavari chairs are the wedding staple: black gives sharp sophistication, perfect for formal banquets or evening receptions; white offers a fresh, airy feel, ideal for bright, daytime celebrations or a classic, timeless aesthetic; and limewash provides a beautifully rustic warmth that perfectly suits barn conversions, country houses, and outdoor marquees. The Wishbone chair, with its elegant, subtly curved lines, adds a sculptural quality to any setting, making for strong, artistic wedding photos and bringing a touch of modern design to your dining experience. The Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural, a perennial favourite at vineyard weddings, garden parties, and any event seeking an organic, earthy feel. For more casual affairs, or even as delightful accents that add character, our bean bags and sofas & lounge sets can create wonderfully relaxed seating areas, perfect for creating cosy chill-out zones at garden parties, informal gatherings, or even as unique additions to a festival-style wedding.

A 6ft circular banqueting table is a classic choice for sit-down meals, comfortably seating up to 10 guests and fostering an atmosphere of lively conversation and shared enjoyment. For events where a different layout is preferred, our 8ft rectangular tables are exceptionally versatile, ideal for creating long banqueting styles, facilitating buffet service, or arranging seating in a way that suits the unique flow of your event. For drinks receptions, cocktail hours, or standing networking events where mingling is key, our sleek poseur tables, often paired with our comfortable bar stools, create an instant, sophisticated cocktail atmosphere. If your event leans more towards a casual bar vibe, our extensive bar furniture range, featuring a variety of counter styles and accompanying stools, will fit right in, helping you to set the perfect scene.

Skelmersdale, or 'Skem' as it's affectionately known locally, boasts a rich history stretching back to its mention in the Domesday Book. Today, it’s a vibrant and dynamic town, home to significant distribution centres and a thriving light manufacturing sector. This fascinating blend of deep historical roots and modern industrial activity means we cater to an incredibly diverse range of events. From engaging staff parties and innovative product launches held at local business premises to joyous birthday celebrations and heartwarming community gatherings taking place in village halls and private residences, we deliver the essential hire equipment for them all. We've had the privilege of supplying furniture for everything from intimate small family get-togethers where extra seating is a lifesaver, to larger, more elaborate corporate functions requiring a polished presentation. Even private parties held at home can be transformed and made infinitely more comfortable for your guests when you're entertaining a crowd, with our extensive range of tables and chairs.

Our services extend to nearby towns and villages, with Ormskirk, Southport, and Wigan all being within easy reach, and we frequently supply events in these neighbouring areas too. Venues across the entire region often require a specific look and feel to perfectly match the occasion. For truly formal dinners, imagine classic, elegant chairs complemented by crisp, pristine tablecloths that speak of sophistication. For a more relaxed, bohemian, or casual atmosphere, perhaps for a summer fete, a village fair, or a laid-back outdoor party, our dedicated outdoor furniture collection, which includes charming benches and sturdy picnic tables, truly comes into its own. We also offer essential gazebo hire, which is invaluable for providing reliable shelter at outdoor events, offering protection and comfort for your guests, come rain or shine, ensuring your event can proceed smoothly regardless of the weather.
