Square Tower Wedding Hire

The Square Tower is a Grade I listed building that is one of the oldest parts of the fortifications of Portsmouth, and a venue for corporate and private events. It was built in 1494 as part of the fortifications and served as home for the Governor of Portsmouth. There are four rooms available for corporate events such as conferences, meetings and seminars which can be set up in a range of configurations from 14 to 100 delegates. There are also wedding packages available for couples looking to tie the knot.

We're proud to deliver event hire to the Square Tower. Some of the items we can deliver include:

The Square Tower hosts ceremonies and receptions within its historic stone walls, requiring furniture that respects the character of the Grade I listed structure. For wedding setups, we frequently supply cross-back or Cheltenham chairs to complement the medieval aesthetic. We also provide round banqueting tables for formal dining, alongside rectangular trestle tables for buffet services or gift displays. Couples often hire our white linen, classic glassware, and stainless steel cutlery to complete the table settings, while our catering equipment supports external kitchen teams working within this unique space.

Planning a wedding in this 1494 fortification requires careful consideration of the available floor space. The venue accommodates various capacities, so confirm your guest count before selecting table sizes to maintain clear walkways. Because the building has historical constraints, we recommend measuring your floor plan to account for the thickness of the stone walls. Always check if your chosen layout allows enough room for a dance floor if you plan to host an evening party, as the room configuration directly impacts the flow of your event.

Expo Hire provides reliable delivery services to the Square Tower in Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire region throughout the week. We operate seven days a week to accommodate your specific venue access times and clearing requirements. Our delivery and collection fees are calculated based on the distance from our depot to the Portsmouth site. Please provide your postcode and preferred time slots when requesting a quote so we can accurately schedule your equipment drop-off and the subsequent collection after your wedding concludes.

The Square Tower hosts weddings ranging from small civil ceremonies to larger receptions. Because this Grade I listed building has a historic character, couples often choose our classic wooden cross-back chairs or traditional banquet chairs to match the stone architecture. We regularly supply round tables for guest seating and trestle tables for buffets or gift displays. Our white linen tablecloths and napkins provide a clean look against the ancient walls, while our glassware and durable catering equipment support the needs of your chosen external food and drink providers.

When planning a wedding at the Square Tower, you must consider the floor space carefully. The venue can accommodate up to 100 guests, so check your guest list before booking furniture to avoid overcrowding the historic rooms. We recommend measuring your layout to maintain clear walkways for staff and guests. Since the building is old, floor levels might vary, so keep your table arrangements simple. Always confirm the specific access times with the venue manager to coordinate your equipment delivery with our logistics team.
