Summer Party Hire

Summer party furniture and equipment hire across England and Wales. Outdoor tables, chairs, patio heaters and tableware delivered to your venue or garden.

Summer Party Equipment Hire

A summer party in a garden, on a terrace, or inside a marquee needs furniture that works outdoors and handles unpredictable British weather. Hire gives you the right equipment for the format without the cost of buying items used once or twice a year.

What You'll Need

Summer party setups range from informal garden buffets to full marquee dinners. The equipment list shifts depending on whether guests are seated or standing, and whether you're under cover or in the open air.

  • Table hire — folding trestle tables for buffets and food stations; round banqueting tables for seated summer dinners; poseur tables for standing receptions
  • Chair hire — folding garden chairs for outdoor seating; banqueting chairs for marquee dinners; bar stools for poseur table areas
  • Patio heater hire — gas and electric heaters for evenings and covered outdoor spaces
  • Linen hire — tablecloths and napkins; white linen suits most summer colour schemes
  • Glassware hire — Pimm's jugs, wine glasses, tumblers and highballs for summer drinks

Planning Your Order

For a summer garden party for 60 guests with a mix of seated and standing areas, a typical order includes 30 to 40 chairs with tables for the seated zone, 8 to 10 poseur tables with stools for the standing area, and a drinks setup including Pimm's jugs, wine glasses and tumblers. Add two or three patio heaters for the evening.

Marquee summer parties need the full banquet setup. Measure the marquee interior before ordering and allow 0.6 to 0.8 square metres per guest for comfortable dining with clear walkways.

Delivery and Collection

Expo Hire delivers seven days a week to all areas of England and Wales. Delivery and collection starts from £40, calculated at checkout by distance from the depot. The standard hire period covers delivery the day before your event and collection the day after.

Summer is the busiest period. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead for weekend events between June and August.
