Table and Chair Hire across England and Wales

Tables and chairs make up most of a venue's floor plan. Get the quantities wrong and your room either feels cramped or looks half-empty. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade furniture hire to professional event organisers across England and Wales, with live stock and pricing online so you can plan the layout before you commit.

Chair hire for events

Chiavari chairs suit formal dining — weddings, gala dinners, charity balls. They stack well and hold up to heavy use over a multi-day event. Banqueting chairs with padded seats are the standard choice for conferences and awards nights where guests sit for two or three hours. For outdoor events or temporary auditoriums, folding chairs keep transport and setup straightforward.

All seating arrives clean and tested. Every order includes our Free Minor Damage Waiver, so accidental scuffs during a busy function don't turn into a claim.

Table hire for events

Round banqueting tables seat up to 10 guests and work well for formal dinners where conversation between guests matters. Trestle tables handle buffets, registration desks and top tables — the rectangular format fits narrow spaces and long dining rows. Poseur tables are the right choice for drinks receptions and networking zones where guests stand and circulate.

Add linen hire in the same order to dress the tables in your event colours. We stock tablecloths for every table size in our range.

Getting the quantities right

Most formal dinners need one round table per eight to ten guests, plus extra for the top table and service. Corporate events often add a registration desk at the entrance and a separate poseur table area for drinks. The product pages show live availability for your dates — select your hire period and the site shows exactly how many items are in stock at your nearest depot.

Delivery and collection

We deliver from 11 depots across England and Wales. Delivery is calculated by road distance from your nearest warehouse, starting from £40 ex-VAT. On delivery day, your team gets an SMS with a driver ETA and a live tracking link. We collect the equipment after the event.

No deposit is required. For orders over £1,000, you can pay 25% upfront to secure the stock. Select your dates on any product page to check availability and place your order.

Six things no other hire company in the UK offers. We deliver and collect seven days a week — no other hire company does. We are the only hire company to offer live order tracking for both delivery and collection; track your driver in real time by order number and postcode. We check live stock and logistics availability before your order is confirmed, so every order is 100% guaranteed to arrive exactly as placed — no substitutions, no shortfalls. You choose morning or afternoon for both delivery and collection. We never charge a security or damage deposit. Every hire includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge — other companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover. And with the widest product range in the event hire industry, most customers can source their entire event from a single supplier.
