Event hire for the Temple of Minerva Botanical Gardens, Bath.
The Botanical Gardens in Somerset present a distinct environment for event organisers. Arranging temple minerva wedding hire bath requires commercial grade equipment that suits both historic architecture and outdoor spaces. As the UK's first fully online event hire company, Expo Hire supplies professional event planners, independent caterers, and private organisers with furniture and catering equipment. You place all orders directly through our website without needing a phone call. We require no security deposit for any booking, and you can secure orders over £500 with a 25% advance payment. The EventPro® own-brand furniture collection features items manufactured specifically for the hire trade, guaranteeing commercial durability.
The internal space accommodates intimate ceremonies of up to 35 guests. Larger gatherings utilise the lawn area for up to 100 attendees. This split between indoor and outdoor zones dictates your equipment list. Sourcing the right chair hire sets the tone for the ceremony. Natural wood Chiavari chairs match the botanical surroundings and provide a traditional aesthetic. Limewash variants offer a lighter finish for summer events. You can stack these chairs to clear the room for an evening reception. We hold thousands of chairs in stock across our 11 regional depots.
Expanding your event onto the lawn requires dedicated outdoor event hire equipment. We stock commercial outdoor furniture that withstands unpredictable weather. Rattan Bistro sets create casual seating areas on the grass or patio. For a relaxed drinks reception, modular Lounge furniture gives guests a comfortable place to sit away from the main dining area. You can arrange these modular pieces into long runs or U-shapes to suit the specific dimensions of the garden.
Dining layouts depend entirely on your guest numbers and marquee dimensions. Round 6ft circular tables seat up to ten guests and encourage conversation during a formal wedding breakfast. Standing receptions benefit from tall poseur tables paired with metal or wooden bar stools. Marquee setups often require long rows of seating, and our folding banqueting tables connect end-to-end to fill large temporary structures. Wooden trestle tables feature folding metal legs for rapid transport and storage.
Fabric choices complete your dining setup. Crisp white tablecloths present a formal appearance for traditional ceremonies. Earthy tones blend well with the garden setting, and our oatmeal or stone coloured tablecloths add texture to your tablescape. We also stock fitted chair covers to unify mixed seating arrangements. You can match your napkin colours to your floral displays or corporate branding.
Serving food and drink to 100 guests requires substantial tableware quantities. We supply matching crockery in classic white porcelain or rustic stoneware. Your drinks reception needs specific glassware for different beverages. We stock standard wine glasses for table service, tall champagne flutes for toasts, and specialised cocktail glasses for evening bars. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver to cover accidental breakages. You also benefit from our "Send It Back Dirty" service. Your catering team packs away the unwashed crockery, wine glasses, and cutlery into our crates, and we handle the cleaning at our Birmingham depot.
Independent caterers working at the venue need reliable equipment to store and prepare food. We deliver commercial fridges to keep beverages chilled throughout the day. Mobile bar equipment gives your staff the tools they need to serve drinks at volume. You can hire ice wells, optic stands, and cocktail shakers to complete your bar setup. We supply essential cutlery, from basic sets to specialised steak knives and dessert spoons.
The venue also hosts corporate away days and brand launches. Business events require functional display and networking furniture. We stock display tables for promotional literature and lockable display cabinets for valuable merchandise. Breakout sessions work well with casual lounge seating. You can construct a focal point for networking using a modular bar and matching stools. Evening events gain a modern aesthetic with illuminated LED furniture. These battery-powered units require no trailing cables, making them safe for outdoor use.
As daylight fades, outdoor spaces require climate control and shelter. We supply gas patio heaters to warm the terrace. You can also explore our broader patio heater hire category for electric alternatives. Sudden rain requires immediate shelter, and our commercial gazebo hire provides waterproof cover for outdoor bars or acoustic musicians. You can link multiple gazebos together using our guttering attachments to form larger covered areas.
Coordinating deliveries to historic gardens demands precise timing. Our transport team calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on the road distance from our nearest regional depot. You receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery. Our drivers unload your equipment at the specified drop-off point. We operate a strict dry hire service. Your team handles all setup and arrangement. We return after the event to collect the items. This direct delivery model removes the need for you to hire vans or manage transport logistics.
Small details dictate the success of your event. You can scatter outdoor seating across the grass to encourage guests to explore the gardens. Casual events benefit from waterproof bean bags for relaxed lounging. Your menu dictates your tableware choices. Formal dinners require multiple Plates for each course. Casual bars need durable beer glasses that withstand heavy use. Festival-style catering works best with our street food serving dishes. We stock all these items in high volumes to support events of any scale. You can also hire champagne flutes in bulk crates for large-scale toasts.
Expo Hire displays all prices and live stock levels directly on the website. You never have to wait for a quote or speak to a sales representative. We supply equipment to major organisations including the BBC, ITV, and Cambridge University. Select your event dates on any product page to check availability.
