Totnes is a special place for an event. You've got the history, the artsy vibe, and the sheer beauty of the Dart Valley. Hosting something here means tapping into all that. Expo Hire is here to support your event, whatever shape it takes, right in the heart of South Devon. We're talking everything from intimate garden parties and elegant weddings to lively corporate gatherings and vibrant community festivals. We deliver and collect across Totnes and its surrounding villages, bringing the essentials so you can focus on creating unforgettable experiences for your guests.
When people plan events around Totnes, they often look to embrace the natural surroundings or the town’s unique character, blending the rustic charm of the countryside with the vibrant spirit of the town. Think about the kind of atmosphere you want to create. For smaller, more intimate gatherings, simple, elegant chairs and sturdy tables are key to setting the right tone. Our Cross Back chairs in oak work wonderfully for a rustic, relaxed feel, especially at barn venues or for a charming outdoor celebration. Their natural wood grain adds warmth and texture. Pair them with our 6ft round tables, which seat 8-10 comfortably and encourage conversation amongst your guests. If you're aiming for something a bit more formal, the Chiavari chairs, especially in limewash for a soft, romantic look or in gold for a touch of glamour, add a sophisticated touch that suits almost any occasion, from formal dinners to celebratory receptions. They look fantastic dressed up with our tablecloths in various colours and fabrics. For those seeking a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic, our Wishbone chairs offer a stylish and minimalist design.
For larger events, perhaps a marquee wedding reception nestled in the South Devon countryside, or a bustling summer fête at a local hall like Ugborough Village Hall, you'll need to think about seamless seating and dining arrangements. Our extensive range of banqueting tables, including the robust and versatile 1.8m rectangular tables, are perfect for creating various layouts. They can be arranged in long, impressive rows for a formal banquet or conference feel, or grouped together in more intimate clusters for a convivial dining experience. And of course, no event is complete without the right tableware. We provide essential plates, gleaming cutlery, and sparkling glassware as part of our comprehensive service. We have everything from practical standard tumblers for casual drinks to elegant wine glasses perfect for savouring local vintages, and delicate champagne flutes, so your guests can toast the occasion in style and celebrate every memorable moment.
Totnes also boasts a lively food scene, with frequent markets and pop-up culinary experiences, often requiring reliable catering equipment. If you’re running a food stall at the market, hosting a street food event, or planning a bespoke catering service, consider our high-quality BBQ equipment for smoky delights, our efficient cooking appliances to prepare a diverse menu, and our essential refrigeration units to keep your ingredients perfectly fresh and your prepared dishes at the ideal temperature. We can supply everything needed to serve your guests, from stylish beverage dispensers for refreshing drinks to fully equipped bar equipment for serving a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. For those wanting to create a dedicated social hub, our attractive bar counters and comfortable bar stools are popular choices. They effortlessly define a space for guests to mingle, relax, and enjoy their refreshments.
Thinking about embracing Totnes's stunning outdoor scenery? The region is blessed with beautiful countryside, making outdoor events incredibly popular. We frequently receive requests for stylish outdoor furniture and effective heating solutions to extend the enjoyment of al fresco gatherings. Our comfortable outdoor furniture sets are perfect for relaxed garden parties, bohemian festival-style events, or simply creating a welcoming seating area. And as the sun begins to set and a gentle chill fills the air, our powerful patio heaters become indispensable. They make a significant difference to guest comfort, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain inviting and usable long into the evening, allowing celebrations to continue under the stars. If you need protection from the elements or a defined space for activities, we also offer gazebo hire, which is perfect for market stalls, creating a charming reception area, or providing shelter for outdoor entertainment.
The general area around Totnes sees a wonderful mix of event needs, catering to diverse communities and preferences. Many clients are organising events in picturesque villages like Ashprington, Harberton, or Diptford, often utilising charming local halls or hosting gatherings on private properties. This means equipment needs can vary hugely, from a few essential tables and chairs for a modest family party to a comprehensive setup for a large-scale wedding or community fair. We also extend our services for events a little further afield, heading towards the historic naval town of Dartmouth or even towards the bustling seaside town of Brixham. Exhibitions or trade shows also occasionally take place in the region, and for these professional events, we have a range of specialist exhibition furniture, including sleek display stands, practical counters, and comfortable seating to create an impactful and welcoming presence.
