The right equipment makes all the difference. Whether you're hosting a grand wedding reception, a crucial corporate event, a lively festival, or a more intimate gathering, getting the furniture, tableware, and catering essentials sorted is key. We're Expo Hire Wakefield, and we deliver exactly what you need, when and where you need it, across Wakefield and the surrounding West Yorkshire area.
Wakefield hosts a fantastic variety of events. We regularly supply our hire items to everything from black-tie balls at historic venues like Thornes House to informal marquees in village halls around areas like Normanton and Pontefract. Think about community fairs in Ossett, student events at the University Campus, or even product launches for businesses dotted around the A Wakefield’s event calendar is diverse, and we cater to it all.
For weddings, the focus often starts with the seating. Our range of chairs is extensive. If you're going for something classic, our Chiavari chairs in natural or painted finishes are a consistent favourite, especially for formal banquets. For a more rustic or relaxed vibe, the Cross Back chair in oak works wonderfully, particularly well suited to barn venues or marquees. We also offer banqueting chairs which are robust and comfortable for longer seated meals.
Then come the tables. For banquets, our 6ft circular tables are standard, seating up to 10 guests comfortably. For more structured layouts or conference-style events, our rectangular tables are ideal. And for drinks receptions or standing events, poseur tables with appropriate bar stools create a sophisticated standing area.
It’s not just about the furniture. The details matter. We supply all the crockery you'll need, from delicate dinner plates and side bowls to serving platters. Our cutlery sets are durable and look good on any table setting. And of course, the glassware. Whether you need crisp wine glasses for a formal dinner, sparkling champagne flutes for toasts, or sturdy beer glasses for a more relaxed occasion, we have you covered. Don't forget the bar accessories for behind the bar itself.
Linen can tie everything together. Our tablecloths come in various sizes and colours to complement your theme, and they fit our tables perfectly. We also offer napkins and chair covers if you're looking to dress up your seating.
For outdoor events or those needing a bit more space, we offer gazebo hire and effective patio heaters to keep guests comfortable as the temperature drops. These are invaluable for garden parties, summer fetes, or any event extending into the evening.
Catering equipment is another area we excel in. For larger events, consider our BBQ hire for a fun, casual food option. If you're serving hot drinks, our commercial urns and beverage equipment are essential for keeping things flowing. We also have fridges and freezers to keep your food and drinks perfectly chilled, and warming equipment to keep dishes hot.
Wakefield's specific needs often lean towards practical, reliable equipment that can handle a range of events. We see a lot of demand for stackable chairs for community events, robust banqueting tables for functions, and essential beverage equipment like urns for teas and coffees. People organising corporate events often require a mix of lounge furniture for breakout areas and smart poseur tables for networking.
