Event equipment hire wells
Seating arrangements dictate the flow of any function, and selecting the right chair impacts the overall room layout. Traditional venues often require classic aesthetics, making Chiavari chairs in gold or ivory a frequent choice for formal dining and award ceremonies. Their slender profile fits neatly around standard tables, maximising your floor space. Rustic barn venues near Cheddar or Wedmore suit the Cross Back chair in oak. These wooden frames complement exposed beams and stone floors while providing sturdy support for guests. For breakout areas and green rooms, our sofas and lounge furniture provide comfortable seating away from the main dining space. We supply the EventPro® own-brand range, which we manufacture specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use. This guarantees uniformity across large orders.
Table selection depends on your floor plan and catering style. Formal dinners rely on round banqueting tables. The 6ft models seat ten guests and encourage conversation across the table, making them standard for charity galas and corporate banquets. Buffet stations, registration desks, and exhibition stands require rectangular trestle tables. Their straight edges align flush against walls or back-to-back to form long serving counters. Drinks receptions benefit from poseur tables paired with bar stools. These high-top units give guests a place to rest drinks while standing, keeping the room layout open and accessible. You dress these tables using our professional linen hire service, adding matching cloths and napkins to complete the look. We stock multiple sizes to fit every table configuration.
Commercial catering equipment hire
Professional caterers need dependable appliances to execute complex menus on-site, often in venues lacking permanent kitchen facilities. Our catering equipment hire inventory covers everything from preparation to service. Temporary kitchens run on our cooking equipment, featuring six-burner ovens, heavy-duty hobs, and commercial fryers. Safe food storage relies on strict temperature control. We supply commercial fridge hire and freezer units to hold ingredients before service, maintaining compliance with food safety regulations. Hot food holding requires warming equipment like bain-maries and mobile hot cupboards. These units hold plated meals or bulk ingredients at safe serving temperatures during busy service periods. Drink stations operate using our beverage equipment, including high-capacity water boilers for tea and coffee service, alongside pump-action airpots for meeting rooms.
Table settings require matching, commercial-grade items delivered clean and ready for immediate use. White crockery provides a neutral background for plated food, from starter plates to soup bowls and main course dishes. Your table layout needs matching cutlery in polished stainless steel, supplied in bulk quantities for multi-course meals. Drink service demands specific vessel shapes to match the beverage. We stock wine glasses in multiple sizes, champagne flutes for toasts, and standard beer glasses for bar service. Specialty drinks require cocktail glasses. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all tableware. You return the plates, glasses, and forks unwashed, and our depot handles the cleaning process. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental chips or breakages without hidden fees.
Outdoor event infrastructure
Summer festivals, garden parties, and outdoor exhibitions need weather protection and defined boundaries. Commercial gazebo hire provides shelter from rain and creates dedicated zones for pop-up bars, ticketing booths, or first aid stations. Evening temperatures drop fast, making patio heaters necessary for guest comfort. We supply gas-powered heating units that operate independently of mains electricity, allowing placement anywhere on your site. Your exterior spaces also require outdoor furniture. Aluminium tables and chairs withstand the elements while providing practical seating outside marquees or on venue terraces. We also stock folding beer bench sets for casual dining areas, offering high-density seating for large crowds at food festivals and sporting events.
Managing event logistics requires precise timing and reliable suppliers. Expo Hire provides live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA on your delivery day. You track your driver's progress using your order number and postcode, removing the guesswork from your schedule. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, which our system calculates by road distance from our nearest depot. We supply major organisations including the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University, meeting the strict procurement standards of large corporate clients. You do not pay a security deposit on your order, freeing up capital for other event expenses. Large bookings over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option, helping you manage event budgets. Alternatively, you can collect your order from our Birmingham warehouse Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm.
Sourcing event equipment hire wells involves coordinating multiple suppliers, but our extensive inventory consolidates your requirements into a single delivery. Our delivery network covers Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Cheddar, Axbridge, Wedmore, Street, Pilton, Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge, Bridgwater, and the Mendip Hills. We operate a strict dry hire model.
