The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across Wincanton and the surrounding areas, and we return to collect everything.
Wincanton's location, right on the A303, makes it a convenient hub for all sorts of gatherings. We see a lot of corporate events here, from staff parties and award ceremonies to smaller business meetings. The town's history as a logistical centre means there are often companies looking for practical, stylish furniture solutions for their events. Beyond that, Wincanton is a great spot for private celebrations. These include anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and community get-togethers. And of course, with its rural setting, it's a popular area for weddings too, even if it's not the first place people think of for large-scale wedding venues.
If you're planning something in or around Wincanton, you're likely looking at venues like the Wincanton Racecourse, which hosts a range of events from racing days to private functions. It's got space, which is always a plus. Smaller village halls around places like Templecombe, Charlton Musgrove, or Bruton often need a complete furniture overhaul to feel special. And if you're thinking of a marquee wedding or party at a private estate or farm, we can supply everything you need to make it work.
Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. For more formal events, the Chiavari chair remains a strong contender. In black, it offers sharp sophistication, while white feels fresh and airy. Limewash offers a softer, rustic warmth that works in barns or country house settings. The Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality that makes for good wedding photos, and the Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural. It suits vineyard and garden weddings and relaxed village hall setups.
Table size and shape are key. For banquets, our 6ft circular banqueting tables are popular; they seat 10 guests and encourage conversation. If you need to maximise space or create a more formal dining line, 18ft rectangular tables are also a good option. For drinks receptions or more casual setups, poseur tables with bar stools create a relaxed, social atmosphere. These are useful if you're using a venue that doesn't have its own bar area.
Essentials make a space ready. Tableware is crucial, and it’s often an area people underestimate. We supply a full range of crockery, from simple white dinner plates and side plates to more unusual items like pasta bowls if your caterer is doing something specific. And don't forget cutlery – a good quality stainless steel set makes a difference. For drinks, a comprehensive glassware selection is vital. We have everything from standard wine glasses and beer glasses to more specific champagne flutes and cocktail glasses. It's worth adding a few bar accessories too, like ice buckets and bottle openers, especially if you're self-catering or running your own bar.
Linen plays a big part in the overall feel. While sometimes overlooked, a clean, well-pressed tablecloth makes a plain table appealing. We offer a range of colours and sizes, and it’s worth checking the exact dimensions of your tables before ordering. Napkins are a simple touch that improves dining. We also offer chair covers if you want to unify your seating or add a splash of colour.
Larger events with catering need bar equipment. This can include everything from spirit rails and speed rails to bottle bins and even commercial-grade fridges if you're supplying your own drinks. If you're planning an outdoor element or a summer event, outdoor furniture such as benches and low tables are good additions. And for those cooler evenings, our patio heaters are essential. We also offer gazebo hire, which is handy for shelter or creating distinct zones.
For corporate clients and exhibitions, we have a range of exhibition furniture. This includes modern LED furniture for a contemporary look, comfortable sofas and lounge seating for breakout areas, and practical display cabinets. Barriers are also useful for managing queues or directing footfall.
