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 England and Wales and returns to collect everything.

We've been supplying event equipment to York and the surrounding areas for years. From corporate hospitality at the Racecourse to intimate weddings in the Dales, we understand what works. If you're planning a conference at the University, a product launch in the city centre, or a significant birthday bash, we've got the kit to make it happen smoothly.
For weddings, the choice of chairs can really set the tone. Chiavari chairs are always a popular choice, black for a sharp, formal feel, white for brightness, and limewash for that softer, rustic charm that looks fantastic at barn venues. The Wishbone chair offers a more contemporary, Scandinavian vibe, and the Cross Back chair in oak brings a natural, relaxed feel that suits country house events. Don't forget tablecloths and napkins to complete the look, with a range of colours and fabrics available.
When it comes to tables, we offer everything from smaller rounds for intimate dinners to larger 6ft round banqueting tables, which typically seat 10 people, to longer trestle tables that are great for buffets or exam settings. Poseur tables are a must for any drinks reception or bar area, creating a sophisticated standing space.
For larger events, particularly those with a bar, our bar furniture range is extensive. Think modern LED bars that add a real wow factor, or classic wooden bar units. Pair these with our bar stools to create a functional and stylish drinks service area. We also supply all the bar equipment you might need, from speed rails to ice buckets.
Exhibitions are a big part of York's business calendar. We supply a full range of exhibition furniture. This includes display counters, literature stands, and display cabinets for showcasing products. For crowd control or directing traffic, our barrier hire options are robust and reliable.
Thinking about catering? We can help there too. Our cooking equipment includes ovens, hobs, and fryers, while our fridges and freezers are essential for keeping ingredients and drinks chilled. For keeping food warm during service, our warming equipment is ideal. And if you're planning an outdoor event or festival, our BBQ hire is very popular, alongside gazebo hire for shelter and our patio heaters to keep guests comfortable as the evening draws in.
The local area is rich with potential venues, from the historic heart of York itself, with places like the York Minster (though we can't set up inside!) and numerous hotels, to the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. We frequently deliver to venues just outside the city, such as The Hospitium, Merchant Adventurers' Hall, and across to the grounds of country estates around Harrogate and Leeds, which are easily accessible. Popular towns and villages within our York delivery zone include Stamford Bridge, Pocklington, Selby, Tadcaster, Easingwold, Thirsk, and Malton. Essentially, if you're organising an event within a reasonable distance of York, we can get the equipment to you.
We've also seen a rise in demand for casual seating options. Our sofas and lounge furniture can create chill-out zones at weddings or corporate events, and our bean bags offer a fun, informal seating solution, particularly for student events or family gatherings.
Essential for any catered event is quality glassware and crockery. We have a wide selection of wine glasses, champagne flutes, and beer glasses, as well as plates, bowls, and cutlery. Everything is delivered clean and ready to use, and we collect it all dirty afterwards.
