Getting chair hire right is the difference between having comfy guests at your event or a sea of frowns. We deliver chair hire to venues throughout the Bristol area for all kinds of events and occasions.
Conferences can be very important events for the people involved and the last thing any organiser would want to worry about is poor quality conference chairs. Our conference chairs for hire are designed to be both practical and comfortable to ensure the best possible result.
Another kind of event where guests will need comfortable chairs are weddings. Wedding receptions can be long affairs that go on into the night so having the right kind of wedding chair hire is essential. We have lots of different styles at a price which is right to help you meet your budget.
Outdoor events require chairs that can withstand the Great British climate, and our outdoor chairs for hire meet those expectations and then some. From folding samsonite chairs and aluminium bistro chairs to comfy rattan sofas we’re bound to have what you need.
One of the products we hire out most frequently in Bath and the Bristol & Avon area is table hire. We have a large range of tables for hire to suit all types of event and occasion to help ensure your event goes right. It doesn’t matter whether you want to rent designer tables or hire trestle tables – we can help.
As can be seen from our furniture hire catalogue, there are many different types of table on offer. While it can be daunting to work out what is needed, it doesn’t have to be. There are three basic types of table to choose from; the first being the tall poseur table style which works best with bar stools. Then there are low coffee tables which are great when paired with sofas and armchairs for a relaxed meeting space.
The most common style of table we hire out are banqueting tables or trestle tables. These are the standard table for any event where people sit and eat like a wedding reception or banquet. There are different sizes of banqueting tables available, and with this in mind we’ve listed on each product page how many people can sit around each one and what size of linen we recommend.
Whether it’s a summer evening or a brisk spring day, keeping guests warm at an outdoor event can be challenging. We deliver patio heater hire to venues throughout Bristol, Bath and Somerset to help solve this problem and to ensure your guests remain toasty.
There are two main kinds of outdoor heaters hire available; electric and LPG. Electric patio heaters are best used in specific enclosed spaces, as they offer a directed and focused beam of heat and need a power outlet to plug into. By contrast, outdoor gas patio heaters for hire are the best thing possible for heating up outdoor spaces. They radiate heat outwards from the heater, making them great for garden parties and the like.

We’ve built up a fair amount of knowledge from hiring out patio heaters, which has helped us to source the best ones possible for you. All of our outdoor gas patio heaters for hire are easy to start, are reliable and fuel efficient. We also supply 13kg LPG bottles separately so you don’t need to worry about where to get one from.
For those with huge spaces to heat, our space heaters for hire are perfect. These are a more industrial version of a patio heater, and are capable of heating large spaces for long periods of time.
Finding the right kitchen equipment for a commercial or temporary setting on a budget can be very difficult. One of the chief decisions to get right is oven hire; get that wrong and it can be disastrous.
At Expo Hire Bristol and Avon we offer a choice of LPG and electric ovens for hire; the right one to order depends on the situation it is being hired into. Electric ovens for hire are the right choice for indoor kitchen areas where they can be used to bake, roast and grill food with ease. However, because electric ovens need huge amounts of power they cannot be used outdoors. The wattage required by electric ovens to run is far too much for temporary power supplies such as generators and extension leads and these will trip out easily while trying to use them in this way. The right choice for outdoor kitchens are LPG ovens like our six burner oven as they use LPG bottles to fuel the oven’s powerful burners. However, LPG ovens are not designed to be used indoors due to the potential lack of ventilation of exhaust fumes.
Having high quality stock has always been something that we pride ourselves upon and because of this we frequently replace our ovens with new ones. This is particularly important with ovens which are often the main workhorse of a kitchen and allows our customers to order from us with peace of mind.
When it comes to colour and detail for events like weddings and banquets, linen is an absolute must. Customers rent linen to ensure that the theme of their event is perfect and we offer linen for hire to help match every aesthetic possible.
For the first time hirer, linen hire can seem a bit daunting. Not only is there a morass of colours to choose from, but there are many different sizes to fit all sizes of tables. We’ve used our experience in this field to help make the process simpler and ensure that you can get what you need without worry.

All of our linen hire product pages have sizing details in the description which confirm what size table each particular piece of linen should be used with. Furthermore, we’ve put recommendations on our table pages for the right size linen so you can hire both with confidence.
