Equipment hire for weddings, conferences, festivals, exhibitions and temporary kitchens across England and Wales. PAT tested and Gas Safe certified.
This section covers equipment hire for every type of event held across England and Wales. Whether you need furniture for a wedding reception, catering equipment for a temporary kitchen or outdoor furniture for a summer festival, each event-type page links through to the relevant hire categories with live pricing and stock availability throughout.
Hire periods run from a single day to several weeks. The standard 3-day hire period covers most single-day events with time built in for delivery and collection either side. Longer periods carry discounted rates calculated automatically when you enter your dates on the product page. All orders can be placed online without a quote, and all items show live availability so you can book with confidence.
The catalogue covers furniture, catering equipment, crockery, glassware, linen and outdoor equipment. Items are grouped by type under the hire categories section, or by event type here if you want to see what is typically used for a specific occasion. Both routes lead to the same products and the same online checkout.
All electrical equipment is PAT tested and certified. Gas catering equipment carries a current Gas Safe certificate. Expo Hire holds public liability insurance. Questions about safety compliance? Email support@expohire.com.
