BE Event Hire supplies tables, chairs and exhibition furniture for conferences, exhibitions, trade shows, banquets and other events at Harrogate Convention Centre.
Situated in the centre of Harrogate, the venue provides more than 13,700 square metres of exhibition space alongside conference rooms, an auditorium and the historic Royal Hall. Its interconnected spaces allow events to range from smaller meetings and dinners to exhibitions and conferences involving thousands of visitors.
BE Event Hire has more than 50 years of experience supplying furniture to events throughout Yorkshire and across the UK. With more than 10,000 tables and 30,000 chairs available, we can accommodate smaller individual requirements as well as events needing substantial quantities of matching furniture.
Event Furniture Hire at Harrogate Convention Centre
Harrogate Convention Centre offers a particularly varied collection of spaces, creating equally varied furniture requirements.
Exhibitions can require tables and chairs across individual stands, registration areas, demonstrations and visitor spaces. Conferences may need seating for delegates alongside tables for breakout sessions, speakers and event administration. Gala dinners and awards events add another requirement: dining tables and banqueting chairs.
BE Event Hire can supply furniture for these different areas within the same order, helping organisers source furniture for the main event alongside hospitality, catering, staff and supporting spaces.
Our extensive event furniture hire range provides practical options for exhibitions, conferences, dinners and temporary event layouts.
Table Hire at Harrogate Convention Centre
Tables are used throughout conferences and exhibitions for stands, registration, meetings, catering, displays, workshops and temporary administration areas.
BE Event Hire stocks more than 10,000 tables, with an extensive table hire range suitable for the different spaces within Harrogate Convention Centre.
Traditional trestle tables are particularly useful for exhibitions, registration areas and practical event requirements. Our wider collection includes banquet style tables for dinners and awards ceremonies, bistro tables for informal areas and high tables for receptions and networking.
Different table styles can be combined within the same hire according to the layout and purpose of each event space.
Our substantial stock also allows matching tables to be supplied in significant quantities for exhibitions and conferences using several areas of the venue.
Chair Hire at Harrogate Convention Centre
Harrogate Convention Centre can accommodate conferences and exhibitions involving substantial visitor and delegate numbers, making reliable seating an important part of many events.
BE Event Hire stocks more than 30,000 chairs, allowing us to supply anything from a smaller meeting or exhibition stand to events requiring thousands of matching seats.
Our seating hire range includes practical event chairs alongside seating for conferences, dinners, exhibitions and hospitality areas.
For banquets, awards ceremonies and formal functions, our banqueting chairs can be combined with round or rectangular tables to create layouts suited to the individual event space.
Other seating options can be used within exhibition stands, networking areas, receptions and more informal event spaces.
Exhibition Hire at Harrogate Convention Centre
Exhibitions are an important part of the programme at Harrogate Convention Centre. The venue provides more than 13,700 square metres of versatile exhibition space across interconnected halls.
BE Event Hire supplies exhibition furniture hire for organisers, contractors and individual exhibitors.
Tables and chairs can be used within stands, demonstration areas, registration points, temporary meeting spaces, organiser offices and visitor facilities. Furniture can be supplied across an entire exhibition or in smaller quantities for an individual exhibitor.
Our wider exhibition and education hire range provides further options for conferences, presentations and other temporary layouts.
Harrogate Convention Centre Event Spaces
One of the strengths of Harrogate Convention Centre is the variety of spaces available within the complex.
Hall A provides 1,600 square metres of floor space and can be used for exhibitions or banquets, while Halls B and C each provide more than 1,800 square metres. Hall M offers another 1,560 square metres and has its own reception and offices.
The 650 square metre Queen’s Suite can operate as a single space or be divided into smaller rooms, making it useful for conferences and breakout sessions. Studio One provides 1,592 square metres and can accommodate conferences, exhibitions and banquets.
The venue also incorporates its main Auditorium and the historic Royal Hall, giving organisers additional options for presentations, conferences, ceremonies and live events.
This combination allows furniture requirements to be planned around individual halls or across several interconnected areas.
Furniture for Conferences and Breakout Areas
Conferences often require several furniture arrangements operating at the same time.
The main conference may need substantial delegate seating, while breakout rooms can require tables and chairs arranged for workshops, seminars or smaller group discussions. Registration areas need practical tables for staff and delegate materials, while networking areas can use high tables and more informal seating.
Harrogate Convention Centre’s Queen’s Suite is particularly suited to breakout use, with the space capable of being divided into multiple rooms. The venue’s Auditorium accommodates almost 2,000 people, demonstrating the difference in scale that can exist between individual areas of the same conference.
BE Event Hire can supply furniture across these different spaces as part of the same hire requirement.
Furniture for Banquets and Gala Dinners
Harrogate Convention Centre also accommodates dinners, awards ceremonies and hospitality events, either as standalone occasions or as part of a wider conference.
Several spaces can be configured for banqueting. Current venue capacities include up to 450 guests in the Queen’s Suite, 750 in Studio One and more than 1,000 in some of the exhibition halls, depending on the chosen layout.
Round tables and banqueting chairs can provide the main dining layout, with additional tables required for reception areas, catering, awards, displays and event administration.
Our substantial stock allows organisers to source dining and supporting furniture together rather than coordinating separate suppliers for different parts of the event.
Harrogate Convention Centre
Harrogate Convention Centre is located on King’s Road in the centre of Harrogate, placing delegates within walking distance of the town’s hotels, restaurants, shops and hospitality venues.
The venue comprises a mix of historic and modern event spaces. The Royal Hall dates from 1903, while the wider complex now incorporates purpose-built exhibition halls, meeting facilities, an Auditorium and flexible conference spaces.
Its modular layout means organisers can use an individual room or hall for a focused event or combine several areas for a much bigger conference or exhibition.
Harrogate Convention Centre is also included within our wider national event venues section, covering furniture hire at major conference and exhibition destinations throughout the UK.
Furniture Across Several Event Areas
Events occupying several halls can generate substantial furniture requirements away from the main visitor areas.
An exhibition might require tables for hundreds of exhibitors alongside seating for seminars, registration furniture at entrances and tables and chairs within organiser offices. Catering and hospitality areas can add further requirements.
The interconnected nature of Harrogate Convention Centre makes this particularly relevant for expanding events. AireCon, for example, has previously occupied Halls A, B, C and M together with the Queen’s Suite.
BE Event Hire’s substantial furniture stocks allow different products and quantities to be combined within one order, making it easier to furnish several areas of a conference or exhibition.
Delivery and Collection at Harrogate Convention Centre
Exhibitions and conferences work around planned build and breakdown periods, so furniture delivery needs to fit within the access arrangements established for the event.
BE Event Hire supplies events nationwide and is accustomed to coordinating substantial furniture orders where transport, quantities and delivery schedules need to be established in advance.
For bigger requirements, providing your event dates, furniture quantities, hall information and relevant access instructions early allows our team to allocate stock and plan transport.
Weekend and out of hours delivery or collection can also be arranged where required, although additional charges may apply.
