Furniture Hire for Large & Small Events

At BE Event Hire, we’ve built our reputation on being large enough to support the UK’s biggest festivals and public events—and personal enough to supply a single table and chairs for a garden party. Whether you’re planning a bustling trade show, a magical wedding or a family celebration at home, we offer furniture hire solutions to match your scale, style and budget.

With decades of experience, flexible delivery options and a huge range of stock, we make it easy to source the tables, chairs and accessories you need—wherever you are in the UK.

Furniture Hire for Large & Small Events - BE Event Furniture Hire

Supporting Large Events

When it comes to major events, we’re well equipped to deliver. Our stock includes over 30,000 folding chairs and 10,000 trestle tables, with thousands more items available across our ranges. We’ve proudly supported prestigious clients including Buckingham Palace, Glastonbury Festival, and whole venue setups like London ExCeL.

We understand the logistics of large-scale events, which is why we:

Operate 24/7 delivery and collection
Use our own fleet of articulated lorries with Moffett truck-mounted forklifts for on-site efficiency
Offer experienced staff for full setup based on detailed site plans

If you’re managing a long-term or recurring event, we can offer competitive extended hire rates or the option to purchase new or ex-hire furniture outright.

Small Events Matter to Us Too

Despite our large-scale capabilities, we regularly support smaller events, from weddings and private parties to community fairs, charity days, and business meetings. We deliver to homes, halls and local venues across the country.

Need just one table and four chairs? No problem. Many of our customers choose to collect directly from our East Midlands base, which is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For smaller or remote orders, we can arrange courier delivery where practical.

We often find customers are surprised to discover that buying certain furniture items, including delivery, can be more cost-effective than hiring locally. Our friendly team is always happy to help you explore the best-value option.

Indoor or Outdoor, Summer or Winter

Our furniture is designed for flexibility and durability. Many of our items are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, making them ideal for barn weddings, open-air concerts, or marquees with changing weather conditions.

We also offer specialist furniture for TV and film sets, hospitality zones, catering kitchens, and long-term commercial installations.

Nationwide Delivery and Convenient Collection

We provide nationwide delivery and flexible scheduling to suit your event setup and breakdown. We’re used to early starts and late finishes—our drivers work around you.

We also offer easy self-collection if you’re based near our Leicestershire depot or prefer to handle logistics. Many of our tables and chairs can fit into vans or even estate cars, saving on delivery costs. Alternatively, we may recommend a courier service for lighter or more compact items.

If you’re not sure what works best, give us a call—we’re happy to help.
