BE Event Hire supplies tables, chairs and event furniture throughout Leicester and Leicestershire. From weddings and university events to exhibitions, conferences, sporting occasions, festivals, and private celebrations, our proximity to the city makes Leicester a key part of our regular hire service.
Our depot is based just outside Melton Mowbray, placing much of Leicestershire within easy reach of our own transport fleet. We deliver throughout Leicester city centre, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Oadby, Wigston, Coalville, Melton Mowbray and surrounding areas.
Established in 1972, BE Event Hire now has more than 10,000 tables and 30,000 chairs, plus an extensive collection of additional event furniture. There is no minimum order, so we offer the same service whether you need a few extra chairs or furniture in substantial quantities.
Local Furniture Hire From Leicestershire
Being based in Leicestershire gives customers across the county convenient access to our extensive hire stock and transport operation.
For professional organisers, this provides access to the quantities required for major events without relying on furniture being transported from the other end of the country. For smaller customers, our proximity also makes collection from our Melton Mowbray depot a practical alternative to delivery where suitable transport is available.
Our Leicester work covers a particularly broad mix of events. Previous customers and locations have included Athena, Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, De Montfort University, Leicester Tigers and Loughborough University.
This local experience is supported by the same nationwide operation we use for major events throughout the UK.
Table Hire In Leicester
BE Event Hire holds more than 10,000 tables, providing an extensive table hire range for events throughout Leicester and Leicestershire.
Our trestle tables are widely used for conferences, exhibitions, catering areas, festivals, registration points and temporary workspaces. Several sizes and finishes are available, allowing organisers to choose tables to suit the available space and intended use.
For weddings, dinners and formal occasions, banquet style tables provide options for different dining layouts and guest numbers.
The wider collection includes picnic tables for festivals and outdoor events, bistro tables for informal hospitality areas and high tables for receptions, bars and networking spaces. Children’s tables are also available.
Our stockholding lets us supply substantial quantities of matching tables for major events. You can also combine different table types in one order to furnish dining, catering, hospitality, exhibition, and operational areas.
Chair Hire In Leicester
With more than 30,000 chairs available, our seating hire range covers everything from practical temporary seating to furniture for weddings and formal occasions.
Banqueting chairs are suited to conferences, university functions, dinners and corporate events, while Chiavari chairs provide a decorative option for weddings and celebrations.
Our wooden rustic seating works well for marquees, barns and countryside venues. For festivals, public events and temporary spaces, plastic chairs and furniture from our outdoor seating range provide practical alternatives.
The wider collection includes contemporary chairs, bar stools, sofas, benches and children’s seating.
Different seating styles can be supplied within one booking, giving organisers the flexibility to furnish conference, reception, hospitality and outdoor spaces appropriately.
Leicester University Event Furniture
Leicester and Loughborough have large university populations, making academic events a regular part of our work in the county.
BE Event Hire has previously supplied De Montfort University and Loughborough University. University requirements can include open days, graduation ceremonies, Freshers’ events, conferences, exhibitions, examinations and individual departmental functions.
Large occasions may require hundreds or thousands of matching chairs, while registration areas, exhibitions, and catering facilities may require different table styles. We also offer exam desks for assessment periods and other educational requirements.
Our stock capacity allows us to furnish several areas in the same order, with delivery and collection planned around campus access and the organiser’s timetable.
Exhibitions and Business Events In Leicester
Leicester’s central location and commercial base create regular demand for conference and exhibition furniture.
Conference seating can be combined with tables for speakers, registration areas and breakout sessions, while exhibition spaces may require poseur tables, stools, display panels and reception furniture.
BE Event Hire has previously supplied Athena in Leicester, giving us relevant experience working with established city event spaces.
Our broader event furniture hire collection includes exhibition panels, partition screens, reception seating, staging and crowd management equipment.
This lets businesses and professional organisers source furniture for several areas of an exhibition, conference, or corporate function from one supplier.
Leicester Wedding Furniture Hire
From city hotels to marquees and countryside venues, Leicestershire offers a varied choice of wedding settings.
BE Event Hire supplies wedding furniture for hire throughout Leicester and the county, with furniture suitable for ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and evening receptions.
Our wedding furniture hire collection includes round and rectangular tables, Chiavari chairs, wooden folding chairs, crossback chairs, rustic tables and benches.
Furniture can be complemented by wedding accessories and wedding table linen, helping couples, venues and wedding planners coordinate more of their requirements through one hire company.
You can select different furniture for ceremony, dining, and evening spaces, with quantities based on the guest list and planned layout.
Sporting Events Across Leicestershire
Sport is another important part of Leicester’s event calendar. BE Event Hire has previously supplied Leicester Tigers, while our broader event experience covers sporting venues and temporary outdoor sites.
Furniture requirements at sporting events can extend across hospitality suites, catering areas, public spaces, temporary offices and staff facilities. Trestle tables, folding chairs, picnic benches and outdoor furniture can all have different roles within the same event.
For larger events, our stockholding enables us to supply furniture in substantial quantities. You can also add supporting items such as barriers and temporary event equipment to the order.
Festivals and Outdoor Events
Leicestershire hosts festivals, shows, and public events throughout the year, and our proximity to many event sites gives organisers a practical advantage when they need substantial quantities of furniture.
Picnic benches and outdoor seating can provide visitor areas, while trestle tables are useful for catering, temporary offices, traders and operational spaces. Beer tables, high tables, and other furniture can support hospitality and food and drink areas.
Our previous local supply has included Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and Leicester public events.
For substantial orders, our transport fleet includes articulated vehicles and vehicles equipped with Moffett truck-mounted forklifts, helping our team manage furniture movements at sites where quantities and unloading requirements demand more than a conventional delivery vehicle.
Furniture For Smaller Leicestershire Events
Our capacity for major events doesn’t mean we overlook smaller orders. There is no minimum order.
Customers can hire a few additional chairs for a family gathering, tables for a birthday celebration, furniture for a village event or seating for a small garden wedding.
Hiring lets you add capacity temporarily without buying furniture you may not use again after the event. Customers can choose the quantities they need and combine tables, chairs, and other items in the same booking.
For customers near Melton Mowbray, collection from our depot can also be a convenient option where suitable transport is available.
Event Furniture and Equipment
Our Leicester hire range extends beyond tables and chairs.
BE Event Hire stocks picnic benches, outdoor furniture, bar stools, reception seating, sofas, staging, dance floors, crowd control barriers, posts and ropes, exhibition furniture and partition screens.
We also offer furniture for catering, production and green room areas, along with catering equipment, glassware, cutlery and table linen.

Hire Prices and Local Delivery
Our published furniture hire prices exclude VAT and cover up to one week. Customers requiring furniture for a shorter event pay the same weekly furniture hire price rather than a separate daily or weekend rate.
There is no minimum order and no upfront security deposit is required.
Delivery and collection costs are calculated individually according to distance and the total weight and volume of the order. Based in Leicestershire, Leicester and many surrounding areas are relatively close to our depot, although the final transport charge will always depend on the individual booking.
Weekend, Bank Holiday and out of hours deliveries and collections can be arranged subject to availability. Any additional charges are included within the quotation. Working weekday arrangements will generally be more economical where the event schedule allows.
Collection From Our Leicestershire Depot
Customers do not necessarily need to use our delivery service.
You can collect furniture from our depot at Welby Road, Asfordby Hill, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire LE14 3RD during normal weekday opening hours.
Collection can be particularly useful for smaller local orders, provided the customer has suitable transport for the hired furniture. Items can then be returned to the depot at the agreed time following the event.
For substantial orders, or for customers without an appropriate vehicle, our delivery and collection service is usually the more practical option.
Serving Leicester and The County
Our regular coverage includes Leicester city centre, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Oadby, Wigston, Coalville, Melton Mowbray and surrounding Leicestershire areas.
