Table and Chair Hire in Yorkshire
Table and chair hire across Yorkshire, from a 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham that sits in the middle of the county’s motorway network. Deck chairs from £6.95, black foldable chairs from £2.95, canteen folding tables at £7.50 ex VAT.
DB Entertainment is a 600-product event company, and furniture is a serious corner of it: up to 200 British-made wooden deck chairs with printed cotton slings, stacking runs of black foldable chairs, canteen folding tables that go out by the hundred, and flooring to go underneath on soft ground. Everything is our own stock in Rotherham, set out where you want it by the crew that delivers it, with £5 million public liability insurance on every hire.
Table and Chair Hire for Yorkshire Events
The warehouse sits five minutes from the M1, M18 and A1, with the M62 a straight run west, which puts every part of Yorkshire in range on a normal day’s work: South Yorkshire daily, regular runs to Leeds and Huddersfield, Hull and the East Riding on the coastal trips, and North Yorkshire up the A1. The furniture rides the same vans as the rest of the 600-product range.
The big Yorkshire furniture runs give the scale of it. Sixty deck chairs went to an Amazon family day at Templenewsam Park in Leeds alongside a rodeo bull and a helter skelter; twenty deck chairs and a mobile trailer stage went to Huddersfield Students’ Union; pairs of massage chairs have worked events at the Queens Hotel on Leeds City Square; and stately-home runs like Wentworth Woodhouse near Rotherham have taken chairs and folding tables for events on the lawns. South Yorkshire itself - Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster - is where the vans run daily, and each of those towns has its own page on this site.
By season, the county books like this: summer is fun days, galas and festivals, which means deck chair rows by the hundred and canteen tables for the stalls; September and October are freshers weeks and awards nights, which mean black chairs and folding tables in halls; November and December are the Christmas parties, where the Party Marquee Hire package with its tables-and-chairs option does the heavy lifting at venues that need extra covered space.
There are furniture hire specialists in Yorkshire, mostly around Leeds and York. The difference with us is what the van carries besides the furniture: the same delivery can bring the marquee, the games, the rides and the sound system, from stock we own rather than broker. For a county event with twenty moving parts, that’s the bit that saves the organising.
Chairs for Hire
All of it sits in the warehouse in Rotherham, checked between hires. These are the chairs - the tables, flooring and the package route follow underneath.
Deck Chair Hire
Up to 200 British-made wooden deck chairs with printed cotton slings, in mixed stripes from red to teal. They work indoors and out on grass or hard standing. From £6.95 plus VAT.
Giant Deck Chair Hire
A 9ft wide by 6ft tall seaside photo prop that takes two adults at once. The backdrop people pose at all day. From £169 plus VAT.

Full-body electric massage chairs for staff wellbeing days, offices and gyms, from £449 for a week per chair. Amazon has run month-long hires of them. Add-on item.
Tables, Flooring and the Package Route
Tables, the flooring that keeps them level, and the bundled marquee option for when a party needs a roof as well as somewhere to sit. All of it our own kit.
Canteen Folding Tables Hire
1800 x 685mm aluminium folding tables, 13kg each, wipe-clean tops. One person can carry and set one up in seconds, and they work on every surface. £7.50 ex VAT per table per day.

Party Marquee Hire
The all-in route: a 4.5 x 3m marquee, with options adding flooring, then tables and chairs, then sound and lighting, then party lighting and heating. From £89 plus VAT.
What’s Included
- Delivery, setup and collection on our own trucks, with the crew laying out the chairs and tables to your plan
- £5 million public liability insurance on every hire
- Risk assessments and method statements emailed to your venue ahead of the event
- Festoon and marquee lighting options when the furniture is staying on into the evening
- Multi-day and long-term rates - the canteen tables in particular go out on weekly and monthly hires for offices and schools
- Weekend and overnight hires available, priced per item
A few honest notes, because they come up: delivered orders carry a £50 minimum spend plus delivery, and deck chairs have a minimum quantity that depends on where the event is and what else is on the van. The tables are working hire kit - we wipe them down between hires, but for a smart do we’d suggest tablecloths, which venues expect at those events anyway. And the flooring lives on the ground, so it comes back clean but not pristine. None of that is a problem if you know it going in.
Common Furniture Builds for Yorkshire
Most furniture orders here come with something else attached, so these are the patterns we actually load. Each build travels on one delivery, set out by the same crew.
The County Summer Show
The gala field build: a helter skelter and candy floss as the draw, deck chairs in rows for the spectators, and the rest of the funfair around them. The Templenewsam Park pattern, run across the county.
Awards Night or Freshers Ball
The hall build for the autumn season: black chairs in rows, canteen tables for the bar and the paperwork, battery uplighters round the walls. Booked by schools, universities and clubs across Yorkshire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does table and chair hire cost in Yorkshire?
Deck chairs start at £6.95 plus VAT, black foldable chairs at £2.95, canteen folding tables at £7.50 ex VAT per table per day and 6ft foldable tables at £6 incl VAT. South Yorkshire is our home area with the cheapest delivery; further into the county it’s quoted by location. Get in touch for a quote.
Do you deliver tables and chairs across Yorkshire?
Yes, from the Rotherham warehouse at the junction of the M1, M18, A1 and M62. South Yorkshire runs daily, West Yorkshire weekly, Hull and the coast on the regular runs, North Yorkshire up the A1. Thirty or more deck chairs get delivered to most of England and Wales - the county is well inside that.
How many chairs will I need?
Work it out from the format rather than the guest list. A sit-down meal needs a chair for every guest plus about 5% spare for late confirmations. A drinks party or fun day needs somewhere between a third and a half of the headcount seated, because people circulate. Deck chairs go in rows facing the action - budget one for every two or three expected guests.
Can I add tables and chairs to a marquee booking?
Yes, and it works out cheaper than pricing the lines separately. Option 2 of the Party Marquee Hire package adds foldable tables and chairs to a marquee with flooring underneath for £99 plus VAT for one marquee, £159 for two. Or add the furniture to any marquee, games or fun-food quote from the extras list and everything arrives on the same delivery.
How clean are the tables and chairs?
They’re working hire kit. We wipe the tables down and check every chair between hires, but they go to fun days and conferences rather than showrooms - so for a wedding or a smart corporate do, add tablecloths, which is what those venues expect anyway. The flooring is the same deal: it lives on the ground, so it comes back clean but not pristine, and we say so up front.
How far in advance should I book?
Summer Saturdays and the December party season go first, so six weeks is comfortable and earlier is safer for orders in the hundreds of chairs. Outside those peaks, same-week and next-week hires are usually fine, especially across South Yorkshire where our vans already run every day.
