There’s something wonderfully exhilarating about a last-minute Christmas party. The diary fills up, the invitations go out, and suddenly you’re picturing fairy lights, fizz and friends or colleagues gathered together in a space that feels warm, welcoming and festive. If you’re still hunting for furniture to hire for your celebration, don’t panic; there’s still time to create a beautiful setting with Red Woodpecker Event Hire.
Whether you’re a pub manager planning an outdoor corporate event, a business hosting a staff party in a marquee, or a family turning your garden into a winter wonderland, we help you transform your space quickly, calmly and in style.
Why Last-Minute Furniture To Hire Still Works
Life is busy, and Christmas planning doesn’t always happen months in advance. The good news is that last-minute furniture to hire can still feel curated and considered when you have the right team behind you. Our collections are designed to work together effortlessly, from rustic barrel table hire and mobile bars to comfortable seating, lounge areas and practical dining setups.
We listen to what you need, from the number of guests you’re expecting to how you’ll be using the space and what kind of atmosphere you’d like to create. We then recommend combinations that make sense. With the right marquee lighting, rustic mobile bars, exterior festoon lighting and a well-chosen dance floor, your event feels intentional rather than rushed, even if it comes together at short notice.
Pub Gardens And Corporate Christmas Parties
For pubs and restaurants, December can bring unexpected opportunities: a company looking for an outdoor corporate drinks reception, a local business wanting a semi-private festive gathering, or a regular customer asking about a special Christmas soirée. If your indoor areas are already booked, an additional marquee in the garden can provide valuable extra space.
This is where our furniture to hire really comes into its own. We can offer pagoda hire and marquee options to extend your space, and we can help you furnish a marquee perfectly. Pair your marquee with our fire pits, marquee heaters and carefully placed festoon or fairy lighting, and you have a cosy extension of your venue that feels every bit as inviting as the bar inside.
Christmas At Home: Transforming Gardens And Private Spaces
It’s not only venues that find themselves planning late. Perhaps you’ve decided to host the family get-together this year, or you’re throwing a festive party for friends and neighbours. Your home might have the space: a larger living area, a conservatory or a stretch of garden, but not enough seats, surfaces and cosy corners for everyone.
Our furniture to hire gives you the flexibility to shape your space around the way you’d like to celebrate. Think relaxed lounge areas in a bell tent, barrel-style tables dotted around a patio for drinks and nibbles, or a long feasting table under a pagoda or marquee for a candlelit dinner. We can suggest layouts that keep people flowing comfortably between indoors and outdoors, with pockets of warmth and atmosphere wherever guests choose to gather, supported by our lighting, fire pits and marquee heaters.
From Weddings To Winter Celebrations
Many venues that host beautiful summer celebrations turn their attention to Christmas events as the weather turns cooler. If you’re a venue manager looking to adapt your marquee or outdoor space for festive functions with furniture to hire, we can help you reimagine the layout using our range of seating, tables, mobile bars and dance floors, all styled to work effortlessly alongside our fire bowl hire and atmospheric lighting.
Our bell tent hire Essex and wider furniture to hire options are ideal for venues that want to maintain a high-end look without investing in large amounts of permanent furniture. We understand the demands of busy event calendars and can work around your bookings, providing timely delivery, setup guidance and collections that help each event feel unique, even when using the same marquee structure.
Making Your Christmas Event Effortless
Choosing furniture to hire with Red Woodpecker Event Hire isn’t just about chairs and tables; it’s about creating a complete environment. We consider how guests will move, where they’ll naturally gather and how to balance practicality with atmosphere. Fire pits, festoon lighting, flooring, dance floors and refrigeration trailers for your catering all work alongside your chosen furniture to create an event that feels considered from the moment the first guest arrives.
Whether you’re planning a low-key pub gathering, a polished corporate celebration or a relaxed party at home, we’re here to make the process smooth and enjoyable.
