Hiring linens & tableware around Warwick
Warwick sits in Warwickshire (CV34), inside EventSpeed's launch corridor. County town under its Norman castle walls, where the Saturday market in Market Place has traded for 500 years and a festival habit spills free stages out into the streets most summers.
Furniture is the easy win on a Warwick kit list: it travels well, so CV34 draws quotes from depots across the corridor. The Folk Festival takes over the castle grounds for a ticketed long weekend each July while its fringe programme runs free stages and parades through the town centre outside the walls, so local suppliers cover both ticketed castle-grounds builds and open street events; the historic core has narrow lanes, so access is worth planning early.
PLANNING RATIOOne cloth per table, one napkin per guest plus 10 percent, one runner per two metres of trestle.

Linens & tableware hire in Warwick: quick answers
Do linens & tableware suppliers deliver to Warwick?
Yes. Warwick (CV34) sits inside the Oxfordshire–Cotswolds–M4 corridor where most event hire depots quote a 20 to 30 mile radius, so it is covered from several directions. Delivery is normally included within that radius; confirm the exact drop position and access when you book.
When should I book linens & tableware for an event in Warwick?
For May to September weekends around Warwick, book 2 to 4 months ahead; premium items and peak Saturdays go earlier. Off-season and midweek dates are far more flexible, often at better prices.
What will a Warwick supplier ask me before quoting?
Four things, every time: the date, the guest count, the exact site (a CV34 postcode plus what the ground is like), and access: how close a vehicle gets to where the kit goes. Have those ready and quotes come back faster and more accurate.
How much does linens & tableware hire cost near Warwick?
Warwickshire sits mid-range on national pricing, so the same guide figures apply here: Linen hire typically costs £8 to £15 per 90-inch round tablecloth and 80p to £1.50 per napkin, laundered and pressed. Count one cloth per table and one napkin per guest plus 10 percent spares. Return dirty: laundering is included in the price.
What size tablecloth fits a 5ft 6in round table?
A 90-inch cloth gives a smart half drop; a 120-inch cloth reaches the floor for the formal look. For 6ft rounds, step up to 108-inch and 130-inch respectively.
Do I have to wash hire linen before returning it?
No: laundering is the product. Shake off debris, bag it dry (mildew from wet-bagged linen is the one thing that gets charged), and send it back as it is.
