Pengelly’s Event Hire offers affordable wedding, festival, party and event hire stock throughout Cornwall and South Devon.
Our hire stock is older and more weathered than equipment hired out by the premier hire companies and, although perfectly usable and practical, may show signs of use. If you’re looking for items for a shabby-chic, bespoke event then we’re your first choice. If you seeking pristine, first class marquees etc, then we suggest you seek out a premium supplier.
Our prices are do not include delivery or collection, although we can offer that service.
We are based in Porthleven so, as a rough guide, delivery as far as Truro is £100 each way, Truro and beyond £150 each way.
With all our equipment hire, you will be expected to put it in place. With marquees, we will help you to erect but you will need to take down yourself. We can help you take down the marquee and pack it away properly. The cost for this help is £150. With the larger hires, we will provide extra labour to load / unload the van and help erect / take down. The cost for this help is £200.
We can provide labour to help set events up, but this will be at an hourly rate.

We have a variety of flooring options for your event. If you’re having a standing-only event, then you may not need flooring.
However, a ‘hard’ area for a dancefloor is often a good idea as a lot of dancing can make an area become slippery and damage the grass.
Also, the feet of chairs can sink into soft ground.
Below are our flooring options. We have extensive matting flooring, but limited hardwood fllooring.
This is proper heavy duty, well-made staging that we picked up from a mate, who got it from a school (and legitimately, we must add). There are two x 60cm x 120cm half sections (pictured) and 10 x 120cm x 120cm sections (and around 40cm high). It doesn’t fold down and is almost a van load by itself.
We have around 500 chairs. The wooden chairs are nicer, but the Samsonite chairs are perfectly functional. We have covers for the wooden chairs, a summer design and a autumn design.
We have rectangular and round trestle tables, and also some heavy duty rustic tables that are good for head tables etc.
We have 109 red chairs and 160 light grey chairs (16 are a bit darker).
Choice of autumn design or spring design.
We have 80 benches: 60 at 6ft 6in and 20 at 2m (apologies for the imperial / metric mash-up).
We’ve got a dozen of these really nice, heavy duty trestle tables with separate trestle legs. Size 6ft by 2ft 6in – will seat 6 to 8 people (although 8 is a squeeze).
Most people use tablecloths for the trestle tables, but we have around 20 of these black elasticated table covers.
Seating up to 12 people, these tables and benches are a great solution to communal seating and work well near bars / food stalls (and actually increase sales). Seven foot long and 18 inches wide. Ten sets in stock.
This banqueting table has three configurations:
• a 6.2m by 1.2m four-section table (price: £60)
• a 4.4m by 1.2m three-section table (price: £50)
• a 2.4m by 1.2m two-section table (price: £30)
Lots of lighting, much of it suitable for outdoors and indoors and much of it connectable in that you can have very long sections.
There’s also a wide range of disco lighting, all sound-activated. While not quite a Pink Floyd spectacle, it’ll add an atmosphere.
We used to be DJs at Pengelly’s Event Hire, so we simply kept all the gear and upgraded parts of it.
We’ve got a three PAs that come with set-up instructions and other stuff that’s going for getting a crowd grooving.
We’ve amassed quite a selection of decor, from drapes to bunting and flags. If there’s something you want, and it’s not here – just ask.
We might be able to pick something up. We’re friends with Shiver Me Timbers and Out of the Ordinary, and they’ve got loads of cool stuff.
We’ve got loads of ceiling drapes and wall coverings. Bundles and bundles of it. Ivory, pink, green, gold, striped and white. Dresses up a marquee proper smart.
A selection of colourful, yet not gaudy, festival flags on 8ft poles. Flags are 3-4ft wide.
We have colourful bunting and some other more pastel-coloured bunting – lots and lots of it.
We have a sister company called Pengelly’s Cornish Bar with a selection of bars and bar equipment, with a number of hiring and stock options.
We’ve got five styles of bar, bottle fridges, ice machine, optic racks, beer pumps and coolers, glasses, cocktail equipment, bar towels, etc. Email jo@mobilebarcornwall.co.uk for info on prices and availability.

We’ve got loads of other stuff in our storage, and we’re getting more items all the time.
If there’s something you want, just ask and we’ll see what we can do.
Coats on chairs get trampled on and are a trip hazard. A clothes rail by the marquee entrance is so much more civilised. Comes with 50, or so, coat hangers.
Had a few pints and fancy ‘aving a go? This competition full spec tug-of-war rope will sort out the three-pot squealers from the men.
Our marquees are fireproofed, but other items at your event might not be.
We have a 3kw blow heater and a pair of infra-red glow heaters – ideal for warming up large spaces.
We’ve got these 4ft high letters that spell LOVE, depending on which way you arrange them. The lights operate by remote control, so you can have all letters or each letter a different colour – or all the lights changing colour at once.
Large beer barrels that make ideal standing tables to put your pints on. We have six of these but may get some more.
We picked up Missy from an Australian seamstress who had her flown over from Brisbane; you can tell from her accent. Anyway, Missy likes to hang out by bars and event entrances.
Now this is something behold, possibly the best brazier you’ll ever see – and certainly the most famous. This beauty is just over a metre across and 85cm tall and has been in Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon as well as the Gwenno video Tesor. We’ve also got a smaller firepit that’s around 50cm across and 30cm high. We’ve got another firepit as well, a proper beauty. It’s shaped like a teardrop and it about 3ft high – we’ll get it lit up in the winter and get some pictures.
Old sweet cart on steel wheels, with candy cart bunting and comes with a load of sweet jars – perfect for getting the children totally restless.
This is a lovely hand-made pine wedding arch that stands at over 6ft tall. Makes a great backdrop for an outdoor ceremony.
A stack of old suitcases, one cut to act as a letterbox for wedding post that look great for a shabby chic-style wedding.
Ideal for keeping warring families at bay, or to go in front a stage or in a car park.
We’ve got loads of white camo netting from a rave we put on once, along with a load of UV lights.
Fancy taking on yer uncle at table tennis? Full size table with net, bats and balls.
Traditional 16ft square tent, carpets, lighting, 16 amp extension lead, six tables
