Your Local Hire Company for Shoreditch Events
Shoreditch is London's epicentre for brand activations, creative launches and unconventional celebrations. The Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane provides sprawling industrial event spaces for fashion weeks, tech conferences and immersive dining experiences. Village Underground on Holywell Lane hosts live music events and private parties beneath its landmark graffiti-covered tube carriages. The Ace Hotel on Shoreditch High Street attracts a steady stream of corporate offsites, product reveals and private receptions. Boundary, the Conran hotel, offers rooftop events with panoramic views across East London.
Murphy's Event Hire is based in Shadwell — essentially next door to Shoreditch. That proximity means we can deliver same-day in emergencies, respond quickly to order changes, and provide the kind of hands-on local service that national hire companies simply cannot match. We supply glassware, tableware, linen and catering equipment for events of every size and format across the Shoreditch area.
What Shoreditch Events Need
Shoreditch event formats vary enormously. A tech company launch at the Truman Brewery might need 400 tumblers and champagne flutes for a standing reception with cocktails. A supper club in a converted railway arch might need dinner plates, cutlery, wine glasses and linen napkins for 50. A gallery opening on Redchurch Street needs wine glasses, ice buckets, serving trays and water jugs. Whatever the format, our commercial-grade hire equipment is built for busy event service while looking clean and professional.
Trestle tables are another staple for Shoreditch events — they serve as bar stations, DJ booths, merchandise tables and food service counters in spaces that often have minimal built-in furniture.
