Event Equipment for Wimbledon's Green Spaces
Wimbledon is best known for tennis, but this SW19 neighbourhood is also one of South West London's most popular areas for weddings, garden parties and corporate summer events. Cannizaro House, a Georgian country house hotel set within Cannizaro Park on the edge of Wimbledon Common, is a highly sought-after wedding venue with formal gardens and a terrace overlooking ancient woodland. Wimbledon Common itself — 1,140 acres of open land — provides the backdrop for community festivals, charity events and private marquee celebrations.
Wimbledon Village, with its independent restaurants and boutiques, hosts seasonal food markets, summer fairs and street parties. The residential roads around the Village — Marryat Road, Calonne Road and the streets off Wimbledon Hill — are lined with substantial family homes whose gardens are regularly used for landmark birthday celebrations, christenings, graduation parties and engagement drinks. Murphy's Event Hire supplies the glassware, tableware, linen and catering equipment for all of them.
What Wimbledon Events Need
Wimbledon events lean heavily towards outdoor entertaining, particularly between May and September. A typical summer garden party hire list includes champagne flutes and wine glasses for the drinks station, tumblers for soft drinks, ice buckets and water jugs, plus a gazebo for shade or shelter. For formal weddings at Cannizaro House, the full package comes into play: dinner plates, side plates, cutlery, linen napkins, wine glasses and champagne flutes for every guest.
We also supply trestle tables for food stations and catering setups at larger garden events, and serving trays for waiting staff servicing drinks receptions and canape rounds.
