Trent Furniture is used to supplying event furniture for village halls of all shapes and sizes. With the recent celebrations of the Queen’s 90th birthday, village halls and clubs up and down the country have been revamping their interiors in preparation.
In the UK we have a long tradition of celebrating royal jubilees, weddings and birthdays. So it goes without saying that a landmark such as the Queen’s 90th birthday was well-celebrated last weekend.
Sourcing Furniture for Community Events
With the public in a party mood, a number of events were organised across the country including street parties, picnics and tea parties. It was important that any hosts had up-to-date furniture in sufficient quantities to cater for the people coming to their events.
Looking back on our orders for the big day, one furniture order in particular caught our eye, it was for a village hall in Nottinghamshire.
To commemorate the Queen’s birthday, the South Muskham and Little Carlton Village Hall organised an indoor ‘strawberry tea party’. The hall had recently been revamped, extending and improving the facilities available with a new kitchen and toilet. The committee was now looking to add some chairs to match and use for the event.
Special Furniture for a Very Special Occasion
After searching for village hall chairs, they found Trent Furniture and ordered 80 Buckingham chairs and 20 Buckingham armchairs – so classy that they wouldn’t look out of place in their namesake’s palace. On the day itself, the village hall was transformed into a banqueting hall with crockery and bunting, made complete by their new furniture.
Over 100 locals came to the sold-out celebrations, even the local newspaper - with the revamped interior receiving a resounding thumbs up from visitors. One attendee was so impressed with the revamp and chairs that she donated £345 to the village hall fund.
Versatile Furniture to Boost Your Venue's Income
The past 12 months raising money has been a struggle for the hall so the total raise of over £600 will be a great benefit. Because of the village hall chairs’ versatility and quality, it is planned to offer the venue for weddings and special occasions – generating another source of income for the fund.
Trent Furniture is delighted by the positive impact that our furniture has had for this customer.
