East London notes on tables, tents & party hire
Large frame tents with sides are standard for government events on Bhisho sports fields and for big funerals in Mdantsane. In the rural villages, peg and pole tents go up on open ground near the house, and rain can turn the access road to mud, so ask whether the truck can get in. Trestle tables carry the catering, while coastal weddings book round tables with floor cloths held down against the breeze.
East London: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Mdantsane alone keeps many East London hire firms busy, with funerals, umgidi homecomings, weddings and church gatherings booked weekend after weekend. Bhisho and Qonce add provincial government events, launches and imbizos that need marquees, stages and rows of conference chairs. On the coast, Nahoon, Gonubie and Beacon Bay host garden and beach weddings, and schools across Vincent and Selborne run sports days and matric farewells. Hire firms are based in the industrial areas around Wilsonia and Arcadia and in Mdantsane, and many also deliver inland and along the coast to rural villages, charging by distance. Coastal wind, summer rain and soft ground on village roads are the usual cautions, so mention access when you ask for a quote.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: white or black cloths on the trestles for the meal after the service
- Churches and faith gatherings: white cloths for a communion table, a church lunch or a festival meal
- Families and home celebrations: white cloths on trestles for a 21st, a baby shower or a lobola lunch
Local tips for East London
Hire firms serving East London mostly work from here: wilsonia, Arcadia and Mdantsane. The bookings that come up most: funeral and umgidi tents and chairs, government marquees. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the truck can reach a village yard after rain, and the distance fee.
Bookings range widely: from 5 cloths to 100 or more. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for white or black cloths on the trestles for the meal after the service. One local point to raise: trucks across the city; rural villages and Qonce usually pay a distance fee.
