The decorations are coming down, the last mince pie has been eaten, and you might be feeling that familiar post-holiday lull. But for event organisers and party planners across the West Midlands, now’s the perfect time to get your next event in the diary and to grab a great deal on event equipment hire.
As the owner and operator of JET Equipment Hire in Coventry, I know just how busy January and February can get with belated work parties, New Year celebrations, and “catch-up” events for those who couldn’t squeeze everything into December. I’ve seen it all from last-minute birthday bashes to community fundraisers that needed reliable sound and shelter, fast.
Why Post-Holiday Events Are a Hidden Gem
There’s something special about events that happen just after the holidays. Venues are more available, guests are ready for something to look forward to, and you can often secure better rates especially on equipment hire. I remember one January when a regular client called in a panic: their venue’s PA system had failed just hours before a charity quiz night. Thanks to my flexible delivery and setup, I was able to get them up and running with a pro-quality PA package in time for doors opening. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love supporting local events.
What Equipment Do You Need for a Post-Holiday Event?
Whether you’re planning a New Year’s celebration, a corporate kick-off, or a winter birthday, the right kit makes all the difference. Here’s what’s popular this time of year:
- PA Systems: From small gatherings to large halls, my PA packages (starting at £60/day) include everything you need LD Stinger speakers, microphones, stands, and cable covers.
- Mixers: Need to handle multiple mics or sources? I stock the Behringer Xenyx 1204 and the powerful Behringer X32 for bigger events.
- Lighting & Effects: Add atmosphere with simple uplighting or a smoke machine—always a hit on the dance floor!
- Shelter: British weather is unpredictable, so I offer event shelters with sidewalls as part of the Arena PA Pro package.
All packages include free delivery, setup, and strike within the West Midlands – so you can focus on your guests, not the gear.

Why Work With a Local, Independent Hire Company?
I’ve built JET Equipment Hire around personal service and reliability. Unlike the big national firms, you’ll deal with me directly from the first call to the last cable being packed away. I know the local venues, I’ve seen (and solved) most event hiccups, and I’m always happy to offer advice if you’re not sure what you need.
Pro tip: I also offer free access to curated Spotify playlists, so your event sounds as good as it looks!
