Renting champagne glasses?

Anyone have any idea where I can do this? They need to be the old fashioned saucer style rather than the modern slimmer ones as we want to make a champagne fountain. We live in the North East if thats of any help!

    Try this company:

    https://www.a1champagnefountains.co.uk

    They have modern flute styles and saucer styles

    (the saucers are near the bottom)
    Not used them myself, but they seem quite reasonable?

  • Might be worth trying Waitrose - they offer free glass hire - you just pay £1 for any you break. We did it a while back and they were more than happy to let us have over 100 wine glasses
