Manchester Central is the exhibition and conference complex at Petersfield, M2 3GX, built inside the old central railway station with its big arched glass roof still overhead. The main exhibition hall gives 10,000 square metres of column-free space, backed by the 804-seat Exchange Auditorium, the 1,800 square metre Exchange Hall and over 23,000 square metres of flexible space in total, with capacity for events of 10,000-plus.
We deliver exhibition games and event kit to Manchester Central regularly, and in spring 2026 we built the games for the Specsavers stand there: a Batak Pro reaction wall and a Whack a Mole fully wrapped in Specsavers branding. Between Manchester Central, ExCeL London and the NEC Birmingham, we make several deliveries a week to the big UK exhibition venues, so build-up days, loading docks and venue paperwork are routine for us.
The kit that earns its floor space on a stand here is compact and quick to reset between players: Batak Pro walls, Whack a Mole, a prize crane stocked with your own giveaways, racing car simulators and the wider arcade games range. Our in-house branding team can wrap most games in your artwork so the stand carries your brand rather than ours, and photo booths print branded photos on the spot for conference and event guests.
We've been hiring out exhibition equipment since 1999, everything travels down in our own vehicles with our own setup staff, and every hire carries £5 million public liability insurance. Risk assessments and method statements go to you or the venue before the show opens. Put your kit list together as an online quote and we'll price it the same day, or get in touch to talk through multi-day runs.
