Exhibition Game Hire in Sheffield
Interactive games for exhibition stands, trade shows, and corporate events in Sheffield. DB Entertainment is based in Rotherham, 10 to 15 minutes from Sheffield city centre. This is our home city.
Sheffield is where DB Entertainment started, and it's still where we're based. Our 25,000 sq ft warehouse sits in Rotherham, five minutes from Junction 33 of the M1, which puts us closer to Sheffield venues than to anywhere else we deliver. We own 95% of our hire stock in-house, so your exhibition games come straight from our warehouse to your stand with no sub-hiring and no middlemen. We've been supplying interactive games to exhibitions and corporate events for over 25 years, working with clients including Amazon, Specsavers, Red Bull, and Vodafone.
Exhibition games give visitors a reason to stop at your stand. A quick round on a Batak or a go on a branded prize crane keeps people on your plot long enough for your team to start a conversation, scan a badge, or hand over a brochure. We carry over 40 exhibition games for hire. Hit the green button on any product to add it to your quote and we'll get back to you the same day.
Exhibition Venues in Sheffield
Sheffield City Hall on Barkers Pool hosts trade fairs, corporate conferences, and award ceremonies. We've delivered exhibition games to events in the Oval Hall and the Memorial Hall, and we know the access arrangements and load-in routes. Being 15 minutes away means we can deliver during early-morning build-up and collect after teardown without overnight charges.
The Utilita Arena Sheffield (formerly Sheffield Arena) on Broughton Lane seats 13,600 and hosts large-scale exhibitions, conferences, and brand activations alongside its concert programme. We've supplied interactive games for corporate hospitality and exhibitor stands at arena events, and the venue is a straightforward drive from our Rotherham base.
Cutlers' Hall on Church Street is Sheffield's premier venue for formal corporate events, dinners, and conferences. The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University both host trade fairs, careers events, and freshers' fairs where exhibitors use interactive games to stand out. We've also delivered to Abbeydale Sports Club and venues across the S1 to S36 postcode area. Whatever the venue, our team already knows how to get there.
Popular Exhibition Games
These six games are our most requested for exhibition stands and trade shows in Sheffield. Each one runs from a single 13-amp socket and fits within a standard 3m x 3m shell scheme.
“Such a great idea for our event. The queues for the grabber never went down all night. The branding...”
— Verity Watson

Stand Branding
Most of our exhibition games can carry your branding. Our in-house graphics team produces custom sticker transfers that are applied before delivery and removed after your hire period. For the Batak Pro, pricing is:
- Branded back panel: £99
- 12 branded target buttons: £49
- Back panel + buttons: £125
Send us your artwork and we handle production and application. Because our branding team works out of the same Rotherham warehouse, turnaround for Sheffield exhibitions is as fast as it gets. For multi-day events at Sheffield City Hall or the Utilita Arena, the branding is built to stay sharp throughout the full run.
What's Included
- Delivery, setup, and collection by our own team in our own vehicles (10 to 15 minutes from our warehouse to most Sheffield venues)
- Full operational tutorial so your stand staff can run the games
- 24-hour telephone support throughout your event
- £5 million public liability insurance
- Risk assessments, method statements, and insurance certificates sent to you and your venue before the event
- Invoicing with 30-day payment terms for corporate and agency bookings
Everything comes on one delivery, on one invoice, from one supplier. If you need a trained attendant to run games on your stand, we can supply that too. And because Sheffield is our home patch, last-minute requests and same-day changes are easier to accommodate here than anywhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver exhibition games to Sheffield?
Yes. Sheffield is our home city. Our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham is 10 to 15 minutes from Sheffield city centre, and we cover every S postcode from S1 through to S36. We've been delivering to Sheffield venues for over 25 years and we work regularly with Sheffield City Council.
Will the games fit on my exhibition stand?
All six games listed above run from a single 13-amp socket and fit within a standard 3m x 3m shell scheme. The Batak Pro needs roughly 2.5m x 2m of floor space. The Atari Pong and Prize Crane have smaller footprints and work in corners or against back walls. Tell us your stand dimensions when you request a quote and we'll recommend the best fit.
Can I hire games for a multi-day exhibition?
Yes. We regularly supply games for two, three, and four-day events. Multi-day hire is priced per event rather than per day, so it doesn't cost double for a two-day show. We deliver during build-up and collect after breakdown.
How far in advance should I book?
For busy periods, we'd recommend booking four to six weeks ahead. We carry large stock, but popular games like the Batak Pro and Prize Crane get booked up during peak exhibition season (September to November and January to March). Call us on 0114 345 0135 to check availability.
Do you provide risk assessments for the venue?
Yes. Every hire includes £5 million public liability insurance, risk assessments, method statements, and insurance certificates. We email these to you and directly to the venue or event organiser before the event. Sheffield City Hall, the Utilita Arena, and most university venues require these documents from all suppliers, and we send them as standard.
What's the advantage of hiring locally?
Being based in Rotherham means lower delivery costs for Sheffield events, faster response times if anything needs adjusting on the day, and the ability to handle last-minute bookings that a supplier travelling from further afield couldn't. Our team knows Sheffield's venues, loading bays, and access routes because we use them every week.
