Arcade Hire for Liverpool Events
DB Entertainment delivers arcade machines to venues across Merseyside. Our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham is five minutes from the M1, and Liverpool is a straight run west along the M62, around 1 hour 15 minutes. We've supplied games and interactive entertainment to exhibitions at ACC Liverpool, corporate events at the M&S Bank Arena, and brand activations at Liverpool ONE.
Most arcade machines need a standard 13A socket and 5–10 sq ft of floor space, so they fit into conference centre function rooms, hotel lobbies, exhibition stands, and office breakout spaces without any structural changes. Amazon recently hired a multi-game package with branded interactive games for a corporate event at the Hilton Hotel Liverpool City Centre. We also deliver regularly to the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on Kings Dock, and to Liverpool John Moores University for freshers' fairs and student events at their Student Life Building on Copperas Hill. We cover venues across wider Merseyside including Croxteth Park for outdoor community events and fun days.
Build an Arcade Zone
One arcade machine is a nice addition to an event. Three to six machines create a proper arcade zone that guests keep coming back to throughout the evening. We hire two retro arcade cabinets together from £495/day, and we put together package prices when you hire more machines alongside them.
A typical corporate arcade zone might include two retro cabinets (Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong), an Atari Pong table in a lounge area, and a Dance Machine as the social centrepiece. Total cost: roughly £1,500 for four machines, delivered and set up. Add a Prize Crane filled with branded merchandise and you've turned a dinner-and-drinks evening into something people actually remember. For a Christmas party of 100 people at a Liverpool hotel, that's less than the bar tab and substantially more memorable.
Because we carry over 50 arcade and interactive games, you're not limited to a handful of options. We can mix retro cabinets, racing simulators, prize machines, and dance games to suit your space and your audience. And because we supply fun food, Batak Pro reaction games, photo booths, and Grab a Grand cash grabbers too, the whole event comes from one supplier on one invoice.
