Dance Machine Hire in Manchester

A two-player arcade dance machine with its own PA and LED lights for Manchester events. From £495 plus VAT, delivered, set up and collected by our own team.

Two players step onto the hard dance pads of our Dance Machine, follow the arrows and hit the panels in time with the music, and each side gets its own score. Four games cover music from the 70s to the current charts, every track has beginner-to-expert settings, and the built-in PA and LED arcade lights mean the machine supplies its own sound and light show. Add the magnetic scoreboard if you want a leaderboard running across the whole event, and event staff can be quoted if you'd rather somebody ran it for you.

Dance Machine Hire for Manchester Events

The machine did a full week at Manchester Arena for us, and a private party out towards Altrincham had it for the day in September. Manchester Central Convention Complex is one of the venues we deliver to several times a week, so the route, the loading bays and the recovery crew are all familiar ground, whether the machine is booked for a conference breakout, a Christmas party or an exhibition stand.

The run west up the M1 and M62 takes about an hour from our Rotherham warehouse. We cover city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport and everywhere inside the M60, and multi-day Manchester bookings can be planned together with hires in other cities.

Space, Access and Power

• Unit size 7ft x 7ft, 6.6ft high, with a clear 10ft x 10ft operating area (around 3m x 3m)
• Power: one standard 13A socket
• Indoors on artificial grass or hard floors; outdoors on grass or a suitable hard surface, with a site check first for covered outdoor spots (bare concrete and wood-chip sites don't suit it)
• Delivery, setup, operational briefing and collection in our own vehicles are included; delivery charges may apply
• Generator hire is available as a quoted extra where there's no mains power

Not sure the machine will get through the doors? Tell us about doorways, steps and lifts when you ask for the quote, and we'll plan access before the van leaves. We can send risk assessments and method statements ahead of the event too.

Branding the Dance Machine

Our in-house branding team prints the artwork as sticker transfers, applies it before delivery and takes it off afterwards. We keep the printed lower board for re-use, so repeat hires don't pay for it twice.

• Scoreboard header branding: £29
• Full scoreboard front wrap: £69
• Printed lower board, kept by us for later bookings: £145
• Full machine branding: £345

We've supplied fully branded machines for exhibition stand work, including at Telford International Centre, and campaign marks can go on the centre panels of the dance pads themselves. All branding prices are plus VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dance machine hire cost in Manchester?

Day hire starts at £495 plus VAT. Multi-day and week-long hires are quoted by the date, and some locations carry a minimum spend, so tell us the venue and the dates and we'll confirm the total. Adding another game or two to the same delivery usually works out cheaper per item.

Do you deliver to Manchester?

Yes. It's around an hour from Rotherham up the M1 and M62, and we deliver across Greater Manchester. Every hire is delivered, set up and collected by our own team, with telephone support through the event.

How much space does the machine need?

The pads and screen take a 7ft x 7ft footprint, and we ask for a clear 10ft x 10ft operating area with 6.6ft of height to spare. One standard 13A socket runs it. Indoors is ideal; covered outdoor spots can work with power and a site check.

Can the dance machine be branded?

Yes. Scoreboard header branding starts at £29, a full scoreboard wrap is £69, a printed lower board is £145 and full machine branding is £345, all plus VAT. Our in-house team handles the artwork, application and removal.

What events is it good for?

Staff socials, Christmas parties, school and college events, freshers fairs and exhibition stands are the bread and butter. Scores run themselves, so it works just as well unsupervised as with event staff on hand.

Dance machine hire is also available in Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham.
