Exhibition Game Hire in Manchester
Hire interactive games for your exhibition stand or trade show in Manchester. Delivered, set up, and collected by DB Entertainment from our Rotherham warehouse, around 45 minutes away via the M1 and M62.
DB Entertainment has been supplying games and interactive equipment to exhibitions across the UK for over 25 years. We carry over 600 products, and our Exhibition Game Hire range is built specifically for trade shows and conferences: compact footprints, quick player turnaround, and branding options so the game becomes part of your stand rather than sitting next to it. We've completed 252 bookings across Greater Manchester, and exhibition work at Manchester Central, the Etihad Stadium, and Old Trafford makes up a solid chunk of that.
Exhibition Venues in Manchester
Manchester Central Convention Complex is our most frequent exhibition delivery address in the city. We know the loading bay access, the build-up schedules, and the power distribution on the main hall floor. We've also supplied exhibition games to stands at the Etihad Stadium for corporate hospitality events, to Old Trafford for conferences and product launches, to EventCity on Barton Dock Road for consumer shows, and to Victoria Warehouse for brand activations.
Beyond the big venues, we deliver regularly to corporate events at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Harvey Nichols, and The Midland Hotel. DB has over 250 bookings across the Greater Manchester area, and we supply the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan, and the University of Salford for freshers' events each September. Our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham sits five minutes from the M1, and Manchester is a straightforward run down the M62.

“The team are amazing, attentive and quick to get things up and running. We have the best time at our events with some of the games and it makes planning events so much easier. We have used them for years here at Amazon events. Very Reliable.”

Stand Branding
Most of our exhibition games can carry your branding. Our in-house team produces custom graphics as sticker transfers, applied before delivery and removed after your hire period. For the Batak Pro, Prize Crane, and other popular units, branding prices are:
- Branded back panel: £99
- Branded buttons (12 on the Batak Pro): £49
- Back panel + buttons: £125
Send us your artwork and we handle production and fitting. At a busy show like those at Manchester Central, branded games do double duty: they entertain visitors and put your logo in every photo and video taken on your stand.
What's Included
- Delivery, setup, and collection by our own team in our own vehicles
- Full operational briefing so your stand staff can run the game
- £5 million public liability insurance
- Risk assessments, method statements, and insurance certificates sent to you and your venue before the show
- 24-hour telephone support throughout your event

If you'd rather not have your team running the game, we can supply a trained attendant to operate it for the duration of your show. Everything comes from one supplier, on one delivery, on one invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deliver to Manchester Central Convention Complex?
Yes. Manchester Central is one of our most frequent exhibition delivery addresses. We're familiar with the loading bay access, build-up timings, and hall layouts. Our Rotherham warehouse is under 45 minutes away via the M1 and M62, and we deliver to the M postcode area regularly.
What size stand do I need for an exhibition game?
Most of our exhibition games fit within a standard 3m x 3m shell scheme stand. The Batak Pro needs roughly 2.5m x 2m of clear floor space, while the Prize Crane and Strike a Light have smaller footprints. If you tell us your stand dimensions, we can recommend which games will fit and how to lay them out.
How much does exhibition game hire cost in Manchester?
Most exhibition games are £195–£595 per day, with the Batak Pro from £495 and the Prize Crane from £395. We offer discounts when you hire multiple items together. Branding starts at £49 for buttons or £99 for a back panel. Hit the green button on any product page to add it to your quote, and we'll get back to you the same day.
Do you set up the equipment on our stand?
Yes. Our team delivers, sets up, and tests every game on your stand during the build-up period. We give your staff a full operational briefing so they can run the game during show hours. At the end of the event, we collect everything during the breakdown period. If you'd prefer hands-free operation, we can supply a trained attendant for the duration of your show.
Can I hire multiple games for one exhibition stand?
Yes. Many of our exhibition clients hire two or three games for a single stand. A common combination at Manchester Central is a Batak Pro as the main attraction with a Prize Crane running unattended alongside it. We supply everything on one delivery and one invoice, and we can advise on which games work best together for your stand size and audience.
