Photo booths for corporate events, freshers fairs, and brand activations in Manchester. Social media booths, magic mirrors, AI booths, and 360 video. Delivered and staffed by DB Entertainment.
DB Entertainment carries five different photo booths, all available for hire in Manchester from £495. Social media uploads direct from the booth, instant photo prints, AI-generated portrait effects, and 360-degree video. Every booth can be branded with your logo and colours. Most come with a professional staff member as standard. We deliver and set up from our Rotherham warehouse, under 45 minutes from central Manchester.

Photo Booth Hire for Manchester Events
DB's 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham is under 45 minutes from central Manchester via the M1 and M62. Manchester is one of our busiest delivery regions, with over 80 bookings to Greater Manchester venues and counting.
We've delivered photo booths to Manchester Central for exhibitions and conferences, the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Victoria Warehouse in Trafford Park, the Edwardian Hotel on Peter Street, the Etihad Stadium, Hotel Football, and EventCity on Barton Dock Road. These are venues we know well and have loaded into repeatedly, so setup is quick and we know the access routes.
For freshers events each September, we supply entertainment to the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University, and the University of Salford. The social media booth and AI booth work particularly well at freshers fairs because they generate branded content that students share straight from the stall, giving your brand reach well beyond the event itself.
Amazon hire from DB on a repeat basis for Manchester-area facilities, and companies across MediaCityUK in Salford are regular clients. We supply photo booths alongside Batak Pro reaction games, arcade machines, and fun food stalls for corporate events across Greater Manchester.
Choosing the Right Booth
Each booth does something different. The social media booth uploads branded photos to guests' social accounts during the event. The magic mirror prints physical photos in 10 seconds. The AI booth creates AI-transformed portraits. The 360 booth produces rotating video clips. Here's a quick comparison.
