Why should you hire your next exhibition stand?
Hiring an exhibition stand is an excellent option if you don’t exhibit regularly, are new to exhibiting, or lack storage space.
Hiring is often better for the environment, too. There’s a long-held belief in the exhibitions industry that sustainable stands are expensive. But that needn’t be the case: by renting, recycling and repurposing, your exhibition presence becomes much more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
While hiring your stand is a cost-effective and sustainable way to exhibit, owning a custom-built stand gives you maximum design flexibility. So why not combine the two and bring together hired and customised elements to create a bespoke exhibition display?
Our flexible approach enables you to buy or hire a stand (or do a bit of both!) without compromising on quality.
- Hire everything from the stand to the TV!
- Enquiry to quote within 48hrs.
- Exhibition stand design, build and installation.
- See your stand pre-built at our workshop before the installation.
- We cover all major exhibition locations
- Excellent customer reviews.
- Experienced team.

When to choose a stand hire option
Exhibiting at a one-off event?
We have a range of equipment to hire. You can create a cost-efficient, bespoke exhibition display for that all-important event without the costs and storage logistics associated with a custom-built stand.
Are you exhibiting in more than one location at the same time?
If you have two exhibitions running close together or simultaneously, consider hiring a stand for one or both events.
Hiring a stand will save you time, money – and stress! – when you’re attending two events in a short space of time. There’ll be no rush to repair or redesign the stand in between shows.
do you need to transport your stand from one country to another?
Regardless of where you are based, you will still have a dedicated manager working with you from start to finish.
We’ll help with managing your electrics, flooring and furniture so that your exhibition stand is ready to go when you arrive.
You’re welcome to see your stand constructed in our workshop, either in-person or virtually, beforehand.
do you want to road-test a new exhibition idea before committing?
Are you new to exhibiting and want to ensure your stand meets your needs before committing to buying it?
Are you looking to freshen up your stand and how you use it?
Or, are you considering meeting rooms or virtual reality technology?
If you hire an exhibition stand, you can effectively ‘road-test’ your ideas to see how our flexible modular system will work for you and your brand before committing to buying your own stand.
Whether you hire or buy, you’ll benefit from our outstanding customer service from start to finish, and we’ll work with you to find practical solutions to connect your brand with your customers.
do you want to collaborate and share the cost?
If you’re collaborating with internal brands or external brand partnerships, renting your exhibition stand and sharing the cost may be wise.
Hiring a stand means you can create specific graphics for a one-off initiative or marketing campaign without ownership, simplifying the process and allowing you to focus on what you want to achieve at the exhibition.
do you only want an exhibition stand for a short period of time?
Perhaps you’re using an exhibition stand for a roadshow or doing a series of exhibitions but won’t use the stand afterwards.
In this situation, hiring a stand is ideal and will ensure you don’t invest in something that won’t see much use past a certain point.

This makes it a versatile, lightweight, easy to transport and cost-effective solution for exhibitors rather than undertaking a custom build, which is a unique and personalised display stand that is specifically designed and built to meet the specific requirements of an individual exhibitor.

Can we hire furniture from you?
Another resounding yes. We want to give you the best value for money. We don’t believe it makes sense to buy furniture for it only to be used for a few days of the year, which is why we offer a hire service.
How do I know what my stand will look like?
Are you worried about whether your stand will look different from the visual you approved on paper? You don’t need to be, as we build it in our workshop prior to the exhibition so you can see the stand exactly as it will look on the big day. We want you to turn up at your exhibition stand at the venue knowing what to expect, having seen it in the flesh a few weeks prior.
Exhibition stand hire prices
Stand hire is an economical option if you don’t plan to exhibit regularly, are looking to try a new concept due to a rebrand, or are new to exhibiting and want to see how well it works for you before committing to your own stand.
Several factors will influence the price to hire, including the size of the space you have booked; the destination of your exhibition space; what you are looking to achieve from exhibiting; and the products or services you are showcasing.
Our friendly exhibition team is experienced at walking you through the process. They will give you all the support you need to achieve a booth that looks and feels like yours, whilst attracting your target audience.

Is hiring my stand a cheap option?
This completely depends on what you are looking to achieve. Common reasons people hire their booth include:
- They do not have anywhere to store a booth
- They are looking at experimenting with new ideas and concepts
They have never exhibited and keen to try it out - They do not exhibit regularly enough to warrant the outlay of owning their own booth
- Different teams within a company regularly exhibit and you need to change the graphics frequently
If you regularly exhibit or plan to do so, and have a very clear idea of what you are looking to achieve, then owning your own trade booth is certainly worth considering.
Can I hire a modular exhibition stand?
If you are looking for flexibility without overheads or storage issues, then hiring a completely customisable, flexible and adaptable modular exhibition stand is ideal. If different divisions or teams within your business are sharing the stand, and you need to change the graphics to suit different audiences – no problem!
We can work with you to create a modular exhibition stand that makes an impact without starting the design and build from scratch every time. We also give you the opportunity to see the stand fully set up before the big day, to make sure you are 100% happy.
