Looking for a lively, nostalgic or downright competitive addition to your next event? Arcade Game Hire from Party Central transforms a quiet corner into a high-score hotspot — think glowing screens, familiar soundtracks and guests who forget to check their phones. We act as the bridge between you and carefully vetted suppliers, taking the stress out of sourcing, delivery and setup so you can enjoy the moment.
If you’re wondering Why choose Party Central, it’s because we combine local knowledge with rigorous supplier checks and a customer-first booking experience. We don’t simply list suppliers — we assess equipment condition, verify public liability insurance, and confirm logistics before you commit. That means reliable cabinets, clear communication and events that run smoothly.
Classic joystick-and-button machines that bring the golden arcade era to life. Guests love the tactile feel of joystick controls and the pixel-perfect versions of games they grew up with. Book Retro cabinets for a strong nostalgic draw at weddings or reunions.
Compact units with dozens of titles built in — ideal when variety matters. Our suppliers supply multi-game cabinets that are easy to position and simple to power up, giving each guest the option to pick a favourite without queueing. Consider Modern multi-game cabinets for corporate socials and birthday parties where different age groups mingle.
High-adrenaline set-ups that create instant spectacle. They demand a little more space but reward you with memorable moments, event photos and natural competition. If you hire Racing simulators, we’ll advise on placement, power and safety to keep everything smooth and safe.
For events that want interaction and prizes, these machines encourage playful competition and add opportunities for giveaways. Prize claw and ticket games are great for family-friendly events, fundraising or brand activations.
Looking to surprise your guests with something different? Weddings benefit from a mix of nostalgic entertainment and relaxed competition — lighter during the drinks reception, we ramp up for evening entertainment.
For team-building, awards nights or product launches, Corporate events gain energy and informal networking around machines. We can match games to tone — polished multi-game cabinets for a professional event or retro classics for an informal social.
Birthdays, anniversaries or house parties — Private parties welcome arcade fun because it’s inclusive, nostalgic and instantly engaging. Suppliers provide clear setup guidance so the party starts on time.
Whether it’s an indoor stage area or an outdoor fun zone, Festivals benefit from bold attractions that draw crowds. We work with suppliers who can handle high footfall and quick maintenance rotations.
We co-ordinate delivery windows, site layouts and power requirements so you don’t have to. Our team confirms exact dimensions, provides a recommended placement plan and liaises with suppliers to ensure arrival, setup and collection happen on schedule. Expect clear arrival times, professional staff where needed, and an operations contact during the hire.
Safety isn’t negotiable. We require suppliers to complete safety checks, hold current insurance, and follow PAT testing where applicable. Routine maintenance and sanitisation between hires are standard practice — we’ll share the checks we’ve completed so you can organise confidently.
Booking with Party Central is straightforward: tell us your date, venue and the atmosphere you want to create, and we’ll propose suitable machines and suppliers. Steps typically look like this:
| Machine type | Typical footprint | Power requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Retro cabinets | 0.8–1.0m² | Single 13A socket |
| Modern multi-game cabinets | 0.6–1.2m² | Single 13A socket |
| Racing simulators | 2–4m² (depending on rig) | May require dedicated 13A or 16A |
