Supporting Exhibitors Across a Busy Summer Event Season
Summer 2026 is shaping up to be another packed season for UK exhibitions, trade shows, and public industry events. From technology expos and construction showcases to fashion fairs and agricultural shows, businesses across the country will be preparing to compete for attention in busy, high-footfall environments. Expo Play helps brands stand out at these events with engaging Exhibition Games, interactive activations, and branded experiences designed to increase footfall, improve dwell time, and create memorable visitor interactions.
Making an Impact at Major Technology and Industry Events
June brings some of the UK’s biggest industrial and technology-focused exhibitions, including Infosecurity Europe at Exhibition Hire at the ExCeL London, Interplas UK at Exhibition Hire at the NEC Birmingham, and Hillhead 2026 in Buxton.
These events attract highly focused professional audiences, meaning exhibitors need more than just printed materials and static displays to stand out. Interactive games such as Batak Pro, Strike a Light 2 Players, and Crack the Safe are ideal for drawing visitors in while keeping stands professional and engaging.
Helping Outdoor and Agricultural Exhibitors Engage Crowds
Summer also sees large outdoor exhibitions and agricultural events such as the Royal Norfolk Show and Great Yorkshire Show. These events often involve wide open spaces, mixed audiences, and heavy footfall throughout the day.
We support outdoor exhibitors with games suited to open-air environments, including Hook a Duck, Tin Can Alley, and Coconut Shy. These attractions work especially well where brands want approachable, family-friendly engagement while still maintaining a professional exhibition presence.
Creating Stylish Activations for Fashion and Lifestyle Shows
July’s calendar includes major lifestyle and design-led events such as Source Fashion, The London Textile Fair, and Scoop International. These events place a strong emphasis on presentation, aesthetics, and branding.
Our Custom Branded Games are ideal for fashion, design, and luxury brands looking to combine interactivity with visual appeal. Branded options such as Pixel Play, Photo Mosaic Wall, and bespoke prize games can be styled to complement premium stand designs while encouraging engagement.
Supporting Automotive and Specialist Industry Exhibitions
Late summer brings specialist exhibitions such as The British Motor Show at Exhibition Hire Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre. Automotive and engineering events benefit from high-energy, competitive experiences that reflect innovation and performance.
Games like Racing Simulator, Roll a Ball Racing Game, and Basketball Slam Dunk create exciting focal points that naturally align with performance-driven sectors.

We regularly support exhibitors at major UK venues including Exhibition Hire at the ExCeL London, Exhibition Hire at the NEC Birmingham, Exhibition Hire at ACC Liverpool, and Exhibition Hire Harrogate Convention Centre.
