Branded Game Hire Isle of Wight

Events on the Isle of Wight have something special — a local buzz, a coastal backdrop, and a mix of visitors and residents ready to get involved. At Expo Play, we help businesses and event organisers across the island make the most of that energy through branded game hire that combines fun with real promotional power.
From festival stands in Ryde to trade shows in Newport, we deliver custom-branded games that draw attention, spark interaction, and help your brand stand out.
Newport Business Events with a Difference
If you’re exhibiting or promoting at a conference or trade show in Newport, you need more than a well-designed leaflet. We provide Exhibition Games that actively pull people into your stand — creating natural conversation starters and giving you more time with your audience.
Choose attention-grabbing options like the Batak Pro, The Vault, or Basketball Slam Dunk, all available with Custom Branding that aligns with your campaign.
Seafront Fun in Ryde and Sandown
Planning a public-facing promotion or retail activation near the seafront in Ryde, Sandown or Shanklin? We offer Funfair Side Stalls & Games that are compact, eye-catching, and easy to set up outdoors.
Popular choices include the Coconut Shy, Hook a Duck, and Ball in the Bucket — each one fully brandable and adaptable for family events, festivals, and tourism campaigns.
Branded Fun at Island Festivals and Fairs
With events like the Isle of Wight Festival and Cowes Week drawing huge crowds, standing out among vendors and sponsors is essential. Branded games provide a perfect mix of entertainment and promotion.
From Prize Crane Grabber machines filled with your giveaways to Photo Mosaic Wall displays that turn audience selfies into a visual campaign, we offer creative options that fit festival culture and maximise exposure.
Community & Campus Events in Ventnor and Cowes
From school open days and university fairs to community fundraisers and seasonal shows, our Custom Branded Games bring playfulness and professionalism to any setting.
In Ventnor, Cowes, and East Cowes, we’ve supported organisers with games like Dance Machine, Retro Arcade Machine Table, and Pixel Play — ideal for engaging young audiences and making memories that stick.

Custom Branded Game Hire Isle of Wight – FAQs
Expo Play provides Custom Branded Games across the Isle of Wight, supplying branded entertainment for exhibitions, festivals, and community events. From Newport and Ryde to Sandown and Cowes, our team delivers interactive games that are tailored to your brand and designed to engage audiences. Below we answer some frequently asked questions from Isle of Wight clients.
Which branded games work best for outdoor island festivals?
Outdoor festivals are a big part of the Isle of Wight’s event calendar. Traditional Funfair Side Stalls & Games such as Hook a Duck, Coconut Shy, and Down a Clown are always popular with families. To add variety, Giant Garden Games like Giant Jenga and Giant Connect Four encourage casual fun and are easy to brand for maximum exposure.
Do you provide compact branded games for exhibitions?
Yes. For exhibitions and conferences, especially in smaller venues, we recommend compact Exhibition Games. Options like The Vault, Strike a Light 2 Players, and Play it Back Memory Game 2 Players fit neatly into limited spaces but still draw crowds. These are particularly effective for Corporate Events where you want to generate leads while entertaining guests.
Are there high-tech branded options for modern audiences?
Definitely. Our Arcade Games such as the Dance Machine and Racing Simulator are great for interactive digital engagement. The Pixel Play also allows you to incorporate brand visuals and messaging directly into the gameplay. These high-tech options are especially effective at larger venues like the ExCeL London, where competition for attention is high.
Can branded games help with giveaways and lead capture?
Yes. Prize Games are designed for this purpose. The Prize Crane Grabber lets you fill the machine with branded merchandise, while the Crack the Safe creates excitement with the chance to unlock prizes. These activities combine fun with a structured way to capture customer data and build awareness.
What support do you provide during Isle of Wight events?
We handle delivery, installation, and breakdown. Our staff also remain available for support, ensuring the games run smoothly throughout the event. With extensive experience at national venues such as the Olympia London, we are used to managing tight schedules and ensuring every setup is professional.
How do you ensure safety at public and private events?
All of our equipment is maintained to HSE standards, inspected regularly, and PAT-tested where needed. Public liability insurance is included as standard, and we can supply RAMS and risk assessments on request. From Basketball Slam Dunk to Test Your Strength, safety is built into every setup.
Do you provide seasonal or themed branded games?
Yes. For summer festivals we offer bright, colourful Sports Games, while for winter activations our Christmas Games like Christmas Funfair Games are extremely popular. These options help you align your entertainment with the season while still delivering a branded message.
Can branded games be paired with catering or furniture hire?
Absolutely. Many clients book packages that combine games with Catering and Furniture & Furnishings. For example, you might hire a Roll a Ball Racing Game alongside a Retail Chalet serving refreshments and provide Deck Chair seating for visitors to relax. This creates a cohesive, branded environment at your Isle of Wight event.
How can I arrange a booking?
It’s simple — use our contact page or call our team to discuss your requirements. We’ll recommend the best games for your venue, provide branding options, and supply a tailored quote. Whether you’re hosting a festival, exhibition, or university event, our Custom Branded Games are designed to make your Isle of Wight occasion stand out.
