If you are organising a large event or convention, then why not appoint Replay Events to add a fun and exciting video gaming display to your show; something which is guaranteed to leave your attendees talking for weeks and weeks to come!

The provision of a Replay Retro Zone is becoming an increasingly popular feature at trade shows and gaming events, whilst the addition of our Replay Game Zone (which features classics and/or modern favourites) is an ideal way of offering a novel and enjoyable diversion for guests at a regular conference, trade show or exhibition.

Replay Events can assist in the design and planning of the display, provide machines, games and artwork and supply knowledgeable technicians to setup and even staff your exhibit. We have technicians up and down the country and are able to travel to almost anywhere within the UK.

EXAMPLES of bespoke packages are available on the Packages page, which includes a full inventory of available systems.

If you prefer to setup your own event we can have equipment couriered to any UK address or you are welcome to collect from our offices in Blackpool. If you are local we may be able to deliver for a small fee. See our Dry Hire page for more information on having kit delivered.

All of our equipment is fully PAT tested, RoHS compliant and is regularly cleaned and serviced, whilst our technicians all hold up-to-date CRB disclosures. Your safety and peace of mind is our priority.

We are also able to assist in the organisation of your event and can provide direction and consultancy on all aspects of event management.
