Boutique Party Hire supplies and installs commercial arcade machines into soft play centres, indoor play venues, family entertainment centres and children’s leisure attractions across the UK.
Arcade machines can provide additional entertainment for older children, teenagers, parents and families while helping suitable venues make better use of waiting areas, cafés and underused customer-facing floor space.
We can provide anything from one or two family-friendly machines to a larger multi-machine games area, depending on your venue, footfall and available space.
Suitable machines can include:
Basketball Arcade Games
Racing Games
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinets
Reaction Games
Skill Games
Interactive Games
Family Arcade Games
Prize Machines
Multiplayer Games
Pool Tables
Other Commercial Arcade Equipment
Long-term commercial arrangements are assessed individually based on the venue and opportunity.

We hired a claw machine through Boutique party hire for our corporate event and it was brilliant! It went down a treat with guests. It was simple to use, dropped off on time and picked up as soon as we were done. The process couldn’t have been simpler. Would definitely recommend.

We have used Charlottes services a couple of times now and we couldn’t be happier, she will always be our go to person from now forth because she always delivers even when we have super last minute bookings. They are professional, helpful and reasonably priced – we love working with Charlotte and her team! I would highly recommend! Love A x
