Claw machine hire for events
A claw machine works just as well on a trade show stand as at a countryside wedding. Everyone knows how to play, everyone wants a go and every prize is a small celebration. Here is how to make the most of it for your event.

Four ways to use a claw machine

More occasions
A claw machine for parties and celebrations
As well as the four main event types, we hire claw machines for many other occasions:
- birthdays, first communions and private parties in country houses and restaurants;
- university festivals, clubs and night-time parties;
- film shoots, photo sessions and shop windows;
- sports fan zones and outdoor events;
- special dates such as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
When you want everyone to win something, pair the claw machine with the giant gumball machine or the surprise capsule machine. And for evening events, the LED prize claw machine shines brightest.
Why it works
What a prize machine brings to your event
- It draws people in without explanation. It makes sense at a glance and passers-by stop to watch.
- It hands out gifts with excitement. A prize that is won feels more valuable than one that is handed over.
- It puts your brand centre stage. Wraps, panels and branded prizes show up in photos and on social media.
- It runs itself. No staff needed: we leave it ready and support you by phone if required.
The machines
Which machine to choose for your event
Claw machines are a game of skill. Gumball machines give a prize every time. Often the best option is to combine both.

Event questions
Which machine is best for an event with lots of people?
If you want everyone to take something home, the giant gumball machine: each go takes a few seconds. For a show and a queue, the claw machine. And for big crowds, several machines at once.
Does it need staff during the event?
No. The machine runs on its own. We show you how to restock prizes in a few minutes and support you by phone or video call.
Can it go outdoors?
Yes, at the client’s responsibility. Sun is fine, but if it rains it must be covered and the electrics protected.
Do you hire for private parties?
Yes: weddings, birthdays, first communions and parties at home or in country houses. We mainly work with agencies, but also with private clients.
