Temporary locker hire for events is a product sector in demand. It’s one of those items that is often overlooked, and sometimes tricky to source in the quantities that you need, as you’re often looking at short notice.
Event locker hire has always been an integral part of our range, and you’ll find lockers for hire in our event accessories section here online at Event Hire UK. Of course, the basic premise of a locker is that it is, well, lockable. There are a number of ways that lockers can lock, which you’ll be well versed with – a key, a combination lock, or something even more high-tech.
The issue with temporary locker hire for events, of course, is that we are loaning lockers to stadia, venues and events for a short term period, and we don’t know who the users will be. As a result, combination or keypad lockers tend to be problematic, as does anything else apart from key lockable security lockers.
In today’s blog article, we’re looking at the top 5 places where you could need event locker hire for events. You may or may not have thought about these settings, just as not many people would have thought about the increased demand for locker hire during COVID in the Nightingale hospitals, for instance.

Every national and international sports event as The Open golf or international tennis tournaments have a huge amount of infrastructure behind the scenes, both in terms of hospitality and also media centres. Obviously, the larger the event, the larger and better kitted out your media centre needs to be. You’ll need to hire tables, office chairs, and maybe even set up a temporary café or catering zone and, of course, lockers.
Why locker hire for events? Well, members of the media won’t be sitting in the media centre all day, every day, across the period of the event. They will need to be attending press conferences, or going out on to the course or arenas to conduct player interviews and so on. They need to be confident, when they leave the media centre, that their cameras and personal belongings aren’t going to go missing. What better way to do this, therefore, in your temporary media centre than with locker hire for events!
Exhibitions and trade shows are another great example of where event locker hire comes into its own. Exhibitors spend a lot of money on exhibition stands in a bid to make them as engaging and welcoming as possible for delegates visiting the exhibition venue. That said, the staff who are manning the exhibition stand also need to be catered for in terms of comfort and efficiency, so why include a little back-of-house area as part of your exhibition stand design, which houses a fridge, maybe a coat stand, perhaps a coffee maker, and certainly some locker hire for events.
These lockers are not for delegates, but for the staff on the stand who want to put their personal belongings somewhere safe. It might be their tablet or laptop, mobile phone, keys and other belongings that they don’t want to be carrying around in their pocket for 8 hours during the exhibition. Locker hire for events, therefore, is the obvious answer.
UK sports stadia are extremely well kitted out in general, especially the higher league clubs, as they are welcoming thousands of fans at least once a fortnight. Again, behind the scenes, there is a whole world that many people don’t see, with one of these being the requirements for many temporary, casual waiting staff to service the corporate hospitality boxes.
Often students looking for casual work, there is normally a high turnover of staff, and these people all need somewhere to put their belongings when they get changed from their normal clothes into the club uniform. Again, event locker hire is perfect for this setting.
