Handwash units for hire

It will come as no surprise that our portable hand washing stations are always in demand throughout the year. Our handwashing stations are free-standing and don’t require any plumbing, but do require access to 240 electric. Furthermore, with increasing numbers of outdoor catering and temporary catering events taking place, this lead to rising demand to hire portable hand washing stations.

This range of hand sanitiser station rental online here at Event Hire UK is unrivalled.  In here, you’ll find our automatic hand sanitizer dispenser, our hand sanitizer dispenser and refills and also our touch free hand sanitizer dispenser, some of which are used for indoor settings and others which can be used outdoors.

Heating & cooling equipment hire for temporary event production offices

For large scale events such as festivals, air shows, major sports events and other big occasions, the planning and set-up begins months in advance.  One of the first things to go onto site is the temporary event planning office from which everything can be co-ordinated.  This is where your team will ‘live’ in the weeks and sometimes months in the lead up to the big event.

There are a number of key elements that you need to get right so that your team are well catered for and so that they can work effectively, efficiently and productively. Obviously they will need desks, chairs, cupboards and cabinets, for instance, along with power, Wi-Fi and phone lines of course.  At the same time, you’ll need to provide basic amenities such as a water cooler dispenser!

And, of course, don’t forget that your staff will need to be working at a comfortable temperature, and this is where our range of heating and cooling equipment hire comes into its own.

Speak to us today and benefit from our wealth of experience in the events and hospitality industry or, if you’re ready to move ahead, simply place your secure order online 24/7 – either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

FAQs about Event Accessories Hire

What’s the smartest way to manage guest flow at large indoor events?

Renting retractable barriers or ropes and posts is one of the most effective and affordable ways to manage queues and crowd control discreetly. These accessories create a professional look while keeping entry points safe and efficient, especially at venues like exhibition centres and conference halls.

Are handwash and sanitiser stations still essential for temporary venues?

Yes, portable handwashing units and touch-free sanitiser dispensers remain key for hygiene across UK event sites. Whether it’s a catering zone at a food festival or a temporary production office at a sporting event, this type of hire helps meet safety standards and gives guests peace of mind.

Can I rent heating or cooling equipment for my event planning office?

Absolutely. From compact desk fans to high-performance velocity fans and plug-in heaters, hiring temperature control equipment is both cost-effective and practical. It’s an easy way to ensure your backstage or site office stays comfortable throughout the event build-up and delivery.

Will I find entertainment add-ons for VIP lounges or player zones as part of your event accessories hire range?

Definitely! You can rent event accessories like retro arcade machines, table tennis tables and gaming hubs across the UK to upgrade your backstage experience. These extras work well in artist green rooms or sports hospitality lounges, helping you deliver a premium, guest-focused environment.

Is it worth hiring smaller extras like water coolers and crowd posts in bulk?

Definitely. When planning for large numbers or multi-day events, bulk accessory rental keeps things smooth and budget-friendly. From hydration points to queue dividers, these often-overlooked items play a big role in keeping both staff and guests happy throughout the event.
