Projectors and Screens For Hire Near You

Choosing Your Kit for Classic British Venues

Across the UK, our events often take place in wonderfully unique, and sometimes challenging, spaces. A draughty village hall or a rustic barn requires a different approach to a purpose-built conference centre.

• Village Halls and School Halls: These are the backbone of community events. They’re brilliant, versatile spaces, but they often come with large windows and less-than-perfect blackout blinds. This means you need a projector with a high lumen count (a measure of brightness) to ensure your image is punchy and clear, not pale and washed out. A large, sturdy screen is also a must to make an impact in a big room.
• Barns and Marquees: Perfect for that 'rustic barn big-screen' wedding or party. The main things to consider here are power and stability. You’ll need to make sure you have a reliable power source nearby. The ground can also be uneven, so a robust screen is essential. A clever option for these venues is rear projection, where the projector sits behind the screen. It keeps all the tech neatly hidden, preserving that beautiful rustic aesthetic.
• Sports Pavilions and Clubhouses: Often a little smaller and cosier, these spaces are great for more intimate gatherings. A simple tripod screen and a compact, portable projector are often all you need to get the job done. They are easy to set up and don’t take up too much precious floor space.

Your vision for your event is what matters most. A good supplier will be able to listen to your plans and the quirks of your venue, and recommend a package that is uniquely yours. This flexibility ensures the final result is a personal experience that perfectly matches your expectations.

Your Pre-Hire Checklist: Questions to Ask Anywhere in the UK

Before you commit, it’s always worth asking a few key questions. This helps avoid any nasty surprises on the day and ensures everything runs like clockwork.

Here’s a quick checklist to run through with any potential supplier:

• What areas of the UK do you deliver to?
• Is the price for a 'dry hire' (you collect and set up) or does it include delivery and installation?
• What cables and adapters come with the projector? (Crucially, does it have an HDMI port?).
• How much space will the screen and projector setup take up?
• What are the power requirements for the equipment?
• What is your backup plan if there's a technical issue on the day?

It can feel like a lot to remember, but a professional supplier will have clear answers for all these questions. Forget the stress of wondering if everything is on track. At Poptop, we provide you with clear communication at every stage of the planning process. By knowing exactly what's happening and when, you can feel confident and relaxed.

What Does Projector Hire Cost Across the UK?

One of the best things about projector hire is that it delivers a lot of bang for your buck. Prices across the UK typically range from £110 to £350, depending on the spec of the kit and the level of service you need.

• £110–£160: The Community Essentials Kit. This is your perfect, budget-friendly option for a quiz night, a parish meeting, or a small school event. It will usually include a reliable HD projector and a simple screen that you collect and set up yourself.
• £170–£250: The Wedding and Party Package. This is the most popular choice for big personal events. It includes a brighter, more powerful projector suitable for a barn or marquee, a larger screen, and often includes delivery, setup, and collection. It’s the stress-free option.
• £260–£350+: The Premium Cinema Experience. If you want to create a high-impact event like a major fundraiser or a special outdoor screening, this is the package for you. It’ll include a top-of-the-range projector (perhaps even 4K), a huge screen, and sometimes a sound system and on-site technician too.
