Mannequin hire for fashion shows, exhibition stands, retail pop-ups, and film productions. Male, female, and child mannequins available.
Mannequin hire is a specific requirement that comes up at fashion shows, exhibition stands, retail pop-ups, costume events, and film and TV productions. We hire male, female, and child mannequins.
\\n\\nExhibition stands at trade shows use mannequins to display clothing, accessories, and uniforms in a way a hanger cannot replicate. A mannequin at eye height draws attention from a distance and gives visitors something specific to look at and photograph. For fashion and uniform brands showing at consumer events, putting key product on a mannequin is more effective than a rail.
\\n\\nRetail pop-ups and market stalls use mannequins to show how garments fit and to give a stall the feel of a proper shop front. A single mannequin in a window or at the front of a stand changes how passersby read the space.
\\n\\nWe hire to film and TV productions, where mannequins are used as set dressing, costume display, or background props. Give us your call date and wrap date when booking and we will schedule delivery and collection to fit your shoot.
\\n\\nOur mannequins are full-body standing figures. They require a small floor footprint and no power or fixings. For exhibition stands, one mannequin per key product works better than trying to display everything at once.
\\nContact us with the number of mannequins you need and your event type to confirm availability.

\nFashion trade shows use mannequins to display garments at the stand rather than on hangers. A dressed mannequin at eye level stops traffic in a way a rail cannot. For catwalk-style displays at retail events, two to four mannequins per brand zone is a common arrangement. Position them facing the main aisle for maximum visibility.
\nFemale mannequins typically display sizes 8 to 12. Male mannequins display sizes 38 to 40 chest. Abstract or headless forms work for accessories and knitwear where facial detail is not needed. Check sizing before booking if the garments are for a specific size range.
\nMannequins come with a calf or floor-mounted stand. Calf-mounted stands are less visible and suit full-length garments. Floor stands give more stability for heavy garments or outdoor settings. All stands are included in the hire price.
\nTemporary retail setups, brand pop-ups, and in-store activations use mannequins alongside display shelving and branded counter units. For a full retail display setup, combine mannequins with display cases and poseur tables.
At a fashion show, mannequins display looks at the entrance or in the pre-show waiting area. Position them with enough space for guests to walk around each piece — 1.5 metres of clearance per mannequin is the standard. At retail events and pop-ups, mannequins go at the front of the space where they stop foot traffic and draw people in.
Trade stands at exhibitions use mannequins to display workwear, uniforms, and merchandise in the booth rather than folded on a table. A dressed mannequin at eye height reads faster than a display stand with a hanger. For long exhibition days, mannequins require no restocking or adjustment once dressed.
Mannequin hire includes a base and adjustable pole. Confirm the floor surface at the venue — some bases scratch polished floors and require felt pads. Full-body mannequins need around 0.5 square metres of floor space including the base. Torso-only mannequins on a pole need less floor space and suit narrow exhibition stands.
