Event Infrastructure and Equipment Hire: How We Are Making Site Logistics Simpler
If you have ever managed a festival build, a city centre activation, or a large scale sporting event, you know the drill. You need 200 meters of crowd control barriers, a dozen light towers, and a power distribution setup and you need them yesterday.
At Number 8, we have spent years on the ground. We know that the behind the scenes kit is what keeps an event safe and moving. But we also know that hiring that kit is often more of a headache than it needs to be. That is why we have changed how we do things.
Who is Number 8
We are not just a warehouse full of gear. We are a team of event professionals, site crew, and project managers. Based in the South East, we provide event equipment hire in London and across the UK, specializing in the infrastructure that makes events possible.
From pedestrian barriers and Heras fencing to site lighting and welfare units, we provide the physical skeleton for your event. Whether you just need a dry hire where we drop it off and you set it up or a full site management service where our crew handles the install, we adapt to what your production actually needs.
A Simpler Way to Hire Event Equipment
We realized that the old way of doing things, like digging through PDF catalogues and waiting days for a callback, was not working for modern event timelines. We have built our website to act as a functional tool for site managers.

Why Focus on Simplicity
The event industry is fast paced and, frankly, stressful enough. We believe that the boring parts of your event, such as the fencing, the power, and the logistics, should be the easiest parts to tick off your to do list.
By putting our inventory online and streamlining the request process, we are cutting out the fluff. You get the kit you need, we get the logistics sorted, and the event stays on schedule.
