Exhibition Pricing
Trade show booth costs vary based on size, design, materials, and extras like shipping or setup fees. Plan smart—rent for one-offs, go modular for multiple shows, and prioritise impact to make every dollar count.

How Much Does a Trade Show Booth Really Cost?
At Wizard Exhibitions we get it—planning a trade show booth is exciting, but the cost question can feel daunting. Whether you’re new to exhibiting or a seasoned pro, we’re here to break down what drives booth costs in a clear, honest way, so you can budget smart and make your mark. Let’s dive into the key factors and how we help you get the most value for your money.

The Starting Point
A shell scheme stand is the go-to for a straightforward, cost-effective setup. Provided by the event organizer, it includes basic walls, carpet, and lighting in a standard square or rectangular layout. Expect to pay around £1,700 and up for the structure hire, fascia board, and carpet. To make it your own, you’ll need to add furniture and custom graphics. A shell scheme kit with seamless graphics is an affordable way to elevate the look and make your brand pop without breaking the bank.

Materials and Features
The materials you pick can stretch or shrink your budget. Lightweight, portable setups with fabric graphics are easy on the wallet and a breeze to assemble. Want to level up with premium touches like sleek wood, metal accents, or sustainable bamboo? That’ll bump up the price, but oh man, does it make an impression. Extras like touchscreens, custom lighting, or cozy furniture rentals (because who doesn’t love a comfy seat?) add to the tab, too. The good news? We love mixing high-impact features, like vibrant LEDs, with cost-smart basics to keep your booth stunning yet affordable.
But also bare in mind you’ve got to plan for extras like shipping, setup, and tear-down fees. Hauling a large custom stand across states? That’s a chunk of change. Some venues tack on labor or storage costs, so we always recommend checking with organisers early. If you’re hitting multiple shows, factor in storage or graphic updates, too. Our advice? We provide crystal-clear quotes upfront, so you’re never blindsided by hidden fees.
