Ready to Join the Frenzy?!

FightFest returns to the NEC for Smart Manufacturing Week 2026. Bigger. Louder. More explosive than ever.

Stand out from the usual polite handshakes and branded pens with an exhibit that actually gets people talking (and maybe trying to sneak a peek to see what makes the champion tick).

Leverage FightFest’s unbeatable blend of sport, engineering and glorious mechanical mayhem to launch your brand into the spotlight. Sparks. Noise. A crowd that loves both.

We’ve got packages for all budgets (£500 to £10,000+). Whether you're sponsoring a seasoned metal gladiator or unleashing your own custom war machine, we’ll help you make a serious impact. And maybe even survive the tournament.*

*Victory not guaranteed. But carnage, fun and notoriety definitely are.
