Making Lego® builds easier, cheaper and more fun
rent-a-set was created to make the joy of building LEGO® sets accessible to everyone — without the high cost, storage hassle, or clutter that comes with buying big sets outright.
Whether you’re a family looking for a school-holiday project, a parent planning a birthday surprise, or a LEGO® fan who just loves to build, rent-a-set lets you hire fantastic LEGO® sets, build them at home, and return them easily when you’re done.
Our Mission
To give families and LEGO® fans an affordable, flexible way to build incredible official LEGO® sets — with zero long-term cost or storage stress.
We believe building LEGO® should be fun and accessible, not expensive or impractical. Our mission is to make building big sets possible for every home in the UK.
How rent-a-set started
It began with a simple idea:
Most LEGO® sets — especially the big ones — get built once and then sit on a shelf. They take up space, come with a huge price tag and most people don’t want to buy another big set straight after finishing one.
So we created a better way:
Hire the set you want, build it, enjoy it and return it when you’re done.
No waste. No clutter. No huge price tag.
East Midlands LEGO® Hire – Trusted by Local Builders
While rent-a-set is new as a website, the service behind it isn’t.
For the past 3 years, we’ve been hiring LEGO® sets across the East Midlands, completing 750+ local hires for families, collectors, and LEGO® fans who wanted to build something amazing without the cost or storage headache.
Until now, everything was run through Facebook and Instagram — handling bookings, collections, returns, and customer questions directly. As demand grew, it became clear we needed a proper home for the service.
This website is that next step:
- Easier browsing and booking
- Clear availability for each set
- A smoother experience from start to finish
Same local service. Same care for the sets. Just a better way to rent.

It’s a small change that makes a big difference.
