Pool tables, table tennis, air hockey, and garden games keep guests engaged during long events. Equipment hire for corporate days, garden parties, and festivals.
Gaming equipment keeps guests engaged across long events and gives people something to do between eating and drinking. It works particularly well at corporate days, garden parties, and festivals where the event runs for several hours and you want activity beyond a stage or dancefloor.
\n\nWe hire a 7ft tournament pool table, a table tennis table, and a 7ft pro air hockey table. These are full-size, proper versions of each game. A pool table becomes a focal point at a party or corporate away day; guests who would not approach a dancefloor will often join a queue for pool. For team-building events, table tennis and pool generate more sustained play over a day than any of the outdoor options.
\n\nOur outdoor range covers Giant Jenga, Giant Four in a Row, a giant chess set, and a boules set. These work on grass, gravel, or hard standing and need no setup beyond placing them on site. Giant chess suits outdoor events where guests want something to engage with at their own pace. Boules is well suited to garden parties and village fetes where guests are spread across a large outdoor space.
\n\nWe hire a limbo set for events where you want something more participatory. It works best at garden parties and informal outdoor events with a mixed age group.
\n\nFor indoor corporate events and team building, pool, table tennis, and air hockey give the most sustained engagement. For outdoor garden parties and fetes, the giant games are easier to distribute across a space and do not need a dedicated indoor area.
\nMost indoor items require a flat surface and some clearance space. Contact us before booking to confirm setup requirements for your venue.

Table tennis tables work in large open-plan spaces and are one of the most popular activity hire items for corporate away days and Christmas parties. Allow a clear zone of 5m x 2.5m around each table for play. Full-size tables measure 2.74m x 1.52m. Bats and balls are included in the hire.
Full-size pool tables need a 4.5m x 3.5m clear zone for cue clearance. American pool tables are larger than English pool tables — check which size fits the room before booking. Pool tables are heavy and require level flooring. For outdoor use, check the ground surface before delivery.
Giant Jenga, giant Connect 4, and giant chess are popular for outdoor summer events and garden parties where guests need activity between courses. These pack and transport easily, set up in minutes, and work across all age groups. For a corporate summer party, two to three activity items per 50 guests keeps engagement high without over-crowding.
Most gaming equipment arrives flat-packed or in sections and requires 15 to 30 minutes to assemble. Staff at the event need not be present for delivery — clear delivery instructions and a named contact on site are sufficient.
