Hire Giant Chess Set for weddings and receptions. 25kg. Live stock online. No deposit. Delivery across England and Wales.
A 32-piece outdoor giant chess set covering a 3m x 3m playing area. The oversized PVC pieces are weighted at the base to stay upright in outdoor conditions — wind doesn't topple them mid-game. Kings stand 30cm tall. The set weighs 25kg and packs into carry bags. No assembly required beyond laying out the board and placing the pieces.
One of the most consistently requested outdoor entertainment items at summer corporate events, garden parties, and weddings. A 3m chess board fills a garden corner, courtyard, or lawn area and draws in guests who would otherwise stand around. Pairs well with Giant Jenga for a complete outdoor games zone.
Lay out the board squares in a 3m x 3m grid. Place the 32 pieces on the marked starting positions. No tools required. The hollow-core pieces keep individual weight manageable — each piece can be moved by one person. Pack down into the supplied carry bags at collection. Return them in the same bags — one for white pieces, one for black.
One giant chess set serves 20 to 30 guests as spectators and active players simultaneously. For a summer party of 150 to 200 guests, two to three games stations (chess plus Jenga plus one other) distributes footfall across the outdoor area and prevents bottlenecks around a single activity.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
