School fetes, summer fairs and community events are some of the highlights of the year – but if you're involved in organising one, you'll know just how much planning goes on behind the scenes.
One of the biggest challenges is finding entertainment that appeals to lots of children, keeps them occupied and helps create that brilliant fun-day atmosphere. That's exactly where inflatables come in.
At Beyond Bounce, we provide bouncy castles, inflatable games, slides and other party equipment for events across Kent and surrounding areas.
Why Inflatables Work So Well at School Fetes
The great thing about inflatables is that children immediately know what to do when they see them!
There's no complicated explanation needed and they can provide entertainment throughout the event rather than being limited to one particular time slot.
Depending on the age range attending, you could choose from:
For events attracting families with children of different ages, combining two or more attractions can work particularly well.
Create an Inflatable Zone
Rather than having attractions dotted around the event, why not create a dedicated inflatable zone?
A combination of a bouncy castle, slide and inflatable game can create a fantastic focal point for your fete or fun day.
It also makes it easier for families to find the children's entertainment and can help organisers manage the flow of people around the event.
Don't Forget the Older Children
Traditional bouncy castles are always popular with younger children, but school events often need something for older children too.
Competitive attractions and inflatable games can be a great solution.
Football challenges, assault courses and interactive games give children something they can enjoy with their friends – and you'll probably find a few parents wanting to have a go too!
Planning Your School Event
Before booking your inflatables, it's useful to have a few details ready:
How much space do you have?
Measure the area available rather than estimating it.
What age groups will be attending?
This can help determine which inflatables will work best.
How many people are you expecting?
A small primary school fete will have very different requirements from a large community event.
Is electricity available?
Let us know about your venue and setup when enquiring so we can help you work out what you'll need.
Book Early for Summer Events
Summer weekends are naturally some of the busiest dates of the year for bouncy castle and inflatable hire.
If your school fete or community event has already been given a date, it's worth arranging your entertainment as early as possible. Booking ahead gives you a much better choice of equipment and means there's one less thing to organise as the big day approaches.
