Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for event entertainment. Company parties, school fairs, light switch-on events and family celebrations are all planned for the same December dates, so planning early makes it far easier to get the attractions you want. This guide covers the festive hire we supply in Leicester, Coventry, Northampton and throughout the Midlands, and how to combine it into one easy booking.
What Can You Hire for a Christmas Party?
Our Christmas Parties range brings together catering, inflatables and traditional funfair entertainment in one place. Popular choices include candy floss, popcorn and slush machines, hot chestnut catering, and hot food such as cheeseburgers, jumbo hot dogs, turkey, pork and bacon rolls. For entertainment, customers regularly add bouncy castles, inflatable slides, sumo suits, hook a duck, cork shooting galleries and mini golf.
Because everything comes from one supplier, you can book the food, the games and the inflatables together and agree one set of delivery and collection times, instead of coordinating several companies during the busiest month of the year.
How Can You Bring Snow to a Christmas Event?
It doesn’t need to be cold for snow to start falling. Our Event Snow Machine Hire produces artificial falling snow as a timed special effect, so you can start the snowfall as guests arrive, create a snow-filled photo opportunity or finish a school performance with flakes falling over the stage.
A single machine suits entrances, photographs and smaller areas, while several machines can cover wider event spaces. Indoor use is subject to venue approval and the suitability of the area, and suitable outdoor locations can use artificial snow for seasonal displays.
Which Attractions Work Best Indoors in Winter?
Winter weather makes indoor venues a popular choice, from village halls and school halls to sports halls and hotel function rooms. Our Indoor Bouncy Castle Hire range lists the inflatables that suit indoor use, and the team can recommend options once you send us the room measurements and ceiling height.
For older guests and staff parties, a Disco Dome Hire brings music-led fun to a hall, while Sumo Suit Hire and traditional stalls from Funfair Side Stall Games Hire keep groups entertained between food and speeches.
How Do You Keep Guests Warm at an Outdoor Christmas Event?
Hot drinks make a real difference at Christmas markets, light switch-ons and outdoor fairs. Our Mobile Hot Drinks Stand has a professional barista serving tea, coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, mocha and hot chocolate, with optional muffins, pastries, cakes and savoury snacks.
For bigger crowds, add hot food from Mobile Catering Hire, and finish the day with sweet treats from Candy Floss Machine Hire or Popcorn Machine Hire. If the site has no power close by, we can also supply Power Generator Hire.
Who Do We Supply at Christmas?
Our team regularly works with corporate Christmas parties, staff appreciation events, Christmas light switch-on events, winter festivals, school Christmas fairs, shopping centre promotions and private festive celebrations.
For light switch-ons and evening events, glow toys from Toy Light Up’s & Wholesale are popular with families, and they can be sold on the night to help a fundraising event raise a little extra.
When Should You Book Christmas Party Hire?
December weekends and the last working days before Christmas are the first dates to go, so the earlier you enquire, the more choice you will have. When you get in touch, tell us your date, venue address, start and finish times, the approximate number of guests and whether the event is indoors or outdoors. That lets us confirm availability and suggest a package that fits your space.
We deliver throughout Leicester and Leicestershire, and our team regularly supplies festive events in Coventry, Rugby, Nuneaton and Hinckley. Further east, we also cover Northampton and the surrounding towns, while larger attractions can travel further for suitable events.
