Christmas Entertainment Barnet

Barnet December bookings are corporate parties, community fundraisers and school events across the EN and N postcodes, and the run up from Havant, A3 and round the M25, is about 85 miles. London work is a normal part of the diary rather than a stretch, and the staffed pieces still arrive with our own operators rather than a local hand-off.

Christmas bookings in Barnet run from staff dos to family parties, and the list above covers both ends. The rodeo reindeer and the Christmas pudding ride are the queue-pullers at a Barnet do, the Christmas photo booth and magic selfie mirror take the corner, and Whack an Elf, the Great Elf Race and the dance machine fill the gaps in between.

This work has run from our own commercial unit in Havant since 2002, with a fleet we own outright and no sub-contracting. Every item that needs a plug is PAT-tested, the rodeo machines carry ADIPS certification, our staff are enhanced-DBS registered, and the £10 million public liability certificate plus the additional licensed-premises cover can go out with the Barnet quote.

If the Barnet party is one part of a bigger plan, the Barnet event hire page lists the lot: the bouncy castles for the summer fair, the assault courses for the older children, the rodeo bull that takes the reindeer attachment on the same machine, and the photo booths for the wedding season.

Book the Barnet date as early as you can, especially the Saturday nights either side of the office-party fortnight, because several of these pieces are staffed and the operators book out before the kit does. Tell us the venue, the evening's timings and the numbers expected, and we will put the Barnet package together.

Christmas party entertainment in Barnet - common questions

How far ahead should we book Christmas entertainment in Barnet?

December is the busiest month of the Barnet diary, and the first two weekends go first. Six to eight weeks ahead is comfortable for most items, and earlier is better for a Saturday night in mid-December with the rodeo reindeer or the grotto, because the staffed pieces are limited by people as much as kit.

Can you supply several attractions for one Barnet Christmas party?

That is most of our December work in Barnet: a rodeo or the snowboard simulator as the headline, the Christmas photo booth in the corner, and two or three electronic games filling the gaps. Multi-item bookings usually work out cheaper per item than hiring separately, and everything comes on one delivery.

Our Barnet venue is a hotel or pub with a licence. Is that a problem?

No. We carry additional licensed-premises insurance on top of the £10 million public liability policy, which is what licensed Barnet venues want to see before anyone sets up, and the certificates go out with the quote. Tell us the venue at enquiry stage and we will send the paperwork their way.

How much space and power does Christmas entertainment need at a Barnet venue?

The rodeo reindeer and the snowboard simulator each want a clear area of roughly 20ft by 20ft and one standard 13amp socket, the photo booths fit a level corner of about 2.3m by 1.25m, and the table games and arcade machines slot in wherever there is a table and a socket. Send the Barnet room measurements and we will confirm what fits before the date is held.
