Islington Event Hire, Party Hire

Islington is about 75 miles from the workshop, A3 round the M25 or up the A40. We're into N1 and the surrounding postcodes through the season for school fairs and leavers' days, community events, charity fundraisers and corporate events across the borough.

A lot of our London work is school and community. A sixth-form leavers' day in north London ran the laser clay pigeon shoot, the rodeo bull, last man standing and a run of inflatables, and a north London activity day later in the season had the archery and axe throwing range, a laser tag arena and an assault course out together. Reward days and leavers' events are the backbone of the summer term in this part of London, and the school event hire page is a good place to start planning one of your own.

If the event is in a hall, a courtyard or a tight garden, the garden games hire in Islington page has the giant games and the flat-mat golf course that behave indoors, with the measurements set out so the space check is done before the date.

Inner-London venues often have the trickiest access: narrow gates, hard-standing-only sites, complicated parking, and a road outside that's busy on a Saturday. We assess every site on arrival and won't proceed if it isn't safe, even if it costs us the job. Before the day, the ground rules are the same as everywhere: the van stops within 50 metres of the pitch, the access route is at least 36 inches wide, and each inflatable needs a 13A socket within 20 metres. The hirer sorts the van's parking, and round Islington that can mean a resident bay or a controlled zone, so tell us the access situation when you book and we'll plan the unloading around it. If the nearest power is a long way from the pitch, we bring a generator.

The compliance side is settled. The insurance is £10 million public liability with licensed-premises cover on top, the inflatables are PIPA tagged with numbers you can check on the national database, the electrics carry current PAT certificates, and every booking goes out with its risk assessment and method statement. Our own crew handles delivery and running, holds the RPII operator and supervisor exams, is first-aid trained and enhanced-DBS checked, and outdoor inflatables come with an anemometer and a written procedure that ends the session at 24mph.

Barnet and Enfield are the boroughs to the north and have their own pages, and the London page covers the rest of the city.
