Kensington Event Hire, Party Hire

Kensington is around 75 miles from our unit in Havant, up the A3 and round the M25. We're into the W and SW postcodes through the season for corporate events and office parties, school fairs, charity fundraisers and the high-end private events the borough is full of. Quite a lot of that work is indoors or in a function room, so the kit that travels up tends to be the compact electronic games and the photo booths as much as the inflatables.

One recent London job gives a fair idea of the shape. A company induction for over 500 delegates ran the interactive darts, air hockey, shuffleboard, table tennis, crazy golf, the dance machine and the magic mirror side by side, laid out so people could drift between them, which is how most staff and office events work best. The corporate events page covers that side of the range in more detail, and the borough's own version sits at corporate event hire in Kensington. University halls and college common rooms in the area draw on the same range, and the student event hire Kensington page sets out what fits.

If it's a garden party, a reception or something in a church or community hall, the garden games hire in Kensington page has the giant games and both golf courses with the space each one needs. A lot of Kensington venues are paving, courtyards and walled gardens, and the page matches the range to hard standing so the games still work on a terrace or in a courtyard.

Central London venues want the practical details settled before the date. Under our terms the pitch has to be within 50 metres of the van, down a route at least 36 inches wide, and each inflatable needs its own 13A socket within 20 metres. The hirer sorts the van's parking, and in a borough like Kensington and Chelsea that usually means resident parking or a loading bay, so tell us the access situation when you book and we'll plan the unloading around it. If the nearest socket is a long way off we can bring a generator.

Venue managers, event-licensing teams and corporate procurement in this part of London tend to want the paperwork before anything else. On that front we're set up for the checks those teams run. The insurance is £10 million public liability with the extra cover that licensed venues need, the inflatables carry PIPA tags that anyone can verify against the national register, the electrical kit is PAT tested each year, and the risk assessment and method statement go out with every booking. The people who deliver and run the kit work for us directly. They've passed the RPII operator and supervisor exams, hold first-aid certificates and enhanced DBS checks, and outdoor inflatables carry an anemometer with a written rule that shuts the unit down at 24mph.

The London page covers the rest of the city, and Wandsworth is the next borough along the river.
