Garden Games Hire in Oxford

We cover Oxford for university summer events, end-of-term parties and school and family fairs, A34 the whole way. Garden games hire in Oxford suits those days because most of the range runs itself: giant lawn games set out on a lawn or a flat field, putting the guests run themselves, and one or two staffed games when you want a fixed feature.

The games and how they run

Our split is between games that need nobody and games that need somebody. The garden game package needs neither power nor an operator once we've delivered it: giant Connect 4, a snakes and ladders mat and the Jenga tower, laid out on grass or a flat indoor floor for children and adults to use as they like. The original crazy golf is the same kind of hire, nine flat putting mats about 8ft by 2ft each with putters and balls included and the windmill to get past, though it wants a reasonably level surface and standing room between holes. Crazy Golf 2 is the other course, with raised artificial-turf holes and painted hazards, built by JB Inflatables.

Games where our staff stay

Laser tag runs rounds of up to ten players with one of our team running every game, and the giant darts board is an inflatable target that guests throw Velcro darts at in a side-stall style. Either one slots in beside the casual games when you want a feature with somebody clearly in charge.

Our inspection work in Oxford

Alongside hire, we inspect other organisations' inflatables under the PIPA scheme, and in April 2026 one of those rounds finished at a youth group in Oxford after earlier calls in Hampshire and Surrey. The kit we hire out goes through the same kind of annual inspection before it reaches you.

The crew, the kit and the office are all Havant-based, with nothing sub-contracted out, and we hold £10 million public liability cover with risk assessments available for a venue or college.

The Oxford event hire hub is the overview of what we cover in the city. The full garden games range has the complete list, and the Winchester garden games page covers the same range for a nearer city. Send the date, the venue, its surface and access, the space you have and rough numbers, and we'll say straight whether the games fit and quote it.

They were all absolutely fantastic and did a really great job of overseeing the activities and encouraging people to join in whenever there were spaces - which I'm pleased to say were not very often.
