Christmas Entertainment Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire Christmas work takes in college and university balls, country-house parties and the corporate dos across the OX postcodes. The county is the far end of the hire range but a normal part of the December diary, and the staffed pieces still travel with our own operators. The inspection work takes us further than this most months.

At a Oxfordshire ball or a big staff do the spread usually runs to three or four pieces: a rodeo reindeer or the snowboard simulator as the headline, the magic selfie mirror or Christmas photo booth against the wall, and electronic fillers such as the racing simulator and the retro arcade machines for the queues in between. Smaller Oxfordshire rooms lean on the table games, and Whack an Elf plus the Christmas mega wire do that job without eating floor space.

The Christmas range going to Oxfordshire is ours outright and the business has been based at a commercial unit in Havant since 2002, so we never sub-hire kit or crews. The rodeo attachments are ADIPS certified, the electronics are PAT-tested, every member of staff is enhanced-DBS registered, and the £10 million public liability certificate, risk assessment and method statement can go out with the Oxfordshire quote.

If the Oxfordshire party is one part of a bigger plan, the Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire package together.

The rodeo bull was brilliant and your staff member Dave was fantastic, the best staff party yet. I will certainly be recommending you.

Christmas party entertainment in Oxfordshire - common questions

How far ahead should we book Christmas entertainment in Oxfordshire?

December is the busiest month of the Oxfordshire diary, and the first two weekends go first. Six to eight weeks ahead suits most Oxfordshire items, and earlier still for a mid-December Saturday 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 Oxfordshire Christmas party?

That is most of our December work in Oxfordshire: 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 Oxfordshire bookings cost less per piece, and everything comes up the A34 in one go.

Our Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire venues want to see before anyone sets up, and the certificates go out with the quote. Send the Oxfordshire venue over and the certificates follow ahead of the do.

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

Space at the Oxfordshire venue breaks down as: 20ft by 20ft clear with a 13amp socket for the reindeer or snowboard simulator, a level corner of roughly 2.3m by 1.25m for the photo booths, and any table plus a socket for the table and arcade games. Send the Oxfordshire room measurements and we will confirm what fits before the date is held.
