Christmas Entertainment Richmond upon Thames

Richmond upon Thames runs its December dos through the TW and KT postcodes: office parties in the function rooms around the borough, family parties along the river, school celebrations in Richmond and across Twickenham, and the community halls in between. We're about 70 miles from the workshop, A3 and round the M25, and the borough is a proper part of the diary - the Twickenham school and corporate jobs through the summer are what the December bookings grow from.

For an evening do in the borough, the rodeo bull is the Christmas party piece we're asked for most, and in December it wears the rodeo reindeer or the Christmas pudding attachment on the same machine. The Christmas photo booth and magic selfie mirror take the corner, the racing simulator, retro arcade machines and dance machine cover the middle of the room, and tighter venues run Whack an Elf and the Christmas mega wire instead. School fairs take Santa's grotto and the inflatable snow globe.

The borough's bookings through the year give a fair picture of what a December one looks like: the school reward day and the team-building day we ran in Twickenham in July, both on big grounds with the assault course and the sweeper out, move indoors and shrink into the electronic range when the cold sets in. Richmond upon Thames College sits on the same patch for the student side, and its calendar turns to Christmas dinners and February balls once the term gets going.

The trust bits, for the bookers who check: the firm has been Joanne and David Morris's since 2002 out of Havant, the fleet is owned outright with no sub-hired kit, and the operators who stay with the staffed pieces are our own, enhanced-DBS registered and first-aid trained. Rodeo machines run ADIPS certified, anything with a plug is PAT tested annually, and borough bookings get the £10 million public liability certificate with its licensed-premises addition in the quote, risk assessments and method statements on request.

The Richmond upon Thames event hire page holds the full range, with corporate event hire in Richmond upon Thames, student event hire in Richmond upon Thames and garden games hire in Richmond upon Thames covering the rest of the year's diary.

December Saturdays in the borough go first, and the staffed pieces are limited by the operators before they're limited by the kit, so once the Richmond venue, the evening's timings and the expected numbers are known, send them over and the package and paperwork come back together.
