Corporate Event Hire Romsey

Corporate event hire in Romsey is mostly SO51 work: the business parks south of the town, the Test Valley country-house venues and the function rooms in between. Romsey sits about 28 miles west of our Havant base, M27 most of the way, and the family firm has been run from there since 2002. Team building days, company sports days and staff parties along the Test all sit comfortably in a diary that also carries the school fairs and weddings the town is better known for.

What the format decides

The format usually decides the kit before anything else does. An induction or team-building day wants activities that run in rotations, with groups moving between stations on a timetable, and a company sports day wants one obvious race plus short rounds so nobody stands about. The anchors are the assault courses: the 150ft Army course needs six 13amp sockets, Boot Camp Challenge runs two lanes on four sockets and wants drive-on access with 110ft of clear flat space, and Big Red at 80ft takes three sockets with the van able to reach the pitch.

Romsey days with a function room attached can fill the indoor side from the plug-in range. Interactive darts, the racing simulator, arcade machines, air hockey, shuffleboard, table tennis and the dance machine all run on ordinary 13amp sockets, and the photo booth takes the same corner it would at a wedding. Several of these come staffed, which matters when the venue wants a single point of contact on the day.

Kit that always comes with our crew

Some of the list always arrives with one of our operators: the climbing wall, archery and laser clays, human table football, the Multi Sports Arena, pedal go-karts, the Sweeper and Dash N Grab. The wall stands ten metres tall and needs clear vehicle access to go up, so it stays an outdoor piece even when the rest of the day has moved inside. The rodeo bull needs a flat 20ft by 20ft area with roughly 10ft of overhead clearance, which most hotel function rooms manage once the furniture is shifted.

The climbing wall, rodeo and Sweeper are among the mechanical items covered by ADIPS inspections, and the inflatables are PIPA-tagged with the annual inspection done in-house by our RPII-qualified inspector. Public liability runs to £10 million with licensed-premises cover, and the risk assessments and method statements are written up for the procurement file, which the business parks south of Romsey occasionally ask for before a purchase order is raised. Every crew member is enhanced-DBS registered and first-aid trained, and nothing on the lorry is sub-hired from another firm.

The run from Havant and the local range

Romsey is about 28 miles west of Havant, an easy motorway run, so a morning set-up here is routine and the crew that quoted the job is the crew that builds it. The Romsey event hire hub covers the wider diary, the assault course hire Romsey and rodeo bull hire Romsey pages go deeper on those two, and the parent for this page is corporate team building. HR teams and office managers planning a December do can start from the Christmas party entertainment Romsey page instead.

An enquiry with the date, the venue or postcode, delegate numbers, the format and rough timings is enough for us to start pricing. Add the indoor and outdoor measurements, the surface, the access route and where the sockets sit, plus any deadline procurement has set for the paperwork, and we'll come back with the quote and everything the venue will want to see.
