Student Event Hire Woking
Student event hire in Woking centres on Woking College for us, the sixth-form college in the town, whose enrichment and events team books exactly this kind of kit. Their year runs a welcome day in the first weeks of term, a Christmas do and a leavers day at the end of the summer term. We're up the A3 from Havant most weekends anyway, covering the schools and community events across GU21 to GU24.
The college year in Woking
Woking College runs the standard sixth-form calendar: a freshers-style welcome day in the first weeks of term, a Christmas do, fundraising and reward days through the spring, and the leavers day once the exams finish. For welcome and induction events the kit that works is kit that turns a group round in a minute or two, because the new intake filters through in groups across the day. The high striker, the giant buzz wire and the dance machine are the usual picks, and a rodeo bull gives the day something to gather round if the hall has the ceiling height for it.
Leavers afternoons want louder kit. The last man standing sweeper, the rodeo bull, the assault courses and the bungee run have filled sixth-form leavers days for us across the region, and a photo booth comes staffed and prints on the night, which is what a leavers or graduation event wants once everyone is dressed up. The review below is a welcome event of exactly that shape, with the rodeo bull on its second booking and the high striker alongside it.
Our Woking work so far has been the school and community side: a school sports day on a Woking playing field in June 2026 had the camouflage obstacle course up, and the end-of-term pattern repeats through the summer term. The college and university diary across Surrey takes the same fleet, so a Woking booking gets the same kit and crew as anything nearer home.
Rooms, sockets and lawns
Most college events here go into a hall, a common room or a gym, all of which run on standard 13amp sockets, and the electronic games are indoor plug-in kit. The rodeo bull needs around 20ft by 20ft and a ceiling height check before it goes inside. When the leavers afternoon moves out onto the field, the outdoor inflatables travel with an anemometer and the 24mph wind cutoff, and any marquee needs flat grass for the anchor pins.
College bookings usually come through an enrichment team, an events office or the procurement route, and multi-day applicants-week bookings are routine for us. The insurance certificate, the risk assessment and the method statement can go in the file with the quote, and because sixth forms include under-18s, the enhanced-DBS register every crew member sits on is often the first thing the office asks about.
We've run Monster Event Hire from our commercial unit in Havant since 2002, and Woking is about 45 miles north, A3 most of the way. Everything on the lorry is owned outright with no sub-contracting, the electricals carry current PAT certificates, and our in-house RPII inspector puts every PIPA-tagged inflatable through its annual check. The office answers Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, and Sundays from 10 to 4.
The Woking event hire hub has the full range, with local pages for rodeo bull hire Woking, photo booth hire Woking and garden games hire Woking. Daytime student events sit on the students and freshers page and the ball, leavers and graduation side sits on college and university event hire. The sweeper and the dance machine pages have the two we send out most often.
When you enquire, give us the college, the event, the date, the room or field, the timings and the expected numbers, and say whether students come through in waves across the day. Where the sockets are, how the van gets in and any procurement deadline all help us price it properly the first time.
We hired the rodeo bull for the 2nd time and the high striker for our students welcome event and it was great! It became quite a challenge amongst the students to see who was best.
