Giant Darts Hire

Giant darts hire - sometimes called inflatable darts or Velcro darts - is an oversized dartboard with large Velcro-tipped darts that stick where they land. The board is bigger than a standard pub board, which means younger children and anyone who isn't a regular player can still hit something, and the Velcro darts don't have sharp points so there's no risk of injury from a stray throw.

It's a side-stall activity rather than a main attraction, so it works well alongside other games and small stalls rather than as the centrepiece of an event. You'll see it at school fairs, village fetes, corporate family days and birthday parties where you want something that keeps people occupied for a few minutes without building a long queue.

Where it suits

• School fairs, sports days and youth group events
• Village fetes, summer fairs and community days
• Corporate family fun days and away days
• Birthday parties and indoor celebrations
• Charity fundraisers and scout and guide events

How we hire it out

We own all of our kit, so the person setting up on the day is one of our staff, not a sub-contractor. Everyone on the road is first-aid trained and enhanced-DBS registered, which matters if you're booking around children, schools or vulnerable adults. We've run Monster Event Hire from our unit in Havant since 2002, covering Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and into London. The policy carries £10 million public liability, and the certificate is on request.

Combine it with other stalls and carnival games if you're putting together a spread of smaller activities around the edge of an event.
