Fete Games Hire Milton Keynes & Aylesbury

Some of the best event games do not need complicated rules, long turns or a huge amount of space. Our Fete Games hire range is built around simple activities that people can understand quickly, have a go at, then immediately want another attempt at.

From traditional favourites such as Coconut Shy, Splat the Rat, sack racing and tug of war through to football targets, buzzwire games, bowling and inflatable challenges, there are options for school fetes, village events, charity fundraisers, corporate fun days, birthday parties and community events.

Traditional Fete Games That Still Work Brilliantly

There is a reason certain games keep appearing at fetes year after year. They are quick to play, easy to organise and give spectators almost as much entertainment as the person taking the turn.

Our traditional-style options include:

• Ball in the Bucket for a straightforward throwing challenge.
• Coconut Shy and Carnival Coconut Shy for classic fete-style target play.
• Splat the Rat, where timing matters considerably more than it first appears.
• Ring the Bull Hoopla for a simple hoop-throwing game.
• Ring a Dino and Ring a Unicorn for younger and themed events.
• Stocks for a traditional addition to school and community events.
• Sack Race and Tug of War Rope when you want everyone away from the sidelines and taking part.
• Limbo for another simple activity that works well within a mixed programme of games.

Run a Fete With Points, Prizes or Just Plenty of Attempts

Fete games are easy to adapt to the type of event you are running. At a school fair, you might give each player three attempts and award a small prize for reaching a target score. At a company event, games can contribute points towards a team competition. For a birthday or family event, they can simply remain open for guests to try whenever they like.

You can also create a dedicated competition area by putting several different games together. Throwing, kicking, timing and accuracy challenges mean the same person is unlikely to dominate every activity.

Football Games for Fetes and Sports Events

Football fits naturally into school fetes, club events and summer fun days, and we have several ways to include it without organising a full match.

Football Shoot Out lets players test their shooting, while Football Chipping Game changes the emphasis to controlled accuracy. Football Ball Pot provides another football activity, and our Football Darts games combine kicking with target scoring.

There are both 6ft and 16ft Football Darts options, along with a 16ft Dart Football game for events where you want a larger inflatable target.

More football equipment can be found in Football Inflatables, while Sports Inflatables includes games covering several different sports.

Can You Beat the Buzzer?

Not every fete game depends on throwing or kicking. Beat the Buzzer puts steady hands to the test as players guide the handle around the course while trying not to make contact.

It is particularly useful for fundraising stalls and corporate events because turns are short and the result is obvious. The buzzer tends to make sure everyone nearby knows when somebody has gone wrong.

Bring in Bigger Inflatable Games

A traditional fete can still include larger attractions. Inflatable games help create visual variety and give visitors something different to move onto after the smaller stalls.

Bowling Alley provides a single-lane bowling activity, with Twin Bowling Alley available when you want two lanes and a more competitive format.

Monkey Mayhem and Frisbee Pro Challenge add further target-based activities, while Nerf Shootout uses floating targets for a completely different style of game.

Our Large Pit can also be considered for suitable events requiring a larger adult inflatable attraction.

Build an Event Around Different Skills

One of the easiest ways to keep a fete interesting is to avoid choosing six versions of essentially the same game. Instead, mix activities that ask participants to do different things.

School Fetes, Fundraisers and Community Days

Fete games are particularly useful when an event needs lots of separate activities rather than one main attraction. Schools can assign individual games to different stalls, charities can use them for fundraising attempts, and community organisers can spread activities throughout the event site.

For bigger school or public events, combine the games with Bouncy Castles, Inflatable Slides or Fun Runs. Younger visitors can have their own area with Soft Play or Toddler Bouncy Castles.

A Good Fit for Corporate Fun Days Too

The same games can work very differently at a company event. Rather than individual prizes, create teams and give each department a scorecard. A round of bowling, football shooting, buzzwire, tug of war and target games can build into a simple competition without every activity needing specialist instructions.

For larger event setups, Event Extras, Tables & Chairs and Gazebo & Extras can help with the practical side of the day.

Choose a Ready-Made Fete Games Package

If you would rather start with a group of games instead of selecting everything individually, take a look at our Fete Game Package. It provides a straightforward starting point for school fairs, charity events and traditional fun days.

You can then add larger inflatables, football games or additional activities to suit the available space, number of visitors and age groups attending.
