School Fair and PTA Inflatable Hire in Henlow
Henlow, the village between Shefford and Arlesey known for its RAF station, has a busy calendar of school fairs, summer fetes and sports days. This page answers the practical questions that parent teacher associations and school staff need to settle, all in one place. We supply inflatables, games and trained staff for school events in Henlow and the surrounding villages, delivered, set up and collected.
Questions from Henlow schools and PTAs
Which inflatables work best for a school summer fair?
Choose items that move children through quickly and keep queues short. A long fun run is ideal, because two children race side by side and each turn takes moments. The Colourful Fun Run is bright and easy to spot from the other side of the field. Add a bouncy castle for the younger year groups and one game for the oldest pupils, and the whole school is covered. Our sports inflatables suit fairs with a sporty theme.
Can you help with a sports day?
Yes. Our Sports package brings together equipment for races and team activities. Inflatable courses also make a cheerful end to the day once the formal races are over. Children can take turns on the course while parents pack up the picnic blankets.
Do you provide staff to run the equipment?
We can supply trained staff to supervise inflatables, manage queues and handle safety during the event. You could book staff for the busiest items and use volunteers for the simpler stalls. It means teachers and parents are free to run the rest of the fair.
What paperwork will the school need?
Proof of insurance and inspection is easy to provide. Our inflatables are inspected every year to the British standard BS EN 14960, our electrical equipment is PAT tested, and we hold public liability insurance of up to £5 million. We are happy to send copies in advance for your event planning paperwork.
How do power, set-up and timing work on a school field?
Each inflatable needs a 240V socket within 50 metres. School fields often have power near the hall, but for the far end of the field we can bring a generator. We set up before the gates open and return after the event, so nobody has to stay behind to pack away. Larger bookings may need a deposit of up to 25%.
Henlow PTA picks for school event days
Fun runs, sports inflatables and classic team games give a school field plenty to do.
Fete games for the classic stalls
Traditional fete games are perfect for fundraising stalls run by parent volunteers. Ball In The Bucket, Splat The Rat and the hoopla are simple to run, need no power and suit a small charge per go.
Schools and clubs nearby
We work with schools and community groups in the villages around Henlow. Sports clubs to the east can read about fundraising days in Arlesey, and nurseries in the market town to the west have their own page on preschool parties in Shefford.
A good school fair brings the whole community onto one field for an afternoon, and the money raised goes straight back to the children. Check availability for your event date online, or call 01525 455765 to talk through a plan for your Henlow school.
