Events We Cater For
Entertainment for Events of All Shapes and Sizes
Every great event needs something that gets people smiling, talking and enjoying themselves.
Whether you're planning a children's birthday party for a small group of friends, a school fun day for hundreds of families, a wedding celebration, corporate event, charity fundraiser or major community occasion, choosing the right entertainment can make an enormous difference.
At Megabounce, we've been helping people create memorable events since 2003, providing a huge selection of inflatables, games, attractions and event equipment across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas.
And despite the name, we're certainly not just about bouncy castles!
Our extensive hire range means we can provide entertainment for children, teenagers, adults and mixed-age events, with options including bouncy castles, Bounce & Slides, assault courses, giant slides, soft play, rodeo bulls, gladiator games, football inflatables, garden games, disco domes, crazy golf, arcade machines, marquees, event equipment and much more.
So what type of event are you planning?
Let's look at some of the occasions Megabounce can help make extra special.
Children's Birthday Parties
Birthday parties are where many people's first memories of bouncy castles begin.
There's something about arriving at a party and seeing a huge colourful inflatable waiting that immediately gets children excited.
Megabounce has an extensive selection of bouncy castles and inflatable entertainment suitable for different ages, spaces and occasions.
Depending on the age of the children and the venue, you could choose a traditional bouncy castle, a Bounce & Slide combination, soft play for younger children or something more adventurous for older children.
The great thing about inflatable entertainment is that children don't need much encouragement to get involved.
No complicated instructions.
No waiting for everyone to understand the rules.
Shoes off - and the fun begins!
For larger birthday celebrations, several different activities can be combined to create your own mini fun day.
Toddler & Preschool Parties
Younger children have very different entertainment requirements from older children.
A huge assault course might look fantastic, but it isn't necessarily what you want for a room full of toddlers!
That's why Megabounce offers toddler and soft play equipment, allowing parents to create a fun environment more suited to little ones.
Soft play can work particularly well for:
- First birthdays
- Second and third birthdays
- Preschool celebrations
- Nursery events
- Toddler groups
- Family parties
Where space allows, you could combine soft play with an appropriate inflatable to provide several different activities.
This is also particularly useful at mixed-age family events where younger brothers and sisters need something of their own to enjoy.
School Fun Days & Fetes
School events are an ideal opportunity to go bigger.
Rather than entertaining 15 or 20 children, you could have hundreds of pupils, parents and family members attending throughout the day.
This is where having a wide choice of attractions becomes particularly valuable.
A school fun day could potentially include:
Bouncy Castles for younger pupils.
Assault Courses for racing friends and classmates.
Giant Slides for a real centrepiece attraction.
Soft Play for younger siblings.
Football Inflatables for sporting challenges.
Garden Games for family participation.
Rodeo Bulls and Competitive Games for older children and adults.
Different attractions help spread visitors throughout the event and give people more reasons to stay.
Schools and PTAs can also potentially incorporate entertainment into fundraising activities, helping raise valuable money for school resources and projects.
PTA Fundraising Events
PTAs do fantastic work raising additional money for schools, but successful fundraising often depends on getting families through the gates in the first place.
That's where entertainment can help.
Instead of simply asking families to donate, create an event they genuinely want to attend.
Depending on how the school wishes to organise things, entertainment could form part of an entry ticket, wristband system or individual activity charge.
Combine attractions with raffles, tombolas, food, drinks and stalls and you've got the foundations of a complete fundraising event.
And don't forget the teachers!
A sponsored teacher challenge involving a rodeo bull or inflatable competition could be one of the funniest - and potentially most profitable - moments of the day.
Corporate Events & Company Family Days
Inflatables aren't just for children.
Corporate entertainment can be a brilliant way of encouraging employees to interact in a relaxed environment.
Company family days are particularly popular because businesses can invite employees to bring partners and children, creating an event everyone can enjoy together.
For adults, competitive attractions can work brilliantly.
Imagine:
Sales versus Accounts.
Management versus Employees.
One branch versus another.
An inflatable assault course, rodeo bull, gladiator game or football challenge can quickly bring out everyone's competitive side.
Meanwhile, children's inflatables, soft play and family games can ensure younger guests have plenty to do.
It's a completely different experience from another formal company dinner - and potentially a lot more memorable!
Team-Building Events
Team building doesn't have to mean sitting in a conference room solving puzzles.
Sometimes getting people outside, laughing and competing together can be far more effective.
Create teams from different departments and let them compete across several activities.
You could award points for each challenge and create an overall leaderboard.
Activities might include inflatable races, football challenges, garden games and other competitive attractions.
Finish the day by announcing the winning team.
You could even provide a trophy - or something deliberately ridiculous for the losing team!
The important part is creating an environment where colleagues can relax and interact away from their normal working roles.
Weddings & Wedding Celebrations
Wedding entertainment has changed enormously over the years.
Couples increasingly want their wedding to reflect their personalities rather than following exactly the same format as everyone else.
And that's where alternative entertainment can be great fun.
Garden games can provide relaxed entertainment during photographs or between different parts of the day.
Inflatables can keep younger guests occupied.
And if the bride, groom and adult guests want to join in too, choosing appropriate entertainment can create some fantastic photographs and memories.
Megabounce also offers marquees and other event-related equipment, giving customers additional options when organising larger celebrations.
Whether you're planning a traditional wedding, festival-style reception or relaxed outdoor celebration, there are plenty of ways to add something different.
Charity Fundraisers
A successful charity event needs people to attend - and ideally stay for a while.
Entertainment can help turn a fundraiser into a complete family day out.
Rather than asking people to visit simply to donate, give them an enjoyable experience at the same time.
Combine attractions with:
- Sponsored challenges
- Raffles
- Auctions
- Food and drink
- Local business stalls
- Competitions
- Live entertainment
- Games
Large inflatables can also provide excellent visual attractions that help an event look exciting from the moment visitors arrive.
The more enjoyable the event, the more likely families are to stay, participate and support the cause.
Community Events & Village Fetes
Community events bring people together.
Village fetes, town celebrations, local festivals and community fun days can attract visitors across a huge range of ages.
That means variety is essential.
Children might head straight towards the bouncy castles and slides.
Teenagers may prefer something competitive.
Adults might enjoy garden games or watching friends attempt the rodeo bull.
Families with toddlers need something suitable for younger children.
With such a broad Megabounce hire range, organisers can select a mixture of attractions designed to appeal to different visitors.
For larger events, combining several pieces of equipment can help create a complete entertainment area.
Halloween Parties & Events
Halloween has become a major event in the UK calendar.
Schools, businesses, pubs, clubs, community groups and families increasingly organise Halloween celebrations throughout October.
An indoor hall can be transformed with decorations, pumpkins, cobwebs, spooky lighting and music.
Add entertainment and you've suddenly created a complete Halloween party.
Depending on the venue and audience, you could include inflatables, games, soft play and other activities.
Larger community Halloween events can potentially combine several attractions alongside food, competitions and fancy dress.
Just remember to book early - lots of Halloween events naturally take place around the same few dates!
Christmas Parties & Festive Events
Once Halloween is over, Christmas isn't far behind.
Christmas parties are another opportunity to add entertainment, particularly when children and families are attending.
Schools can use entertainment during Christmas fairs.
Businesses can incorporate children's attractions into company family parties.
Community organisations can create festive fun days.
And larger venues can combine entertainment with Christmas markets, food, stalls and visits from Father Christmas.
Indoor entertainment can be especially valuable during winter when outdoor conditions aren't suitable.
A cold December day certainly doesn't mean the fun has to stop.
Sports Clubs & Presentation Days
Football clubs, rugby clubs and other sporting organisations regularly hold presentation days, end-of-season celebrations and fundraising events.
Inflatable entertainment can fit naturally into these occasions.
Football inflatables are an obvious option, but you don't have to stick exclusively to the sport your club plays.
Bouncy castles, assault courses, slides, competitive games and other attractions can turn a presentation day into a complete family event.
This can be particularly useful for clubs wanting parents and siblings to attend rather than only players.
Holiday Parks & Visitor Attractions
Holiday parks and visitor venues need entertainment capable of keeping families engaged.
Inflatable attractions, games and other entertainment can be used for special events, school holidays and family activity days.
Larger venues may also want multiple attractions operating together, allowing visitors to move between different activities.
With options suitable for different age groups, Megabounce can help organisers build entertainment around the audience they're expecting.
Private Parties & Family Celebrations
Not every celebration fits neatly into one category.
Perhaps you're organising:
- An anniversary
- Family reunion
- Engagement party
- Christening celebration
- Milestone birthday
- Garden party
- Leaving party
- Large family gathering
Whatever the occasion, adding entertainment can help bring different generations together.
Children have something to occupy them.
Adults can relax.
And if you've chosen entertainment suitable for grown-ups too, everyone can get involved.
Sometimes the most memorable family events are the ones where nobody expected Dad or Grandad to end up joining in!
Large Public Events
For larger events, choosing the right combination of attractions becomes even more important.
If hundreds or thousands of visitors are expected, relying on one activity could create long queues.
Several attractions allow guests to spread around the event.
Organisers may want a combination of visually impressive large inflatables alongside smaller games and activities.
You should consider the age range attending, expected visitor numbers, available space, access and event duration when planning your entertainment.
The Megabounce range includes options suitable for everything from relatively small private parties to much larger events.
Indoor Events
British weather doesn't always cooperate with event plans.
Fortunately, many celebrations can move indoors when a suitable venue is available.
Village halls, community centres, school halls, sports venues and other indoor spaces can provide excellent party locations.
When hiring inflatables indoors, it's important to check:
Floor space
Ceiling height
Access
Power availability
Different inflatables have different dimensions, so always check that your chosen equipment is suitable for the venue.
Indoor hire can be particularly useful for autumn and winter birthdays, Halloween parties, Christmas events and school celebrations.
Outdoor Events
When the weather behaves, outdoor events provide fantastic opportunities.
Large open spaces can potentially accommodate bigger attractions and multiple entertainment areas.
School playing fields, sports grounds, company premises, event fields and large gardens can all potentially provide suitable locations depending on the equipment required.
For major events, organisers can create separate zones for inflatables, games, food and other activities.
It makes the whole occasion feel like a genuine event rather than simply a collection of attractions.
Much More Than Bouncy Castles
Although bouncy castles remain incredibly popular, Megabounce offers much more.
Depending on availability and suitability for your event, the extensive range includes categories such as:
Bouncy Castles
Bounce & Slides
Assault Courses & Fun Runs
Giant Slides
Disco Domes & Party Tents
Soft Play & Toddler Equipment
Rodeo Bulls
Gladiators & Competitive Inflatables
Football Inflatables
Sumo Suits
Garden Games
Crazy Golf
Arcade Machines
Foam Parties
Diddi Cars, Hopperz & Ride-On Equipment
Marquees
Event Equipment
Food, Drink & Bar Hire
Generators
Market Stall Hire
...and much more.
That extensive choice means customers can build an entertainment package around the event they're actually organising rather than trying to make one product fit every occasion.
Entertainment Across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire & Beyond
Megabounce operates from the Ross-on-Wye area and provides entertainment throughout a substantial surrounding region.
Our regular coverage includes locations across:
Herefordshire
Gloucestershire
Monmouthshire
The Forest of Dean
and surrounding areas.
This includes places such as Ross-on-Wye, Hereford, Ledbury, Leominster, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Newent, Coleford, Cinderford, Monmouth, Abergavenny, Chepstow and Malvern, amongst many others.
If you're unsure whether we cover your venue, simply get in touch and ask.
What Event Are You Planning?
No two events are exactly the same.
A toddler's birthday party needs something very different from a corporate family day.
A wedding isn't the same as a school fete.
And an event attracting hundreds of people requires different planning from a garden party.
That's why having such a large range of entertainment available can be so useful.
Tell Megabounce what you're organising, where it's being held, approximately how many people are attending and the ages you're catering for, and the team can help you explore suitable options.
Whether you need one bouncy castle or you're looking for entertainment for a much larger event, there are plenty of possibilities.
