F.A.Q.
Suitable Attractions
The large teenage rides incur a high operating cost, so they are suitable only for events at the largest
of schools. An ideal balance is a mixture of children's rides and inflatables along with a games unit
and perhaps a candy floss stall.
Quantity of Attractions
For an average junior or primary school, a couple of rides, perhaps an inflatable slide along with a
hook a duck stall and a candy floss unit are adequate. Usually to bring more than this means we
have extra staff and transport costs and rarely see an increase in business as the school population
is not large enough to support the additional rides.
Suitable days
During the summer months, weekend are our busiest time with June and July being extra busy, so if
possible avoid these days. Some of the most successful events we have attended have been during
the week and started just as the schoolday ends. This means that the children are already at the
school. To hold it on a weekend can sometimes mean that neither ourselves or any other operator
has the equipment available to attend.
Advanced Notice
We have in the past supplied attractions with less than 24 hours notice, but this means that we have
to bring whatever we have available at the last minute. Ideally you should be planning the event a
number of months in front and give us as much notice as possible, this allows us to bring the
attraction you want, rather than whatever is left over from other events
Hiring Attractions.
Occasionally school will hire attractions from us and allow their pupils free use of them. We still
supply operators and trained staff to look after the rides under these conditions so everyone is
perfectly safe, and still covered by our insurance's etc.
Donation
If you are not hiring the attractions, we are operating them and charging the children then after a
successful day we pay a donation to the school. This can be on a percentage basis or a flat fee
agreed beforehand.
