Council Hire

Council events play a major role in bringing communities together throughout the year, from town festivals and seasonal celebrations to family fun days and large public gatherings. Our Council Hire section focuses on entertainment ideas, planning advice and event inspiration for local authorities and community organisers across Ireland.

Within this section, you’ll find articles covering funfair rides, inflatable attractions, bouncy castles, competitive games and event catering suitable for council-run festivals, summer schemes, tourism events and community celebrations. We also explore how different attractions work in public spaces such as parks, town centres, sports grounds and waterfront locations.

Popular attractions for council events include the Toxic Bootcamp Assault Course, Minions Inflatable Slide, Helter Skelter Slide, Rodeo Bull, Kentucky Derby Racer and a wide range of family-friendly rides and inflatables that help create busy, visually engaging event spaces.

This section also includes practical guidance on crowd flow, weather planning, event safety, power requirements and organising attractions for large public audiences. We regularly share examples from real council events across Belfast, Derry, Co Down, Co Antrim, Dublin, Cork and many more areas throughout Ireland.

Whether you are planning a summer festival, Halloween event, Christmas light switch-on or local family fun day, our Council Hire section provides ideas and inspiration to help create safe, engaging and professionally organised public events.
