Summer Events

Summer is one of the busiest times of year for events across Ireland, with schools, councils, businesses and community groups all making the most of the longer days and outdoor venues. Our Summer Events section is packed with ideas, inspiration and planning advice for organisers preparing festivals, sports days, family fun days and seasonal celebrations throughout the summer months.

Here you’ll find articles covering everything from school reward events and community festivals to tourism events, corporate family fun days and outdoor celebrations. We explore how bouncy castles, inflatable games, funfair rides and summer catering stalls can be combined to create lively, engaging event spaces for all age groups.

Popular summer attractions include the Toxic Bootcamp Assault Course, Minions Inflatable Slide, Helter Skelter Slide, Holey Moley, Rodeo Bull and a wide range of themed inflatables and competitive games that help keep crowds entertained throughout the day.

This section also includes practical planning advice for outdoor summer events, including weather preparation, indoor backup ideas, site layouts, crowd flow and choosing attractions that work well for schools, parks, sports grounds, town centres and festival venues. Irish summer weather can be unpredictable, so many of our articles focus on creating flexible events that can adapt to changing conditions without losing momentum.

We regularly share examples and inspiration from summer events taking place across Belfast, Derry, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kerry and many more locations throughout Ireland.
