From busy tourist towns to rural community spaces, our equipment is suitable for everything from school fun days and family festivals to council-led programmes and corporate events.

County Clare hosts everything from coastal gatherings and tourism events to school celebrations and local festivals. With venues ranging from seaside locations to inland towns and rural spaces, organisers often need entertainment that can adapt to different settings and audiences. Below are some helpful questions for planning event hire in Clare.

FAQs – Event Hire Equipment in Co Clare

Which attractions are best suited to outdoor festival settings?

Open-air events typically benefit from a mix of larger fairground rides and spacious inflatable attractions. These help create a strong visual presence while allowing multiple participants at once.

Do you provide options for younger children as well as older participants?

Yes, we offer a wide range of equipment suitable for all age groups, from smaller bouncy castles and play areas to more active games designed for teenagers and adults.

Can your services be used for tourism and seasonal events in Clare?

Our attractions are often used at tourism-focused events and seasonal celebrations, helping create a welcoming and engaging environment for visitors.

What should I consider when choosing equipment for my venue?

Key factors include available space, access for delivery, ground conditions and the expected number of attendees. We can advise on suitable options once we understand your venue and event plans.

Do you offer catering as part of your event hire service?

We provide a range of event food stalls that complement the entertainment, adding to the overall atmosphere and giving visitors a place to gather.

Are there attractions designed for continuous use throughout the day?

Yes, many of our inflatables and games are designed for high turnover, allowing participants to join in regularly without long delays.

How do you manage setup across different types of locations?

Our team plans each installation carefully, taking into account the layout and conditions of the site to ensure everything is positioned safely and efficiently.

Do you provide staff to oversee the equipment?

We can supply trained personnel to operate and supervise attractions, ensuring safe use and helping maintain a smooth flow of activity during the event.

What safety checks are carried out on your equipment?

All equipment is inspected and tested in line with ADIPS standards. We also provide full insurance and supporting documentation for every hire.

How early should bookings be made for events in Clare?

To secure your preferred attractions, it is advisable to book well in advance, especially during peak event seasons.

Event Hire in Co Clare: How Big Does the Idea Need to Be?

Not every successful event needs a Ferris Wheel. Equally, there are occasions when a couple of bouncy castles aren’t going to come close to filling the brief.

G Force Amusements provides event hire throughout Co Clare for organisers working at very different levels. We can supply individual attractions for local events, active equipment for schools and clubs, children’s entertainment for family days or a much broader combination of rides, games, catering and event services for major public programmes.

That flexibility means the equipment list can follow the ambition of the event rather than forcing every organiser towards the same standard package.

The Compact Co Clare Community Event

Start at the smaller end.

A community fundraiser, church event, club celebration or local family day may only need a handful of carefully chosen attractions. In that situation, variety can be more useful than sheer size.

A children’s bouncy castle could provide straightforward entertainment for younger visitors while Foot Pool gives older children and adults something completely different to try.

Add Candy Floss or freshly prepared Dinky Donuts and a relatively simple collection can already provide several different reasons for families to stay at the venue.

The Children’s Family Fun Day

Move up a level and the equipment can become much more varied.

Our Paw Patrol Play Zone gives younger children their own activity space incorporating bouncing, a ball pool, slide and interactive features.

Older children can move towards themed bouncy castles, while the Fire Department Fun House introduces a different kind of attraction where children move through the equipment rather than remaining on one bouncing bed.

The Safari Train Ride can then provide something families can enjoy at a gentler pace, travelling around its own configurable track.

The result is a children’s event with several distinct experiences instead of several inflatables doing essentially the same job.

The School Activity Day

Change the audience and the equipment list can change with it.

For older pupils, activity and competition can take priority over conventional children’s attractions. The Warrior Wall challenges participants to tackle different climbing routes, while the 3 in 1 Sports Inflatable combines basketball, baseball and Velcro darts.

The Wall 2 Wall Inflatable Football Arena can create an approximately 50ft x 20ft enclosed playing area for games of up to five-a-side.

Instead of everyone queuing for one activity, groups can rotate between different challenges throughout the school event.

The Really Competitive School Event

Of course, some pupils may consider basketball and football far too civilised.

The Xtreme Demolition Zone places four competitors on separate inflatable podiums around a suspended demolition ball. The objective is essentially to remain standing while ensuring everybody else has a considerably harder time doing so.

Holey Moley Human Whack A Mole provides a completely different competition, with participants attempting to collect balls while another player operates the inflatable hammer from the centre.

Both can also work well for youth groups, sports clubs and leavers events where participants are old enough for more challenging activities.

The Clare Event That Needs a Serious Obstacle Course

Then there is Toxic Bootcamp.

In its complete configuration, the Toxic Bootcamp Challenge Assault Course can extend to approximately 150ft. Two participants race alongside one another through tunnels, tangled mangles, Bish Bash obstacles, climbing sections, a demolition ball and dual freefall slides.

It can become the central challenge at a school activity day, company event, sports programme or large family fun day.

The attraction is modular, so organisers don’t necessarily need a site capable of taking the complete course. Individual sections can be used to create a shorter configuration where appropriate.

The Clare Festival Where Height Matters

A festival occupying a substantial outdoor site introduces a different consideration: visibility.

The Minions Mega Slide has an approximately 18ft platform and measures around 25ft x 12ft, providing considerably more height than a standard children’s bouncy castle.

The Inflatable Helter Skelter Slide takes another approach, using the distinctive form associated with a traditional fairground Helter Skelter.

Both can provide prominent attractions while allowing the event to remain within our wider inflatable hire range.

The Event Where Trampolines Make More Sense

Sometimes the best way to vary the entertainment is to stop adding inflatables.

Our Bungee Trampolines provide a bungee-assisted experience that allows participants to bounce considerably higher than on an ordinary trampoline.

The 6 Bed Trailer Trampolines provide another option for suitable family events, adding an attraction that can operate alongside rides, games and inflatable equipment throughout the day.

For a busy public event, mixing attraction types can make the overall entertainment selection much more interesting.

The Indoor Event in Co Clare

A sports hall, community venue or suitable indoor event space requires another rethink.

Selected inflatables and games can be installed indoors where the building provides sufficient usable floor area, ceiling clearance and appropriate access.

Our arcade games can also provide entertainment for appropriate indoor events, offering an alternative to physically demanding activities.

This can be useful for company functions, school events, youth programmes and seasonal occasions where an entirely outdoor setup would introduce unnecessary dependence on the weather.

The Corporate Day Where Nobody Wants Another Presentation

Corporate events don’t necessarily need more time sitting in chairs.

A programme of short competitive activities can get colleagues moving between challenges instead. Teams might attempt Warrior Wall, compete in Xtreme Demolition, race through sections of Toxic Bootcamp and finish with the Kentucky Derby Racer.

Kentucky Derby allows up to eight participants to compete simultaneously, with players rolling balls into scoring holes to move their individual horses towards the finish line.

For suitable brand activations and promotional programmes, our Custom Branded Kentucky Derby can also be adapted around company or campaign branding.

The Company Family Day

Add partners and children to the guest list and the event changes again.

Competitive activities can remain for staff, but children’s bouncy castles and family attractions can be introduced elsewhere. The Toyset Carousel provides entertainment for younger riders, while the Spinning Teacups Carousel brings a familiar fairground ride into the programme.

Catering can then help turn the event into an afternoon or evening occasion rather than a short activity session.

The Clare Event That Needs a Stage

Some programmes combine amusement hire with live entertainment.

Stage Truck NI can provide a mobile stage solution for suitable events involving music, performers, presentations, announcements and other live content.

The stage can act as one focal point while rides and activities continue elsewhere, allowing organisers to alternate between scheduled entertainment and attractions that remain available throughout the event.

G Force Amusements can also assist with event crew, medics, SIA security, drivers and entertainment sourcing where required.

The Traditional Funfair

Eventually we reach the event that doesn’t need a few attractions at all.

It needs a fairground.

Our funfair hire service can bring together different rides and attractions for suitable festivals, major community programmes and public events.

The Panoramic Ferris Wheel can become a substantial visual centrepiece, while the Sea Storm Pirate Ship adds a much more energetic ride experience.

Family attractions such as Teacups can then broaden the appeal, while children’s rides, games and food can occupy other parts of the site.

The Event Where Bumper Carz Belong

For suitable larger events, Bumper Carz add another classic fairground experience to the lineup.

They also help vary the way visitors interact with the event. A Ferris Wheel provides a scenic ride, Teacups rotate, inflatables involve physical activity and Bumper Carz put the participants in control.

That difference matters when an organiser is trying to build a sizeable programme rather than simply increase the number of attractions.

The Charity Fundraiser

Fundraising events often benefit from activities that can be repeated throughout the day.

Kentucky Derby races can continually restart with new groups. Holey Moley provides quick competitions. Foot Pool can operate casually, while children’s attractions keep families involved elsewhere.

Depending on how the fundraiser is structured, rides, games and event catering can be combined to create a much broader family event around the fundraising activity itself.

The Event Where Food Is Part of the Atmosphere

Funfair food has a useful habit of advertising itself before visitors even see the stall.

Freshly prepared Dinky Donuts, traditional Popcorn and Candy Floss can all be incorporated into suitable events.

Toast Your Own Marshmallows offers something different for selected evening, autumn and winter occasions, combining refreshments with an activity.

Our broader outside catering options can also be discussed where an event requires more than traditional funfair treats.

The Christmas Event

A December programme naturally calls for a different mixture from a summer sports day.

Racing Reindeers transforms the Kentucky Derby racing format for the festive season. Marshmallow toasting can complement suitable winter programmes, while children’s rides, games and indoor entertainment can help create a broader Christmas event.

The same principle applies to Halloween and autumn programmes: instead of treating the standard summer equipment list as compulsory, we can select the parts of the range that fit the season and venue.

Event Hire from Ennis to Communities Throughout Co Clare

G Force Amusements can travel to suitable event venues throughout County Clare, including Ennis, Shannon, Kilrush, Kilkee, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Sixmilebridge, Clarecastle, Ennistymon, Lahinch, Lisdoonvarna, Miltown Malbay, Scariff and surrounding areas.

That includes suitable rural event sites as well as venues in the county’s larger towns. Available space, access, surface conditions and the requirements of individual attractions help determine which equipment can be installed.

For events outside the county, our Republic of Ireland event hire service extends throughout Ireland.

The Part Visitors Rarely See

Before anyone rides, bounces or races, the equipment has to be transported to Clare, positioned and installed correctly.

G Force Amusements handles that process, with attractions operated or supervised by trained personnel where appropriate. We carry £10 million public liability insurance, and relevant equipment is inspected and tested as required.

Risk assessments and certification are available for organised events, and our uniformed team is Access NI checked. Further information about our procedures can be found on the Health & Safety page.

From a Few Attractions to a Full Co Clare Event

That’s ultimately the range.

A small local fundraiser might need a bouncy castle, game and food stall. A school could require several active challenges. A company might want a competitive team programme. A family festival could combine children’s attractions, trampolines, rides and catering. A major public event might require a full funfair, stage and supporting services.

The equipment should follow the event, not the other way around.
