Event Hire Cork
County Cork has one of the most active event calendars in Ireland, with everything from harbour festivals and agricultural shows to school fun days, corporate gatherings and large town celebrations. G Force Amusements works across Cork City and the wider county, supplying rides, inflatables, games, food stalls and professional event services designed to suit every scale of occasion. Rather than offering preset packages, we build each hire around the space available, the purpose of the event and the expected audience.
Cork’s diversity of venues means organisers often require a flexible approach. A busy city-centre event near the quayside has very different needs from a parish fun day in Macroom or a coastal festival in Youghal. Our team reviews your layout, access routes, crowd flow and ground conditions to recommend a selection of attractions that will operate safely and engage visitors throughout the day. All equipment is ADIPS tested and backed by £10 million public liability insurance, giving event managers peace of mind in both public and private settings.
A Complete Range of Attractions for Cork Events
The variety of events held across the county means organisers look for a broad mix of entertainment options. We supply equipment suitable for young children, families, teenagers and adult groups, allowing you to create a balanced, well-paced event programme.
Funfair Rides
Large attractions such as the Giant Ferris Wheel and Panoramic Wheel are often requested for high-visibility events in Cork City and major towns. For family days and community festivals, we regularly supply the Sea Storm Pirate Ship, Teacups, Toyset Carousel and the Safari Train Ride. These rides attract steady footfall and are suitable for a wide range of audiences.
Inflatables and Activity Zones
Inflatables remain a core part of many Cork events. Our range includes themed bouncy castles, large inflatable slides, multi-activity play zones and specialised pieces such as the Toxic Bootcamp Assault Course. We also offer high-energy challenges like Human Whack a Mole and the Warrior Wall, which are popular with schools, youth clubs and sports organisations.
Arcade and Mechanical Games
Competitive attractions work particularly well at fundraisers, college events and corporate family days. Options include the Rodeo Bull, Rodeo Reindeer, Kentucky Derby, Racing Reindeers and our selection of arcade-style games. These units help maintain steady engagement throughout the event and encourage group participation.
Event Food Stalls
Food attractions are a simple way to enhance atmosphere and encourage visitors to spend longer on-site. Our catering-style stalls include Dinky Donuts, Popcorn, Candy Floss and Toast Your Own Marshmallows. All items are prepared fresh on location and can be placed as standalone features or alongside our rides and inflatables.
Staging and Support Services
For events requiring a platform for music, speeches or awards, we offer Stage Truck NI, a 30ft truck-mounted stage equipped for outdoor use. It is frequently used at community festivals, sporting presentations and town-centre events.
