FAQs – Event Hire Equipment in Co Laois

What kind of entertainment can you bring to events in Laois?

We provide a broad mix of attractions suitable for all ages, including funfair rides, interactive inflatables, themed bouncy castles and a selection of food stalls. This allows organisers in Laois to create a well-rounded event with something for everyone.

Are your attractions suitable for both indoor and outdoor venues?

Yes. Many of our inflatables and smaller attractions can be set up indoors in sports halls or community centres, while larger rides and games are ideal for outdoor spaces such as school fields, parks and GAA grounds across County Laois.

Do you only supply equipment, or do you manage the setup too?

We handle everything from delivery and installation to operation and pack-down. Our team ensures all equipment is safely installed and can remain on site to supervise attractions throughout the event if required.

What are some good options for keeping older children and teenagers entertained?

For older age groups, we recommend competitive and high-energy attractions such as the Xtreme Demolition Zone, Warrior Wall and Toxic Bootcamp Assault Course. These are particularly effective at school events and youth-focused activities.

Can I hire just one attraction, or do you offer packages?

You can hire individual items or build a larger package depending on your needs. Some organisers choose a single inflatable, while others combine rides, games and catering to create a full event setup.

What food options can you provide at events in Laois?

We offer a range of traditional funfair-style catering including candy floss, popcorn, dinky donuts and marshmallow toasting. These are popular additions for both small and large gatherings.

Are your rides and inflatables compliant with safety regulations?

All of our attractions are tested under ADIPS and meet current safety standards. We carry £10 million public liability insurance and provide all necessary documentation, including risk assessments and certification.

Who operates the equipment during the event?

Our trained, uniformed staff manage the equipment on site. They are experienced in safe operation and customer interaction, helping ensure everything runs efficiently throughout your event.

What types of organisations do you work with in Laois?

We regularly work with schools, councils, community groups, sports clubs, corporate clients and private organisers. Our equipment is suitable for everything from local fundraisers to larger public events.

Is it possible to customise the entertainment for themed events?

Yes, we can help tailor your setup depending on the theme or type of event. Whether it’s a seasonal celebration, sports day or family festival, we can recommend suitable attractions to match your plans.

Event Hire in Co Laois for Every Kind of Crowd

A good event isn’t simply a collection of attractions placed on a field. A children’s fun day needs a very different entertainment mix from a corporate gathering, while a town festival has completely different demands again. G Force Amusements provides event hire in Co Laois with a broad enough range to put together entertainment around the people who will actually be attending.

Our equipment can travel to Portlaoise, Portarlington, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Mountrath, Stradbally, Rathdowney, Durrow and venues elsewhere in County Laois. Depending on the event, that could mean traditional funfair attractions, children’s bouncy castles, giant inflatable challenges, competitive games, catering or a combination of several different elements.

Give a Laois Family Event a Proper Funfair Feel

For a community celebration, festival or large family day, funfair rides can immediately establish the character of the event.

Our Spinning Teacups Carousel provides a colourful family attraction beneath its circus-style canopy, while the Toyset Carousel offers another option aimed particularly at younger visitors.

The Safari Train Ride can be especially useful where organisers want an attraction that children and families can enjoy together. Its track can be configured to suit different spaces, subject to the requirements of the venue.

For bigger occasions, our funfair ride collection extends considerably further. Major attractions such as the Panoramic Ferris Wheel can provide a prominent focal point at substantial public events, while the Sea Storm Pirate Ship introduces something more energetic.

Don’t Forget the Candy Floss

The rides may provide the movement, but traditional food stalls contribute just as much to the atmosphere of a funfair-style event.

G Force Amusements can provide event catering alongside our entertainment, allowing organisers to combine several requirements through the same experienced team.

There are the classics: Candy Floss, freshly prepared Popcorn and hot Dinky Donuts. For suitable autumn, winter and evening events, Toast Your Own Marshmallows can add an interactive element to the catering rather than food simply being handed over a counter.

At a busy Laois festival or family event, catering areas can be incorporated into the wider layout alongside rides and activities, giving visitors places to stop between attractions.

Keeping Younger Children Busy in Co Laois

When the audience is predominantly children, our bouncy castles provide a different starting point.

The collection includes themed designs such as the Disney Bouncy Castle, Spiderman Bouncy Castle and Ice Kingdom Bouncy Castle. These can be used individually for smaller events or grouped with other children’s equipment to form a dedicated inflatable section at a larger family day.

For younger children, the Paw Patrol Play Zone combines several activities within one inflatable. Alongside its bouncing area, children can use a ball pool, slide and interactive features inside the Paw Patrol-themed surround.

Go Up Rather Than Out

Where organisers want an inflatable with more visual presence, a large slide can be a useful alternative to adding several smaller bouncy castles.

Our Minions Mega Slide has an approximately 18ft platform and measures around 25ft x 12ft overall. Its height and distinctive theming make it particularly noticeable at outdoor events.

The Inflatable Helter Skelter Slide takes another approach altogether, reproducing the familiar shape of the traditional fairground Helter Skelter in inflatable form.

What About Teenagers and Older Participants?

They’re not necessarily going to be satisfied watching younger children bounce around all afternoon.

This is where the more competitive side of our inflatable hire range becomes useful.

Holey Moley Human Whack A Mole combines speed, competition and an enormous inflatable hammer. Players attempt to collect balls from the centre while avoiding the participant playing the role of the mole catcher.

The Xtreme Demolition Zone places four opponents on inflatable podiums around a suspended demolition ball. Each competitor has to maintain their own balance while attempting to knock everybody else from theirs.

For something more physical, participants can take on the Warrior Wall, with different climbing challenges providing routes towards the top before the return journey down the slide.

Event Hire for Laois Sports Clubs and Schools

Sports days, school celebrations and club events give us an opportunity to bring out another part of the collection.

Foot Pool combines two familiar games into one activity, while the 3 in 1 Sports Inflatable provides basketball, baseball and Velcro darts without requiring three separate installations.

Football clubs and larger sporting events can go substantially bigger with the Wall 2 Wall Inflatable Football Arena. At approximately 50ft x 20ft, it provides an enclosed arena that can accommodate games of up to five-a-side.

These attractions can also be mixed with conventional sports-day activities, allowing participants to move between organised races, inflatable competitions and casual games throughout the event.

One Attraction for People to Talk About

Sometimes it makes more sense to invest the available space in one substantial centrepiece.

The complete Toxic Bootcamp Challenge Assault Course can extend to approximately 150ft, creating a head-to-head challenge involving tunnels, Bish Bash obstacles, tangled mangles, climbing sections, a demolition ball and dual freefall slides.

It doesn’t require a 150ft site every time. The course consists of modular sections, allowing smaller versions to be installed where appropriate. That makes it possible to adapt the challenge for different school grounds, playing fields and event venues in Laois.

Corporate and Team Events Don’t Need to Feel Corporate

Company family days, staff celebrations and team-building events can make use of many of the same attractions, but with a different combination.

Rather than concentrating on children’s equipment, a corporate programme might combine competitive inflatables, sports challenges and traditional games. A Kentucky Derby Racer, for example, allows up to eight people to race simultaneously by rolling balls into scoring holes to move their horses towards the finish.

Custom branding can also be incorporated into our Custom Branded Kentucky Derby for appropriate corporate activations and promotional events.

Add catering, a few family rides and activities for employees’ children and the result can become a complete company family day rather than a conventional staff function.

Indoor Event Options for Laois Venues

Outdoor events have obvious advantages, but Irish weather occasionally has its own event plan.

Selected bouncy castles, inflatable games and other attractions can be used inside appropriate halls and event venues. Suitability depends on much more than whether an attraction appears to fit on the floor: ceiling clearance, entrances, usable operating space and equipment requirements all need to be considered.

If you’re considering an indoor venue in Portlaoise or elsewhere in Laois, provide us with the available dimensions and access information and we can advise on realistic options from the range.

Professional Event Hire for Public and Organised Events

Our role doesn’t end when a lorry reaches the venue. Equipment needs to be unloaded, correctly positioned, installed and checked before guests are allowed to use it. Attractions are then operated or supervised by trained staff where required before being dismantled and removed after the event.

G Force Amusements carries £10 million public liability insurance. Relevant equipment is inspected and tested as required, with risk assessments and certification available for organised events. You can find further information about our procedures on the Health & Safety page.

Serving Portlaoise, Portarlington and County Laois

Our event hire service is available throughout Co Laois, including Portlaoise, Portarlington, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Mountrath, Stradbally, Rathdowney, Durrow, Borris-in-Ossory and surrounding communities.

We also travel throughout the Republic of Ireland, so events close to county boundaries or organisers coordinating programmes in several locations can use our wider Republic of Ireland event hire service.

Choose the Audience First and the Equipment Second

A family festival might call for Teacups, children’s inflatables and candy floss. A secondary-school activity day could be built around the Toxic Bootcamp Challenge and competitive games. A corporate event may work better with sports challenges, Kentucky Derby racing and catering. A major public celebration could justify a complete funfair installation.

That’s the advantage of having a broad range: the event doesn’t have to be forced around one type of equipment.
