FAQs – Event Hire Equipment in Co Longford

What type of setup works well for community-based events?

Community events often benefit from a combination of interactive inflatables and family-friendly rides, creating a welcoming and active environment.

Yes, we provide attractions suitable for indoor spaces such as halls, as well as outdoor locations like fields and parks, depending on the available space.

Multi-user inflatables and attractions with quick turnaround times help reduce waiting and keep visitors engaged throughout the day.

What attractions are suitable for a wide age range?

A mix of bouncy castles, games and food stalls ensures there are activities for children, teenagers and adults.

Can you adapt your setup to smaller venues?

How do you approach planning the layout of an event?

We consider the shape and size of the venue, access routes and expected footfall to position attractions in a way that supports smooth movement.

Do you provide staff to manage the equipment?

Our experienced team can operate and supervise attractions during the event, ensuring safe use and efficient running.

What safety standards are followed for your equipment?

All equipment is tested and maintained to meet industry requirements, including ADIPS certification, with full insurance and documentation provided.

Event Hire Range in Co Longford

G Force Amusements can bring considerably more than one or two inflatables to an event in County Longford. Our range stretches from children’s bouncy castles and play equipment to competitive inflatable challenges, traditional fairground games, trampolines, family rides, major funfair attractions, event food and staging.

That breadth means we can supply one carefully chosen attraction for a smaller event or put together a much broader entertainment selection for schools, community organisations, sports clubs, businesses, charities, festivals and public events throughout Co Longford.

Big Inflatable Challenges for Longford Events

At the larger end of our inflatable range is the Toxic Bootcamp Challenge Assault Course.

The complete three-section course extends to approximately 150ft x 15ft, giving two competitors a long head-to-head route packed with obstacles. There are crawl tunnels, Bish Bash barriers, tangled mangles, climbing sections, a demolition ball and dual freefall slides to negotiate before reaching the finish.

It can also be configured as an approximately 129ft two-section course or a 65ft single section, giving us more flexibility when the full version isn’t suitable for the available site.

For something more vertical, the Warrior Wall provides three climbing challenges at different difficulty levels. Participants make their way up before returning via the inflatable slide.

Competitive Games That Keep Changing Players

A large event benefits from attractions where one group can finish and the next can quickly get involved.

The Xtreme Demolition Zone puts four competitors on separate inflatable podiums around a suspended demolition ball. Staying on your own podium while trying to remove everybody else is the challenge.

Holey Moley Human Whack A Mole increases the number of participants to seven and turns a familiar arcade idea into a full-size human game.

Then there is our Rodeo Bull, where participants can find out how long they can remain aboard while everybody else watches the timer. It works particularly well for corporate entertainment, university events, fundraisers and competitive fun days.

These are just some of the options available within our wider interactive and inflatable games range.

A Different Kind of Competition: Kentucky Derby Racing

Not everybody wants to climb, bounce or tackle an obstacle course.

Our Kentucky Derby Racer brings traditional fairground competition to Longford events, with up to eight players racing simultaneously.

Competitors roll balls towards coloured scoring holes, with successful shots moving their horse along the track. The first horse home wins, and then another group can take over for the next race.

For suitable corporate promotions and branded events, we can also provide a Custom Branded Kentucky Derby.

Sports Inflatables for Clubs, Schools and Fun Days

Our range includes several attractions for organisers who want to introduce a sporting element.

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

Foot Pool mixes football with the layout and rules of pool, while the 3 in 1 Sports Inflatable combines baseball, basketball and Velcro darts.

A sports club could choose one attraction for a presentation day or fundraiser, while a larger school or community event could use several to create a dedicated activity section.

Bouncy Castles for Children’s Events in Co Longford

Alongside all of the unusual challenges and games, we still have the children’s favourite: bouncy castles.

Our bouncy castle hire selection includes colourful themed options such as the Spiderman Bouncy Castle, Disney Bouncy Castle and Ice Kingdom Bouncy Castle.

They can provide straightforward children’s entertainment at school events, family fun days, community celebrations, charity events and other suitable occasions.

More Than Bouncing for Younger Children

The Paw Patrol Play Zone gives younger visitors several activities within the same inflatable, combining a bouncing area with a ball pool, slide and interactive play features.

At a larger family event, it can form part of a children’s section alongside bouncy castles and rides rather than asking the youngest visitors to use attractions designed for much older children.

The Fire Department Fun House goes considerably further. This two-storey attraction measures approximately 50ft x 18ft and contains crazy bridges, hamster wheels, stepping stones, spinning discs, rolling walkways and a slippery slide.

Inflatable Slides That Stand Out

Our inflatable collection also includes large slides for organisers who want an attraction with plenty of height.

The Minions Mega Slide measures approximately 25ft x 12ft and takes riders up to a platform around 18ft high before the descent.

Alternatively, the Inflatable Helter Skelter Slide recreates the recognisable shape of the traditional fairground attraction as an inflatable slide.

Either can add another type of activity to a Longford event already using bouncy castles, games or children’s rides.

Trampoline Hire for Co Longford

We have two very different trampoline attractions within the range.

Our Bungee Trampolines use four trampoline beds with a bungee-assisted system, giving participants a bouncing experience that is quite different from a conventional trampoline.

The 6 Bed Trailer Trampolines provide six separate beds, allowing several children to enjoy the attraction at the same time.

Trampolines are particularly useful when a larger family event needs variety beyond inflatables and fairground rides.

Children’s Funfair Rides

For organisers looking to introduce proper amusement rides for younger visitors, there are several options.

The Safari Train Ride can carry up to 14 children around a configurable track. Its colourful safari design and animal sound effects make the journey part of the entertainment.

Our Toyset Carousel gives children a choice of colourful vehicles and characters, while the Spinning Teacups Carousel has six cups accommodating up to four riders each.

These can be particularly effective at family festivals and community events where the audience includes younger children who need their own selection of attractions.

Bumper Carz Bring Another Fairground Favourite

Our Bumper Carz put children behind the wheel inside an approximately 8m x 12m inflatable arena.

Rather than simply sitting on a ride, participants control their own cars, spin around the arena and inevitably spend a fair amount of time trying to bump into their friends.

They provide a useful bridge between children’s rides and the larger attractions available for major public events.

Major Funfair Attractions for Large Longford Events

The scale can increase considerably when the venue and event require it.

Our Panoramic Wheel stands approximately 38 metres high, making it both a ride and a major visual feature within a suitable event site.

The Sea Storm Pirate Ship provides a completely different fairground experience, combining its maritime styling with the familiar swinging motion of a Pirate Ship ride.

Through our established trading partners, we can also source additional attractions for major programmes. Our funfair hire service can therefore extend beyond a handful of individual rides when a Longford festival or public event requires a much broader setup.

Traditional Event Food Alongside the Attractions

Our range doesn’t stop when the rides and games have been chosen.

We can add traditional event food, including freshly prepared Dinky Donuts, Candy Floss and Popcorn.

Toast Your Own Marshmallows provides something different for suitable evening, autumn and winter events, while our outside catering service can help with larger requirements.

Christmas Entertainment in Co Longford

Seasonal events can draw on different parts of the range rather than simply reproducing a summer fun day indoors.

Our Racing Reindeers turn the Kentucky Derby format into a Christmas competition, while marshmallow toasting and traditional event food can add to the winter atmosphere.

Selected inflatables, arcade games and other attractions can also be considered for suitable indoor venues where the available dimensions, access and operating requirements allow.

Stage and Event Support for Larger Programmes

If rides and activities are only one part of the programme, Stage Truck NI provides a 30ft truck-mounted stage suitable for live entertainment, DJs, presentations and announcements.

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

This allows organisers to speak to us about more than the individual attractions when planning a larger event.

From a Few Attractions to a Full Longford Event Range

A small community fundraiser may only need a bouncy castle, game and food unit. A school could choose an assault course and several sports activities. A company might prefer competitive entertainment, while a major public event could combine children’s rides, inflatables, trampolines, traditional games, major funfair attractions, catering and a stage.

There is no requirement to hire the whole range. Having that range available simply gives organisers more freedom to choose equipment that suits their audience and the scale of their event.

G Force Amusements carries £10 million public liability insurance, with relevant rides and equipment inspected and tested as required. Trained personnel provide professional setup, operation and supervision where appropriate, and further information can be found on our Health & Safety page.
