As the summer term approaches, schools begin planning some of the busiest and most exciting dates in the calendar. From sports days and summer fetes to reward afternoons and end of term celebrations, these events give pupils something to look forward to while bringing together families, teachers and the wider school community. At 1st Bounce, we help schools across South East London organise fun, active and well-run events with a wide range of entertainment and equipment available from All Products.
Sports days are one of the highlights of the school year, and adding interactive equipment can help turn a standard afternoon into something even more engaging. Competitive inflatables from Assault Course and Inflatable Games are a great fit for relay races, house competitions and challenge stations. Popular options include Rainbow Assault Course, Bungee Run 35ft, Penalty Shootout and Gladiator Duel, all of which are ideal for pupils who enjoy a bit of healthy competition. They are a brilliant way to get children moving, cheering each other on and burning off some of that end-of-term energy.
Supporting Schools Across Bromley, Lewisham, Beckenham and Beyond
We regularly provide school event hire throughout Bromley, Lewisham, Beckenham, Dulwich, Orpington, Chislehurst, Biggin Hill, Catford and Sydenham. Whether your school is planning a small reward day for one year group or a full summer fete for the whole community, we can deliver, set up and collect all equipment so your team can focus on running the event itself.
Summer fetes often call for a mix of attractions to suit different ages, and variety is where we really shine. Traditional fair-style activities such as Hook a Duck, Buzz Wire and favourites from Garden Games work well for stalls and side games, while larger attractions such as Inflatable Axe Throwing and Platform Slide can become centrepieces for the day. If your school wants to create a proper fairground feel, Fairground Package is also worth considering as a way to combine several attractions in one booking.
Of course, no summer school fete feels complete without refreshments, and we can help with that too. Sweet treats from Popcorn and Candy Floss are always popular with pupils and parents alike, with Popcorn Machine and Candy Floss Machine bringing those classic event-day smells and queues in the best possible way. For warmer afternoons, Twin Tub Slush Machine is another favourite, particularly when the sun decides to make an appearance for once.
End of term parties and reward days can also benefit from inflatables and games that give pupils a chance to celebrate finishing the year on a high note. Bright and colourful options from Bouncy Castles such as Coloured Bouncy Castle and Large Coloured Bouncy Castle are ideal for younger children, while Disco Dome is always a hit when pupils want something with a bit more bounce and beat. For schools catering to younger year groups, Soft Play can also provide a safe and engaging setup for nursery and reception pupils during summer events.
Why do schools book with us? We understand that school events need to run to schedule, meet venue requirements and be simple to organise. All equipment is cleaned before hire, safety checked and installed by our experienced team. We carry public liability insurance, PAT test electrical items where required and can provide documentation to schools ahead of the event if needed. Our aim is to make booking school entertainment straightforward, reliable and stress-free from the first enquiry through to collection.
If your school is planning a summer event this term, we would be delighted to help make it one to remember, in the good way, not the “someone spilt squash on the headteacher” way.
