Botley sits on the western edge of Oxford, about 16 miles from our Faringdon base and a straightforward run up the A420 for our van. We deliver across OX2, from the streets around West Way Square out to North Hinksey, Dean Court, Wytham and Farmoor. Garden bouncy castles, a magic mirror for a golden wedding, giant games for a street party, all set up and collected by us.

The giant chess that Botley books

A full giant chess set with its own board mat, laid out on your lawn, terrace or hall floor by us. It photographs beautifully, it slows a party down in the best way, and someone always ends up carrying the queen around.

Some hires make noise, this one makes a scene. A giant chess set turns a quiet corner of lawn into the most photographed square metre of the party. Guests who have not played since school suddenly have opinions about openings, kids commandeer the knights, and the board keeps drawing people in from the first drink to the last dance.

  • Full 32-piece giant set with board mat
  • Laid out ready to play at your venue
  • Wiped, checked and counted before every hire
  • Free delivery, set up and collection in Botley

Venues around Botley

Botley is more town than village, so parties here lean on community halls, school halls and compact gardens rather than sprawling lawns. That suits us fine. Our 12ft castle fits most Botley gardens, soft play tucks into a hall corner, and the silent disco was practically invented for houses with neighbours close enough to borrow sugar from. On hard standing we anchor with ballast instead of pegs, so patios and driveways are no problem.

Why book local in Botley

The Botley Road end of Oxford is famous for traffic, and a courier from a national marketplace learns that the hard way at your expense. We plan around it because we drive it often. One van, one slot we actually keep, and every piece of kit checked by the owner before it leaves Faringdon.
