Giant Garden Chess Hire in Cricklade

A chess set the size of a patio. Suddenly everyone is a grandmaster.

Book from £125 Delivered & set up in Cricklade · collection included

Cricklade calls itself the first town on the Thames, and the river really is barely a stream as it slips past North Meadow. We are about 14 miles away in Faringdon, so the SN6 run to Cricklade, Latton, Ashton Keynes, Leigh and Purton Stoke is an easy one for us. This is a town that turns out properly for a do, and we keep the van loaded accordingly.

Cricklade is about 14 miles from our Faringdon base, comfortably inside our free delivery area, so set up and collection are included like everywhere else.

The giant chess that Cricklade 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 Cricklade

Venues around Cricklade

Cricklade hosts everything from christenings in halls off the High Street to festival-scale days on the field. Gardens on the Thames side are long and flat, which is good news for giant games and a candy floss machine on a trestle. The villages toward Ashton Keynes and the lakes lean on marquees and farm barns for weddings. Wherever the party is, we carry the kit in and take it away after.

Why book local in Cricklade

Some lanes between Cricklade and the lakes flood in a wet winter, and we know which ones. A marketplace supplier from three counties away is finding that out on your party day. One van from Faringdon, one delivery slot, and the owner checks every peg, plug and headset himself.
