Giant Garden Chess Hire in Down Ampney

Down Ampney is a village of about six hundred people, best known as Ralph Vaughan Williams' birthplace, and an easy 13 miles from our Faringdon base. We deliver the whole FunFast catalogue here and around the neighbouring Ampneys, including Ampney Crucis, Ampney St Peter, Poulton and Latton, all in the GL7 postcode. Village dos, christenings, birthdays in a farmhouse garden: whatever the size, delivery, set up and collection come included.

Down Ampney is about 13 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 Down Ampney 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 Down Ampney

Venues around Down Ampney

In a village of a few hundred people, the village hall does the heavy lifting, backed up by farmhouse gardens and the odd marquee on a paddock. The hall here suits our soft play corner, giant games and candy floss cart, and a 12ft castle fits many halls this size (worth checking the ceiling before you book). Bigger celebrations tend to borrow a barn or garden nearby, and we set up wherever the party lands.
