Giant Garden Chess Hire in Henley-on-Thames

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

Book from £125 Delivered & set up in Henley-on-Thames · collection included

Henley is the far corner of our patch, about 28 miles from Faringdon, and worth every minute of the drive along the river. We bring party hire to the whole RG9 area, including Shiplake, Harpsden, Remenham and out to Nettlebed. Magic mirrors and LED dance floors do especially well here, though a bouncy castle on a Henley lawn in July takes some beating. Everything arrives set up and ready.

Henley-on-Thames is about 28 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 Henley-on-Thames 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 Henley-on-Thames
