The giant chess that Oxford 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 Oxford
Venues around Oxford
Oxford hosts everything from college garden parties to birthday teas in a Cowley back garden, and the spaces vary as much as the people. Church halls and community centres do steady service, school halls come alive in fete season, and Port Meadow picnics have a habit of growing into proper gatherings. Ceilings and stairs are the things to measure in older buildings. If your venue is up a narrow staircase, tell us and we will advise on what fits.
Why book local in Oxford
Big city, but the maths still favours the small outfit. One van from Faringdon means one delivery slot you can actually plan around, not a courier window. The owner checks every castle, headset and machine before it is loaded, and the same pair of hands sets it up at your door in Oxford.
