The giant chess that Standlake 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 Standlake

Venues around Standlake

Standlake parties happen in gardens, paddocks and the village hall, with a fair few marquees near the water at Hardwick Lakes in summer. It is flat, green and mostly generous with space, which suits the bigger kit: the 12ft castle, the giant games spread across a lawn, a marquee floor twinkling after dark. If your garden backs onto open ground, tell us in the booking notes and we will bring longer pegs.
