The giant chess that Stow-on-the-Wold 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.

Venues around Stow-on-the-Wold

Stow parties tend to happen in older, lovelier buildings than most: honey-stone barns, function rooms off the Market Square, and village halls in the Swells and Bledington. Barn ceilings up here are usually generous, which suits the 4ft Light-Up Letters and even a 12ft castle indoors. Gardens can slope, this being the Cotswolds, so tell us about the lawn when you book and we bring the right anchoring.

Why book local in Stow-on-the-Wold

A national marketplace will list you a supplier from Birmingham and hope for the best. We drive the Fosse Way ourselves, we know how Market Square parking behaves on a Saturday, and one person, the owner, checks the kit, delivers it and answers for it if anything needs sorting.
