Book from £125 Delivered & set up in Thame · collection included

Thame is the eastern limit of our patch, about 27 miles from our base in Faringdon, and worth the drive. We deliver party hire across OX9 and the villages around the town, including Long Crendon, Towersey, Moreton and Tetsworth. A market town with a showground habit knows how to celebrate, and we stock accordingly: 360 booth, magic mirror, silent disco, bouncy castles, soft play and the candy floss and popcorn pair.

Thame is about 27 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 Thame 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 Thame

Venues around Thame

Thame parties spread across barns and marquees on the surrounding farmland, garden dos off the high street, church and community halls, and school halls at fete season. The town's long market tradition means outdoor events are second nature here, and the giant games bundle plus candy floss machine make a very good stall pair. Marquees take the magic mirror and LED dance floor with just a firm floor and one socket each.

Why book local in Thame

At 27 miles Thame is exactly where big marketplaces quietly swap in a subcontractor you have never heard of. We do not subcontract. The van that leaves Faringdon is the van that arrives, the delivery slot is one slot, and the owner checked your kit onto it.
