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

Watlington calls itself England's smallest town and it throws parties like one big village, which suits us. We are about 24 miles away in Faringdon and cover the whole OX49 area, taking in Pyrton, Cuxham, Lewknor, Britwell Salome and Christmas Common up on the hill. Bouncy castles and soft play for the children, a photo booth or LED dance floor for the grown-ups, and every hire includes delivery, set up and collection.

Watlington is about 24 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 Watlington 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 Watlington

Venues around Watlington

Parties here fill the town hall end of the high street, church rooms, gardens behind brick-and-flint cottages, and marquees on farms under Watlington Hill. Chilterns gardens can be terraced or tucked behind narrow passages, so measurements and a note about access help us bring kit that fits first time. For a hill-country marquee after dark, the light-up letters are a picture.

Why book local in Watlington

The Chilterns end of Oxfordshire is where distant hire firms start adding vague fuel charges. We do not. The radius is 30 miles, Watlington is inside it, the price is the price. One van from Faringdon, one slot, and the owner checks every piece before it travels.
