Space Hoppers Grand National

Three riders on giant space hoppers, one 40ft x 18ft inflatable race track, and a commentary box that writes itself. Children and adults can all race, so the whole party takes its turn. Riders bounce around the course in their own lanes, and with the optional hurdles in place the race turns into a proper steeplechase. For £10 a set we'll add horse covers, so your riders bounce round dressed as thoroughbreds while the rest of the crowd backs their favourites.

It's a headline attraction rather than a filler: big enough to structure a whole afternoon of heats around, and funny enough that the people waiting for the next race enjoy it as much as the ones riding. It has been the centrepiece of school sports days, summer fayres and hen parties, and it went out as part of a multi-attraction setup for a Scouts and Guides camp in Nottinghamshire with around 4,000 young people on site, alongside our assault courses, climbing wall and bungee trampolines.

Run it alongside tug of war, Walking Tubes and Giant Skis for a full programme of team heats, or book the complete sports day package with a compere and let us run the whole thing. For indoor race-night entertainment, our Home Stretch horse racing game and the Gold Cup bring the same atmosphere inside.

From £249, delivered, anchored and set up by our own team. The track runs from a normal 13-amp socket, or we can bring one of our generators for sites without power. We've been supplying events since 1999, we own and maintain the kit in-house, and every hire carries £5 million public liability insurance.
