Halloween Entertainment Hire in Nottingham
For Halloween events in Nottingham we bring the kit that does the job: a two-player zombie whack-a-mole, a mechanical pumpkin ride with our own operator, photo booths loaded with spooky props and staffed side stalls with prizes to win. Everything loads at our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, about forty minutes south down the M1, and most of the games run off a single standard socket.
Halloween Entertainment for Nottingham Events
Nottingham is about forty minutes south down the M1, and the county keeps us busy well beyond the city. We've worked the Victoria Centre in town, Amazon's Eastwood site, IKEA's Giltbrook store and the scouts' county events around Southwell and Winthorpe - Nottinghamshire Scouts alone book us several times a year.
The Nottingham Halloween diary mixes school and scout events, retail and city-centre nights, and student parties. The booths and the zombie game suit the city venues - they set up fast on a hall floor off one socket - while the stalls and the pumpkin ride suit the scout camps and community fields out towards Southwell, Calverton and Newark. We've run a few of those in October now, so the access questions are mostly answered before you ask them.
The Halloween Kit

Side Stalls, Dressed for Halloween
Side stalls earn their keep at a family Halloween event. The Coconut Shy, Tin Can Alley and Fish Bowl Challenge come dressed for the season, each with one of our operators running it and prizes to be won, and the Grand Carnival Fun Fair Stalls stacks four games into one unit when space is tight.
The Extras: PA, Food and Fog
The extras that make the difference: a PA speaker for the playlist, fun food like the candy floss machine, and the snow effects machine for fog across the entrance. For marquees and outdoor setups we hire generators and gazebos too. It's dark by teatime at the end of October, so festoon lighting strung over the marquee or battery-powered uplighters washing the walls belong in the plan as well.

Halloween Hire FAQs
How much does Halloween entertainment hire cost in Nottingham?
The Rodeo Pumpkin is £395 with the operator included, the booths and games run £495 to £595, and side stalls start at £295 for Tin Can Alley. All prices are plus VAT at 20%, and there may be a minimum spend depending on your location.
Do you deliver to Nottingham?
Yes. Nottingham is around forty minutes from the warehouse down the M1, and we cover the city plus West Bridgford, Beeston, Hucknall, Kimberley and out towards Southwell and Newark.
What space and power does the kit need?
One standard socket runs each game or booth. The Rodeo Pumpkin needs a clear 16ft by 16ft with 3ft 3in access; the halls and sports centres round Nottingham take it easily. Fields and campsites are fine with a hired generator.
Is someone included to run everything?
The pumpkin ride and the manned stalls come with our operators. Booths and games can be attended or self-serve. For scout camps and school events, most organisers take a couple of event staff for the day and let us run the games line.
How far ahead should we book?
Halloween weekend dates go first, and the scout and school bookings land once term starts. A couple of weeks is often enough for a single item; a month is comfortable for a multi-kit booking.
