Whether you’re planning a private party or a corporate event, you’ll want to achieve an incredible atmosphere. Here’s 8 quick tips to help you plan your day as smoothly as possible, and ensure everyone has a great time!
1. Book a suitable space
Decide where your fun day will be held and book it well in advance. A local pub garden, school field or community hall are all good places to hold a fun day. You need to make sure there is adequate room for everything you have planned. Also check if there are toilets and power available. You can add some little touches, such as bunting to bring the place to life, or choose a theme for throughout the fun day.
2. Logistics
The chances are, your chosen location, will not have insurance for all the activities you have planned. You will need to make sure you have suitable insurance for everything you have planned and ensure all electrical equipment is tested by relevant inspectors.
You will also need to ensure risk assessments are completed to make sure everyone is safe.
3. Choosing a date and time
Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to organise the day. You’ll be much more relaxed when the day comes along if you know you’ve spent time planning all the details.
Choose a date that doesn’t clash with anything such as big sporting events like football cup finals, of Wimbledon finals. Create a realistic timeline for the day and take into consideration the time needed to set and clean up.
4. Something for the kids
A good variety of stalls and activities ensures kids will have a great time and never want to leave. Children of all ages enjoy face painting and inflatable slides. Play zones are a great option for little ones, and for those a bit older, hire circus workshops and acrobats are great opportunities to show off their skills.
5. Refreshments
Kids of all ages will be needing some food and drink caterers to give them energy to keep on having fun.
6. Shelter in case of rain
As we all know, the British weather cannot be trusted! It is worth thinking about having canopies and / or marquees for shelter, should it rain.
