Event Game Hire in Gloucester

Gloucester keeps a busy events calendar through the year, from conferences and exhibitions at Cheltenham Racecourse to company celebrations and team away-days across Gloucester, the Cotswolds and the surrounding towns. Fun Pro delivers quality games throughout the region, and because we're based in Coventry we're only around 60 miles away, roughly an hour and a quarter via the A46 and the M5. Every booking includes delivery, professional setup and collection as standard, so the logistics are one less thing to think about on the day.

Whether you're planning an exhibition stand at Cheltenham Racecourse, a team building day for a few hundred people, or a staff party at Kingsholm Stadium, the right interactive games can change how your guests experience the event. We're here to help you work out what that looks like for your audience and venue, rather than handing you a list and leaving you to guess.

Games We Deliver to Gloucester Events

Different events call for different games, and the best choice depends on your audience, your space and what you're trying to achieve. Here's a practical guide to what tends to work well, so you can plan a corporate event in Gloucester with the entertainment side already sorted.

Reaction games like Batak Pro and Strike a Light Danger Zone suit exhibition stands and conference ice-breakers particularly well. They're visually engaging, quick to pick up, and naturally draw a crowd, giving visitors a reason to stop at your stand and start a conversation. If floor space is tight, the Batak Lite is a more compact option worth considering.

Prize and grabber games, including Grab A Grand, Ballnado, the Prize Crane and the Prize Wheel, work well at brand activation stands and trade shows. They draw footfall, give visitors a reason to engage, and build a bit of buzz. All of these can be wrapped with your company branding, which our team designs and prints in-house.

For corporate events with a more social feel, arcade and simulator games are the reliable choice. Retro arcade machines and racing simulators are popular at fun days, staff parties and award ceremony receptions. They create natural moments for people to gather and chat, and they suit a wide range of ages and abilities, which matters when you've got a mixed group to please. They're also among the best games for corporate events where you want people staying and socialising rather than passing through.

For events where it's important that everyone can join in, games like Roll & Bowl and Plinko are worth considering. They're lower-intensity, easy for anyone to take part in, and work well for large groups cycling through activity stations across the day.

Photo booths and magic mirrors are a consistent choice for award ceremonies, Christmas parties and branded events. They give guests something to gather around, produce content people genuinely want to share, and can be customised with your event branding.

For smaller settings, networking evenings or office entertainment, pub games such as shuffleboard create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages conversation without needing much physical effort or a competitive streak.

Gloucester Venues We Know Well

Part of getting entertainment right is understanding the space it's going into. Floor surfaces, access, power points and timing windows all shape what's practical, and a game that's ideal in a large function room can be awkward in a hotel meeting suite. Here's how some of the county's better-known event venues tend to work.

Cheltenham Racecourse

Cheltenham Racecourse is the region's leading venue for conferences, exhibitions and awards, with flexible spaces from intimate meeting rooms up to an auditorium seating well over a thousand, all just off the M5. Competition for visitors' attention on the show floor is high, so branded reaction games and grabbers earn their place by drawing people in. For awards evenings, arcade machines and photo booths work nicely as reception entertainment.

Kingsholm Stadium

Home to Gloucester Rugby and sitting in the heart of the city near the M5, Kingsholm is one of the largest event venues in Gloucester, with a good number of distinct spaces for conferences, corporate days and celebrations. Its function rooms tend to favour compact, self-contained games, so reaction games, prize wheels and photo booths fit the footprint without crowding the room.

Hotels and Function Rooms Across the County

Plenty of corporate events take place at hotels around Gloucester and the Cotswolds, from larger exhibition-style suites such as the Hatherley Suite at Hatherley Manor to smaller country-house meeting rooms. Hotel spaces usually have tighter dimensions and more fixed furniture than a dedicated hall, so compact games make the most sense. It's worth sharing the room layout early so we can recommend options that fit comfortably.

Other Venues Across Gloucester

We also deliver to celebrations at Gloucester Quays and the historic Docks, student and freshers events at the University of Gloucester, family fun days and community events, and offices across the county. If your venue isn't listed here, get in touch with the details and we'll talk through what works in the space.

Planning Game Hire for a Gloucester Corporate Event

A little planning ahead of time keeps the entertainment side running smoothly, and there are a few practical points worth thinking about early.

Start with guest numbers and flow. You'll want enough clear space for people to play and queue without blocking walkways or exits, so it helps to picture where games will sit within the wider layout. Sharing a floor plan early means we can advise on what fits before anything is booked.

Think about the mix of people attending, too. A room of mixed ages, abilities and personalities is best served by a range of options rather than something that leans too heavily on physical effort or competitiveness. A couple of gentler choices alongside the more energetic ones means nobody feels left out.

Your objective shapes the choice as well. An exhibition stand needs games that draw footfall, whereas a team building day in Gloucester benefits from activities that hold people's attention for longer and get groups working together. It's worth discussing what success looks like for you, so the games match the goal.

On logistics, most of our games run from a standard mains socket and need a couple of metres of clear floor space, though larger items like simulators need more. If your venue has unusual access, limited power or a tight setup window, flag it early and we'll plan around it. And if you'd like games branded with your logo, mention it at the quoting stage, as the in-house design and print work needs a little lead time.
