Armed Forces Day is a widely celebrated national event in the UK, celebrated on the last Saturday of June each year. Armed Forces day was made for people to show their support to those in the armed forces, whether they are currently serving or have served in the past. This also includes service families, veterans and cadets!
We have worked at many Armed Forces Dat Events over the years, and we know what the top products are that families like to engage with. From entertainment and inflatables for the kids to interactive games for the adults, we have something that any member of the family can enjoy. To help make planning your event easier, we have also put together different packages suitable for different event type, take a look below!
No Power? No Problem
These are some of our top products that don’t require a power source, perfect for outdoor events or events at venues with a limited power supply.
Climbing Wall – The Mobile Climbing Wall is ideal for events with no power source as it can run off of the battery that is supplied with it for up to 5 days of hire!
Mobile Cave – The Mobile Caving system is a unique experience that perfectly mimics caving in real life – just without the wet! With stalactites and stalagmites to manoeuvre around and ball pits that represent sumps, there's a lot of fun to be had!
Crazy Golf – Our Crazy Golf course doesn’t require any power and is super easy to play, making it a great activity for your Armed Forces Day Event. We even supply mini pencils and scorecards so that players can keep track of their scores!
Beat the Bleep – You’ll need nerves of steel to take on the Beat the Bleep game! Manoeuvre the wand around the metal track but avoid making contact with it or you'll be greeted with a loud beep!
Adventure Themed Package
If you’re set to have some adrenaline seekers at your event, look no further than our adventure themed package!
Archery – Archery is a fun and exciting adventure-themed activity for families to take part in! Pick between soft or classic archery, our archery instructors are all Archery GB qualified and DBS checked, to help ensure that you receive the best service possible.
Mobile Climbing Wall – Reach new heights on the Mobile Climbing Wall! The Mobile Climbing Wall has the same features that you would find on a static climbing wall, but can be transported by a van. It’s lots of fun for the kids and the adults, as we supply harnesses for everyone.
Mobile Cave – Make your way through 90ft of twists, turns and drops as you go through the mobile cave. The mobile caves are created by us in our workshop in the Cotswolds, each detail has been carefully thought out and executed to create a lifelike caving experience for cavers.
Our Top Summer Picks
Armed Forces Day falls in the middle of summer, so why not celebrate with some summer themed activities?
Pop-Up Beach – Even if you aren’t close to the coast, there is no reason why you can’t enjoy the beach! Our Pop-Up Beach is a fun summery themed addition for your Armed Forces Day Event, and can offer enjoyment for those of all ages. Whether you’re kicking back on a deck chair and soaking up some sun, or building a mega sandcastle, the Pop-Up Beach can accommodate up to 25 children at a time, making it an efficient but enjoyable drop in activity for families.
Mini Golf – Our Crazy Gold course is made up of 9 holes of crazy putting action! Dodge different obstacles and make strategic moves to try and get the elusive hole in 1!
Dino Dig – Uncover different dinosaur fossils in our dino dig activity. Mini palaeontologists will each be given a brush to brush away sand, where they will uncover different fossils in the dino dig trays. This is an excellent drop in activity that can accommodate up to 55 children at a time (across 2 different trays).
Everyone’s a Winner
These are some of our favourite, but slightly more competitive items that are perfect for Armed Forces Day events. Players can play against each other, or for a top score.
Penalty Shootout – We have supersized a classic game of penalty shootout with an inflatable goal! No goalie experience is required – you’ll need to kick the ball into one of the cutouts to score.
Sidestall Games – Roll up, roll up! You can pick froma range of classic fayre games with our Sidestall Game hire such as Hook a Duck, Coconut Shy, Ring Toss and more!
Human Table Football – We’ve all played Table Football before, but what if you were the players on the pitch? Split your teams up into different lines and work together to score against the opposing team! Remember, if one player wants to move left, every player on that line will have to move left – it makes for a unique and fun game of football like no other!
