Stall Ideas for School Fairs - Why Inflatables Work
When brainstorming stall ideas for school fairs, many organisers think about tombolas, cake stalls, or raffle tickets. These are great for fundraising, but larger attractions can dramatically increase attendance and dwell time.
Hiring inflatables can:
- Attract families from surrounding areas
- Encourage longer stays at your event
- Increase spending at other stalls
- Provide a central attraction for marketing materials
- Reduce volunteer workload compared to running multiple small stalls
If you’re looking for stall ideas for school fairs that stand out, adding an inflatable can transform your event from a small gathering into a real community highlight. We’re happy to offer guidance on how to run the equipment safely, with optional staffing available for an additional hourly fee.
Supporting Fundraising Without Making It the Focus
While this page isn’t solely about fundraising, many schools choose to use inflatables as part of their PTA initiatives.
We can:
- Offer guidance on how to run ticketed sessions effectively
- Provide full-day hire at a simple, fixed price
- Advice on structuring time slots based on your chosen equipment
- Share practical tips to help PTA volunteers run things smoothly
Our goal is to provide entertainment that enhances your event, not complicates it.
We’re always happy to offer advice on getting the most from your inflatables, including suggestions on ticket pricing and event setup. If you would prefer additional support on the day, staffing can be arranged for an extra charge, subject to availability.
