Event Hire for Schools, Councils, Clubs and Organised Events

Pro Events & Utility Hire provides event hire for schools, nurseries, councils, clubs, community groups, businesses, event organisers and public events across Northern Ireland. From soft play hire and trampoline hire to practical event support, we help you plan a hire setup around the event type, age range, expected numbers, access and available space.

For fun days, fundraisers and public events

A school fun day, club fundraiser or council event usually needs more planning than a small birthday party. There may be more children attending, longer hire times, public access, tighter setup windows and more people using the equipment throughout the day.

Hire options for organised events

For schools, councils, clubs, community groups and event organisers, the right hire option depends on the age range, space, access, expected numbers and how the event will run.

Before we quote your event hire

Every event is different. A small private party, school fun day and public event can all need a different setup, so we check a few details before confirming what is suitable.

Why larger events are quoted individually

Larger events can involve higher footfall, longer hire periods, public access, more equipment use and tighter setup windows. A council event, school fun day or community festival is not the same as a small private party.



The quote depends on the hire items, event location, setup time, hire duration, access, expected numbers and how the equipment will be used during the event. This keeps the quote tied to the actual work involved.

Usually simpler setups for birthdays, communions, confirmations, garden parties and family events. We still need the date, location, age range, space and access before confirming a quote.

Small private parties

Schools, clubs, councils and community events may involve more people, longer hire periods, public access and more planning. These are quoted based on the details of the event.

Larger organised events

What we need before quoting

The more detail you send, the easier it is to confirm what is suitable. You do not need to have everything final, but these details help us price the hire properly and avoid problems on the day.

Setup, access and safety planning

Before confirming a hire setup, we need to understand the site. Indoor and outdoor events can have different requirements. Surface type, space available, parking, access width and setup times all affect what can be used sensibly.


For schools, councils and public events, it is also useful to know who the site contact is, when access is available and whether the event is open to the public.

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to common questions about OUR ORGANISED EVENT HIRE

  • Can schools book soft play or trampoline hire?

    Yes. Schools, nurseries and PTA groups can enquire about soft play hire, trampoline hire or mixed event hire for fun days, reward activities, nursery events and end-of-term events. We need the event date, location, age range, expected numbers, setup space and timings before confirming what is suitable.

  • Can councils and public event organisers request a quote?

    Yes. Council events, public family activity days, community festivals and larger organised events are quoted individually. These events often involve higher footfall, longer hire times, public access, site restrictions and more planning than private party hire.

  • Can clubs and community groups hire more than one item?

    Yes. Clubs, churches, youth groups, sports clubs and community groups can ask about more than one hire item. A mixed setup can work well for fundraisers, open days, youth events and community fun days with different age groups.

  • What affects the quote for a school, council or community event?

    The quote depends on the hire items, event date, location, expected numbers, hire duration, setup time, collection time, access, surface type and whether the event is private, group-based or open to the public.

  • What details should we send before asking for a quote?

    Send the event date, town or postcode, type of event, expected numbers, age range, hire items needed, indoor or outdoor setup, surface type, access details, parking, setup time, collection time and any site restrictions.
