Monster Event Hire

Party Supplies in Havant, Hampshire
Party Supplies in Havant, Hampshire Since 2002, we have proudly operated Monster Event Hire from our commercial premises in Havant. As Joanne and David, we have built our business around delivering dependable event hire services throughout the south of England. Our extensive range includes more than 200 hire items, from bouncy castles, inflatable assault courses and rodeo rides to fairground games, archery equipment, go-karts, photo booths and marquees. We supply equipment for private parties, weddings, corporate occasions, council festivals and school events, ensuring every booking receives the same level of care and professionalism. Every item we provide is owned by us and maintained entirely in-house. Because we never rely on sub-hire companies or third-party agencies, you deal directly with us from your initial enquiry through to the completion of your event. Our team members are all RPII qualified, first-aid trained and enhanced DBS checked, giving you confidence that the people arriving on site are experienced members of our own workforce.

Safety and accountability are central to everything we do. We hold 10 million public liability insurance, including additional cover for licensed venues, and can provide certification whenever requested. Every inflatable is PIPA tagged, inspected annually by our own RPII inspector and supported by PAT-tested electrical equipment. Each inflatable hire includes an anemometer together with a written wind procedure specifying that equipment must not be used once wind speeds reach 24mph. We also prepare risk assessments and method statements for every event. Larger attractions, including our climbing wall, rodeo bull, surf simulator and sweeper, are covered by both ADIPS and PIPA. Dave, our on-site inspector, also carries out PIPA inspections for other hire companies, repairs equipment on site when required and delivers HSE inflatable hire training. Our long-standing relationships with councils, government research organisations, the Royal Navy, schools, colleges and charities reflect the confidence our customers continue to place in us.

Products & Services

Assault Course Hire
read moreWe've been hiring out inflatable assault courses from Havant since 2002, and we've got a proper range of them. They start at 50ft party-themed units and run right up to the 150ft Army Assault Course. The army-style ones are our most popular for bigger events - they're built with a straight run of obstacles, walls to climb, tunnels to crawl through and biff-and-bash pillars, so you can keep a continuous queue moving. One person goes in as soon as the one in front is clear of the first section, which works well for school sports days, community festivals, and corporate team-building where throughput matters.

For smaller sites or younger children we have the 56ft Jungle Assault Course and the 50ft Fun Fair and Party Time units, with the 70ft Green Giant sitting between the small party courses and the big army ones. If you want a head-to-head race, the Boot Camp Challenge is built for two people to compete side by side.
Photo Booth Hire
read moreWe provide a choice of six photo booths, including enclosed cabins, green screen options and our Magic Selfie Mirror, allowing you to select the best fit for your event. Every hire includes unlimited on-the-night printing, professional staff to operate the booth and personalised print layouts. Our booths are designed for indoor venues or marquees, with options for still photographs, video messages and custom branding.
Mobile Climbing Wall Hire
read moreOur climbing wall hire service offers a four-sided, ten-metre climbing tower suitable for a wide range of events. We bring the equipment to your venue, complete the installation efficiently and operate it for the entire booking with our own trained staff. Each climbing line is fitted with an automatic belay system, enabling smooth participation for up to four climbers simultaneously. We include padded crash mats, along with standard risk assessments and method statements, for every hire.
Shooting Games and Archery Hire
read moreOur shooting and archery hire range offers a variety of activities designed to deliver organised, supervised competition for guests. We offer options including Archery, Combat Tag Archery, Laser Shot, Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting, Laser Quest and the Cross Bow Challenge. Each activity has its own space and safety requirements, with some suited to indoor venues and others to outdoor settings. By providing your event information, we will match the activity to your venue and prepare the necessary paperwork when required.

Monster Event Hire were absolutely brilliant, from swift email communication to attentive service on the day. The students (250 of them) had an incredible time and Dave and the girls were outstanding. I would definitely use them again and look forward to developing this over the coming years. Thank you!!

We have worked with Joanne & Dave @ Monsters Event Hire for a number of years and would never use anyone else. They are always available to ask for advice on the latest regulations & Health & Safety guidance with the use of inflatables. I always have my annual testing & repairs conducted by them and any advice on new inflatables I would always go to them. Joanne & Dave will always tell you exactly what is required & never "sugar coat" any recommendations that are needed. Very professional, approachable & friendly.
Highly recommended!

We had the rodeo bull for a family party last week. It was fabulous! Everyone had such a great time. So much laughter! All my queries beforehand were replied to promptly by Joanne, they turned up exactly when they said they would, we had the full 3 hours. Explained everything to us on arrival. I would most definitely use again, would recommend to anybody. They certainly made our party a success!

We have hired from this company several times, we last used them for our families day in August.
All the guests enjoyed the entertainment and the children loved the assault course and sweeper.
The staff were very helpful and professional and the prices for a few hours entertainment are very good.

read moreI run Monster Event Hire with Joanne from Havant since 2002. Joanne handles the bookings; I'm out on the road delivering and setting up units. But the real depth is the inspection side - I'm the on-site RPII inspector, and spend a good chunk of the week testing other hire companies' kit. I keep current on the required standards, with the HSE's ADIPS / PIPA Safety Health Awareness Day just recently. For inspections, you'll likely get me direct.

read moreI run Monster Event Hire with David from Havant since 2002. Where David's out on the road, I'm the one you'll deal with on the phone, the emails and the paperwork - quotes, availability, the booking end of things, so the day runs without you having to chase. Customers say I'm helpful and patient, even when requirements keep moving right up to the day. I'll give you honest advice and won't sugar coat what a job involves. You'll often get me direct when you call.
