Thinking about adding lawn games to your event? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often.

Last updated: September 2026

What types of lawn games are available to hire from Fun4Guests?

Fun4Guests offers a range of giant garden games for hire including Giant Jenga, Giant Four in a Row, Giant Skittles, Giant Dominoes, Croquet, Space Hopper Races, and Limbo. For something a little more competitive, table tennis hire and crazy golf hire are also available — both work brilliantly as centrepiece attractions at outdoor events.

Are the lawn games suitable for all ages and abilities?

Lawn games from Fun4Guests are designed to work across a wide age range. Giant Jenga, Skittles, and Four in a Row are straightforward enough for older children to enjoy alongside adults, while Croquet and crazy golf reward a little more patience and skill. Because none of the games require significant physical fitness or prior experience, they're genuinely inclusive — ideal when your guest list spans grandparents and grandchildren alike.

How much space do I need in my garden or venue to set up lawn games?

Space requirements vary by game, but as a rough guide: Giant Jenga needs a clear area of roughly 2 m × 2 m, while a full crazy golf course typically requires at least 10 m × 5 m depending on the number of holes. Table tennis needs approximately 7 m × 4 m including playing space. When you enquire, share your venue dimensions and Fun4Guests can advise which combination of games fits comfortably without crowding.

Can lawn games be used indoors as well as outdoors?

Most of the giant garden games work equally well indoors, provided the ceiling height and floor space are sufficient — sports halls, marquees, and large function rooms are all fair game. The crazy golf hire range is specifically designed to be modular and weatherproof, making it just as at home inside a venue as on a lawn. Always check ceiling clearance for Giant Jenga, which can reach over 1.5 m when stacked.

How many guests can be kept entertained with a lawn games hire package?

A well-chosen selection of lawn games can comfortably entertain 50–150 guests, because the games run continuously and guests rotate in and out at their own pace. Hiring multiple games simultaneously — say, Giant Skittles, Four in a Row, and crazy golf together — creates natural activity zones that prevent bottlenecks. For very large events of 200+ guests, adding a high-throughput attraction like table tennis helps keep energy levels up across the whole crowd.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my event?

Bad weather is the eternal risk with outdoor events in the UK, so it's worth having a plan. The giant garden games are robust and can handle light rain without damage. If conditions are severe, most of the games can be moved indoors or under a marquee. The crazy golf range is built with weatherproofing in mind, so a bit of drizzle won't stop play. Discuss a wet-weather contingency with your venue before the event so the games can be repositioned quickly if needed.

How far in advance do I need to book lawn game hire for my event?

Availability depends on the time of year and how many events are running concurrently. Summer weekends — especially from May to September — get booked up quickly, so enquiring 3–6 months ahead is sensible for weddings and large parties. Corporate events and weekday bookings often have more flexibility. Earlier is always better: securing your date promptly means you get first choice of the full games range rather than working around what's left.

Do Fun4Guests deliver, set up, and collect the lawn games, or is it self-collection?

Fun4Guests delivers, sets up, and collects the games — you don't need a van or a toolkit. The team brings everything to your venue, ensures it's all properly assembled and positioned, and returns to collect it after the event. This full-service approach means you can focus on hosting rather than logistics. Delivery is available across the UK; just confirm your postcode when you enquire so any travel costs can be factored in.

Are the lawn games safe for young children to use?

The giant garden games are made from solid, smooth-finished wood with no sharp edges, and they're built to be handled enthusiastically by guests of all sizes. That said, Giant Jenga towers can topple, so younger children should always be supervised by an adult during play. Games like Giant Skittles and Four in a Row are particularly well suited to younger players. If your event has a significant number of small children, mention this when booking and Fun4Guests can advise on the safest and most age-appropriate choices.

Can I hire lawn games for a corporate event or team-building day?

Lawn games are a popular choice for corporate fun days and team-building events — they're competitive without being intimidating, and they get colleagues talking to people they'd never usually approach. A mini crazy golf course works brilliantly as a team challenge, while Giant Jenga and Four in a Row lend themselves to informal tournament formats. Adding a photo attraction alongside the games gives guests a memorable keepsake and reinforces brand presence at product launches or client hospitality days.

What games can you play at a fundraiser?

Fundraisers work best with games that are easy to charge per go and quick to explain to strangers. Giant Skittles, crazy golf holes, and Limbo all lend themselves to a pay-to-play or sponsored-round format. Croquet works well as a timed challenge where guests pay to beat a target score. Combining a few lawn games with a kissing booth or face-in-the-hole boards creates multiple revenue touchpoints across a fête or garden party fundraiser.

What are some garden activities for adults?

Adults tend to warm to garden activities that have a competitive edge or a social hook. Crazy golf is a perennial favourite because it scales neatly from casual to fiercely competitive depending on the crowd. Croquet, Giant Jenga, and table tennis all attract players who enjoy a bit of banter with their leisure. For something more photogenic, a vintage photo wall set up in a garden corner gives guests a reason to gather, laugh, and produce shareable memories without any instruction needed.
