Winter Events Made Simple with Awesome Hire
As winter continues, the events calendar remains busy. From cultural celebrations and school activities to corporate gatherings and public winter festivals, the months following the New Year offer plenty of opportunities to bring people together. At Awesome Hire, we support organisers across the UK with interactive games and event entertainment that works well in colder months, indoor venues, and high-footfall winter settings.
Whether you are planning a school celebration, a corporate winter event, a shopping centre activation, or a community festival, our equipment is designed to keep people engaged without relying on good weather.
Chinese New Year Events and Cultural Celebrations
With Chinese New Year taking place in late January and early February, many towns, schools, and community organisations host cultural celebrations, fairs, and themed activity days. These events often need interactive entertainment that works indoors and appeals to a wide age range.
Reaction games such as Batak Lite Hire and Strike A Light Game are popular choices for Chinese New Year events because they are quick to play, easy to supervise, and suitable for all ages. Prize-based games like Claw Machine, Plinko Game, and Custom Spin The Wheel also work well, particularly when prizes or tokens are themed to match the celebration.
We regularly support cultural events in London, Surrey, Essex, Manchester, and West Yorkshire, delivering equipment that fits community halls, schools, and public venues.
School Events, Activity Days, and End-of-Term Celebrations
Winter is a busy period for schools, with enrichment days, reward events, and indoor activity sessions replacing outdoor sports. Awesome Hire provides equipment that fits school halls and sports centres, offering structured, supervised fun that keeps pupils active.
Games such as Fast Feet, Catch It Reaction Ring, and Digital Whack A Mole are well suited to school environments due to their short play cycles and simple rules. For older pupils, competitive challenges like Batak Pro Game Hire add an extra level of engagement.
Table games including Foosball Table and Ping Pong Table Hire are also popular during winter school events, as they allow students to take turns and socialise indoors.
We support school events across Lancashire, West Midlands, East Sussex, and Somerset, with delivery, setup, and collection included.
Valentine’s Events and Seasonal Promotions
Valentine’s Day brings a different type of winter event, particularly for shopping centres, hospitality venues, and workplaces running themed activities or promotions. Interactive games can help create light-hearted engagement without dominating the space.
Compact prize and reaction games such as Plinko Game, Custom Branded Crack The Code Safe Cracker, and Catch It Reaction Ring work well for Valentine’s events. These can be adapted for prize draws, giveaways, or charity fundraising, while keeping visitor flow steady.
For more visual appeal, the Ballnado Grabber and Cash Grabber are often used in retail and workplace settings, offering a simple, familiar activity that encourages participation.
Winter Festivals and Community Events
Winter festivals, indoor fairs, and community celebrations continue throughout January and February. These events often take place in leisure centres, town halls, shopping centres, and covered public spaces, where weather-resistant entertainment is essential.
Football-themed activities such as Footdarts and Inflatable Penalty Shootout are popular at family-friendly winter festivals, while social games like Subsoccer 3 Football Game offer a compact option for tighter indoor spaces.
Prize-based attractions including Claw Machine, Prize Crane Claw Machine, and Custom Spin The Wheel provide steady engagement throughout the day and are easy to manage in busy environments.
Corporate Winter Events and Staff Activities
Not all winter events are public-facing. Many businesses use the quieter period after Christmas for staff engagement, wellbeing days, or internal celebrations. Awesome Hire supplies interactive games that suit offices, conference venues, and hotel meeting spaces.
Reaction games like Batak Lite Hire and Strike A Light Game are commonly used for friendly competitions and team challenges, while table games such as Foosball Table and Ping Pong Table Hire help create informal social areas.
For workplaces running prize draws or charity fundraising, Custom Spin The Wheel and Custom Branded Crack The Code Safe Cracker provide a structured and engaging format.

All hires include delivery, setup, and collection, with advice available on suitable games for indoor venues, school halls, shopping centres, and community spaces.
