How to host stress free student events
Planning student events can often feel like a daunting task, from coordinating activities and managing logistics to ensuring everyone has a great time while staying safe. But with the right approach, it doesn’t have to be a stressful experience!
Whether you’re organising a fun day for primary school pupils, a freshers’ fair for university students, or a reward day for college-goers, having a well-thought-out plan and reliable entertainment options can make all the difference.
At Party Time Events UK we specialise in providing tailored entertainment packages that take the stress out of event planning. With years of experience delivering successful events across Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Darlington and the wider North East, we know what it takes to keep students engaged and staff relaxed.
Here’s how we can help you plan a fun, safe and hassle-free event:

1. Choose a package that fits your event
We know that no two student events are the same, which is why we offer tailored packages to suit different age groups, event sizes and budgets. Our packages are designed to keep students entertained while making your planning process easier. Here’s a quick rundown:
-
College Electronic Games Package: Perfect for freshers’ fairs, end-of-term parties and student balls. This indoor-only package features interactive games like Air Hockey, Basketball Challenge, Giant Buzz Wire and the high-speed Danger Light. It’s a great way to keep the energy up while adding a fun, competitive edge to your event.
-
Ultimate College Fun Package: Ideal for big student gatherings, this option is packed with high-energy inflatables and interactive challenges. Students can bounce in the Disco Dome Bouncy Castle, ride the Surf Simulator and tackle the Graffiti-Themed Assault Course. And if you’re feeling competitive, you can see who comes out on top in a round of Velcro Axe Throwing, show off your flexibility in a game of Limbo, or dive into our giant Adult Ball Pool for some nostalgia-fuelled fun.
-
School Fun Day Package 1: Designed for younger pupils (up to 11 years), this budget-friendly package includes the Party Time Assault Course, Multi-Coloured Slide and Disco Bouncy Castle. It’s the perfect choice for summer fun days or smaller school fairs.
-
School Fun Day Package 2: If you’re expecting a bigger crowd, this package ramps up the fun with larger inflatables like the Mega Slide, Grand National Hopper Track and Adult Bouncy Castle. It’s all about reducing wait times and keeping the excitement levels high.
-
School Fun Day Package 3: Perhaps you’re planning something special? This package brings together our most impressive inflatables, including the Mega Adult Assault Course, Inflatable Basketball Shootout and Football Shootout. It’s perfect for older students and big end-of-term celebrations. And for those who still can’t resist a bounce, we’ve included the Party Time Bouncy Castle (sized for adult use). To top it all off, the package also includes our ever-popular Wipeout experience!

2. Prioritise safety without compromising on fun
Keeping students safe is a top priority, and we’ve built our reputation on delivering events that are fun, secure and professionally managed. Here’s how we ensure safety across every event:
-
EN14960 Standard: All inflatables meet strict British safety standards, covering everything from stability to flame retardancy.
-
RPII & PIPA Certified: Every piece of equipment is independently inspected and certified, so you can book with confidence.
-
PAT Testing: All electrical equipment is regularly tested by qualified technicians to ensure it’s safe for use.
-
On-Site Support: Our team members can be on hand throughout the event to manage setup, supervise activities and handle any unexpected hiccups.
3. Keep it simple with full service event management
Planning an event doesn’t have to mean running around on the day trying to keep everything on schedule. When you book a package with us, you get more than just entertainment, you’ll be supported from start to finish.
-
Delivery and setup: We handle all logistics, from transporting equipment to setting up each attraction.
-
On-site team: Our experienced staff can be available to manage the event, keeping everything running smoothly so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Flexible timings: Need extra hours to keep the fun going? We can often extend hire times to suit your schedule.

4. Add extras to make your event unforgettable
Once you’ve locked in your main package, why not add a few extras to elevate the experience? Think retro arcade machines, photo booths or our ever-popular Rodeo Bull. These little touches can transform a good event into a great one, giving students more ways to enjoy themselves and creating plenty of Instagram worthy moments!
