From Field to Fun Day!How to Host an Unforgettable Outdoor Fun Day
Don’t Settle for a Field and a Few Deckchairs
An open field might seem like just a blank space but with a bit of imagination (and all the right kit), it can become the perfect space for a fun filled, unforgettable event. Whether you’re planning a corporate summer celebration, a family function, or a community get together, that simple patch of grass has serious potential.
At Party Time Events UK, we specialise in transforming outdoor spaces into enjoyable events where everyone involved has a good time. From giant inflatables to relaxed seating areas and games for all ages, we help create experiences that feel more like a festival than a standard fun day.
Want to hear the best part? You don’t need to start with much. With the right layout, entertainment, and a bit of expert support, you can turn even the simplest setting into something exciting. We’ve done it for businesses, councils, and schools across the UK.
The steps below will talk you through throwing on the best fun day on that patch of grass. We can help turn your field into something brilliant, where every guest has something to enjoy.
Know Your Audience, Set Your Vibe
Before you start picking out inflatables or booking food options, take a moment to think about who your event is actually for. Are you planning a corporate team day to boost morale? A family friendly celebration during the school holidays? Or maybe a community event with a real mix of ages and energy levels?
We’re here to help you strike that perfect balance. We’ll work with you to understand the vibe you’re aiming for and suggest the right mix of activities to match.
Plan Your Zones Like a Pro
One of the easiest ways to level up your event is to give your field a bit of structure. Instead of scattering activities randomly, think about creating clearly defined zones. This helps with the flow, it keeps people engaged for longer and makes the whole day run smoother and feel better thought out.
Start with your Main Activity Zone where all the action happens. Think huge inflatables and competitive games that get people laughing, moving and joining in.
Next, balance the energy with a Chill Out Zone by giving people a space to relax. Think seating and shade options so people have the option to take a break between activities, this is especially important for mixed aged groups.
Your Food & Drink Zone is essential. Whether it’s a hot dog stall, a nice cold milkshake or a doughnut from the doughnut wall, keep it central and accessible so everyone can stop and enjoy.
Finally, if families are on the guest list, include a dedicated Kids Zone. Give parents a welcome rest and plan activities to keep the little ones happy.
With a clear layout, your event won’t just look more impressive, it'll run a lot easier too.
Add the Wow Factor with Statement Activities
To really impress from the get go, make your Main Activity Zone the most unforgettable part of the day. The easiest way to make this zone a show stopper is by booking a package, to make sure all your bases are covered. We’ve got plenty of packages for you to choose from.
Our popular Fun Fair Games Package gives your guests a blast from the past with traditional funfair games. Turn that patch of grass into a tropical oasis with our Hawaiian Beach Themed Party Package and let your guest catch some waves on our surf simulator.

Don’t Forget the Details (That Make All the Difference)
It’s easy to focus on the big, exciting parts of your event like the inflatables, the games, the food but it’s the little details that really bring everything together and make your event feel seamless.
Keep the flow of your event in mind, make sure you add clear signage and simple instructions so guests know where to go and how things work.
Stay focussed on the vibes too, think about a music system to help build the atmosphere of the day.
Comfort is key. Provide seating, shade, and shelter. This is key especially on hot (or unpredictable) summer days, it can really make all the difference.
And of course, don’t forget about safety. Make sure your event space is easy to navigate, consider things like first aid access and clear visible exits to the event. A little planning goes a long way in making sure everyone feels comfortable, included, and looked after at your event.
Make Your Event One to Remember
Turning a simple field into a fun filled day doesn’t need to be overwhelming. It really just takes a bit of planning, the right setup, and some expert guidance along the way. We’ve got everything you need to bring your vision to life!
