How to plan a family fun day

Many organisations understand why family fun days make great corporate events but can be put off by the planning. This guide will take you through the planning, step by step, to make your next event a huge success.

Pick a theme for your fun day

Themed events have risen in popularity over recent years and fun days are no exception. The scope for themes is vast and where guest will include families of all age groups, it’s easy to find the perfect theme that all ages will enjoy. Popular themes include:

• All The Fun Of The Fair – from grandparents to toddlers, everyone enjoys a good, old fashioned fun fair, packed full of atmosphere, exciting things to do and fabulous food.
• Sports Day – go all out old school and add a competitive edge to the day, packed full of sports activities and games. Families can play as a team or, if they’re brave enough, pit generation against generation!
• It’s A Knockout – just as much fun as the Sports Day theme, an It’s A Knockout fun day features lots of inflatable games that everyone can enjoy. Add a competitive edge if you wish, or simply let everyone join in as they want.

Pick the activities to match your theme

Once your theme has been set, it’s time to choose the perfect activities for your guests.

• All The Fun Of The Fair – who doesn’t love an old fashioned fairground? Whether you go for a traditional coconut shy or let little ones try their hand at hook a duck, there’s nothing quite like a collection of fairground stalls.
• Sports Day – be limited only by your imagination! From football activities including a football target shoot out to more genteel sports such as crazy golf and mini archery, a sports day themed fun day can be enjoyed by all the family.
• It’s A Knockout – pack your event venue full of inflatable fun, with sumo suits, a climbing wall and even zorbs, and throw it back to the 90s with some Gladiators fun.

Choose the food and drink for your fun day

Of course, by the time your guests have enjoyed all the activities on offer, they will be in need of some well deserved refreshments. Today, there are food options available to suit every  event theme, from mouthwatering fun foods people can enjoy while wandering around the funfair attractions, to street food and a traditional BBQ. Or why not offer a little bit of everything?
