Cheshire Police Partner with The Fun Experts for Summer Community Events

For the first time since COVID, this August, The Fun Experts had the pleasure of working with Cheshire Police across three separate engagement events known as VPX held throughout the month. These free events took place on the 6th, 20th, and 27th of August, bringing local communities together in Warrington. The aims here were fun, fitness, and connection.

Cheshire Police approached The Fun Experts with the goal of creating inclusive, youth friendly events that would foster positive and trusting relationships between the police force and the children. With a focus on outdoor entertainment and interactive activities, our team provided a selection of our most popular inflatable equipment to help them achieve exactly that.

What did they hire?

Across the three events, The Fun Experts delivered and managed the following equipment:

• Inflatable Assault Course
  A high energy attraction perfect for all ages, the inflatable assault course brought out competitive spirits and gave children and adults a fun way to get active. With its vibrant colours and safe, soft surfaces, it became a focal point at each event.

• Wipeout Inflatable Challenge
  This crowd favourite created plenty of laughter and excitement. The Wipeout Challenge encouraged friendly competition and drew in large groups of spectators, keeping the energy levels high throughout the day.

• Bouncy Castle
  No community event is complete without a classic bouncy castle. Always popular with younger guests, the bouncy castle gave children a safe and enjoyable space to burn off energy while parents and carers engaged with event organisers and police staff.

Supporting Community Engagement

The events were for keeping children occupied and active during the summer holidays. Each event was well attended, with families and local kids joining in to enjoy the fun and engage in conversations with their police force. The inflatables served as an effective icebreaker, making it easier for officers to connect with attendees in a relaxed and informal setting.

From set up to pack down, The Fun Experts managed all logistics, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for both organisers and guests. Our team was on site at each event to oversee the equipment, assist participants, and maintain a secure environment.

The result

Cheshire Police were extremely pleased with the outcome of each event and the role The Fun Experts played in helping to create a positive, inclusive atmosphere. The mix of engaging inflatables brought energy and vibrancy to each location and encouraged community participation in a truly memorable way.

These events are a great example of how entertainment can be used as a tool to support local children, promote physical activity, and bring people together. A quote from a spokesperson at Cheshire Police said: "Thank you for all your efforts, VPX has been a huge success thanks to everyone's hard graft. We've used your company for 3 of our VPX events in Warrington and hired a bouncy castle, an assault course and Wipeout game. I could not fault the staff who attended, arrived in plenty of time to set up and once onsite everything was run by them with no need for support. The process from original enquiry to end of last day was fantastic and i will be using again.

My experience was even better when I was on hold and bring me sunshine played. It cheered me up. 10/10 service THANK YOU."
