The stall everyone already knows how to play

Hook-a-duck is about as traditional as fairground games get. The ducks sit along the game board, you're handed a rod with a hook on the end, and you hook one out. There's a prize every time, so nobody walks away with nothing.

Ours runs as a dry stall - the ducks sit on the board in their flight-case unit rather than floating in a trough, so there's no water to fill on site and nothing to go wrong with it. It sets up under our red and white striped gazebo, which gives the stall its fairground look wherever it stands, indoors or out.

One of our team sets it up, runs it for around four hours and packs it down. The hire includes 25 prizes - sweets and lollipops as standard, with the option to upgrade the swag - and for a busy event we can bring extra prizes along at additional cost so the shelf doesn't run dry halfway through the afternoon.

It's the stall we would put first in a row. Set it beside the Grand Carnival stalls and you've the start of a proper carnival row, with the rides - the Dodgems, the Chair-O-Planes - holding the other end of the fair.

Planning the hire

Tell us the event date, postcode, expected numbers and whether it's indoors or out, and we'll check the practical details before quoting.

Hire starts at £495. Delivery charges and minimum order values can apply depending on location, and a row of stalls on one delivery prices together more cheaply than each hiring alone.

It goes out to the jobs this site is about - fetes, school fairs, works family fun days, town-centre weekends and the Christmas markets, where the festive ducks come out. If you're building a full fair, tell us what else you've in mind and we will shape the row.

The festive ducks

For the run-up to Christmas the stall changes its ducks. Snowmen in top hats and red scarves, reindeer with antlers, penguins and Santa ducks go on the board, and the stall dresses up to match - we've stood a giant nutcracker alongside it at festive events, which does a fair bit of the talking on its own.

A Christmas market or winter wonderland needs stalls that work in the dark and the cold, and this one does. Mention December when you enquire and the festive set comes out with it.
