Three balls, every can off the board

Tin Can Alley is the shooting gallery of the row. Numbered tin cans stand in a pyramid on the shelf, you get three balls, and every can has to come off the board to claim the prize. Where the balls land matters more than how hard they are thrown - clip the pyramid low and the top cans stay standing, which is how most goes end.

The game runs in its own red flight-case unit - the lid opens to form the backboard, the cans stand in the base, and the whole thing sets up on a trestle table under a striped canopy. The images show it on hard standing, which is worth noting: it does not need grass, so it works on squares, closed roads and indoor venues the bigger stalls cannot reach.

It is also one of the four games inside our Grand Carnival stalls - this is the same game hired as a standalone stall, which is the way to have it when the fair needs one more stall rather than a four-game unit.

Tin Can Alley at Your Event

  • The Classic Throw

    Three balls at a pyramid of numbered cans, and all of them off the board to win. Simple rules, honest difficulty, and everyone lines up sure they can do better.

  • Flight-Case Unit

    The game lives in its own red flight case - lid open for the backboard, cans in the base - setting up on a trestle table with nothing to assemble.

  • Any Surface

    No grass needed. The unit works on hard standing, closed roads and town squares as well as a field, and goes indoors for the winter events.

  • Brandable

    Custom graphics can be printed, applied and removed for the hire period - sticker transfers suited to a single hire, so each event gets clean artwork.

  • Staffing Your Way

    The hire price does not include staff. We can add one of our qualified team to run the stall and work up the fairground atmosphere, or your own people can run it.

  • £5m Public Liability

    Five million pounds of public liability insurance as standard, with risk assessments and method statements for your organiser or venue before the event.

What's included

  • The Tin Can Alley flight-case unit with backboard
  • The numbered cans and the three throwing balls
  • A trestle table and the striped canopy
  • Delivery, setup and collection by our own team
  • £5m public liability insurance as standard

Staffing is priced separately from this one - our qualified staff can run the stall for the event if you would rather not put your own people on it. Prizes can be supplied alongside; ask for the current options when you enquire.

Planning the hire

Tell us the event date, postcode, surface and expected numbers, and whether you want our staff running the stall or your own.

Tin Can Alley is priced with the event rather than from a fixed list price, and as a single-stall add-on it prices into a row more cheaply than it hires alone. It sits naturally beside the Coconut Shy and Hoopla, with the Hook-a-Duck holding the other end of the row - or it extends the four games of the Grand Carnival to five.

Your written quote will cover the delivered price, staffing if you want it, and the setup details for the site.

Common Questions

How much does Tin Can Alley hire cost?

It is priced with the event rather than from a fixed list price, and staffing is quoted separately. Send the date, postcode and what else is coming on the day and we will return a delivered quote.

How do you win?

You get three balls, and every can has to come off the board to claim the prize. Where the balls land matters more than how hard they are thrown.

Does it need grass?

No. The flight-case unit works on hard standing, closed roads and town squares as well as grass, and it goes indoors - which is why it turns up at the winter events.

Is it the same game as in the Grand Carnival stalls?

Yes - Tin Can Alley is one of the four games inside our Grand Carnival stalls. This is the standalone hire of the same game, for events that want one more stall rather than the four-game unit.

Is the stall staffed?

Not as standard - the hire price does not include staff. We can add one of our qualified team to run it, or your own people can. Say which you would prefer when you enquire.
