Christmas Pudding Shy Hire – A Festive Twist on the Coconut Shy
Our Christmas pudding shy hire puts a festive spin on the classic coconut shy. Instead of coconuts, players aim snowballs at a row of Christmas puddings, all set up in a traditional red and white stall with a friendly operator and 50 prizes.
How the Christmas Pudding Shy Works
Players get five snowballs to knock the Christmas puddings off their stands. Knock down two puddings to win a small prize, or three to win a big prize. It sounds easy, but those puddings are stubborn, which keeps guests coming back for another go.
Festive Fun and Friendly Competition
The pudding shy is brilliant for getting people together. Colleagues, friends and families take turns, cheer each other on and compete for bragging rights, adding laughter and Christmas spirit to your event.
Staffed, Set Up and Ready to Play
Every Christmas pudding shy hire includes a member of our team to run the stall for 4 hours, plus 50 prizes. Our operator explains the rules, resets the puddings and hands out the prizes, keeping the queue moving at around 60 players an hour.
Perfect for Christmas Fairs and Parties
Searching for Christmas fair games or Christmas fair stall ideas? The pudding shy is a favourite at school and PTA Christmas fairs, Christmas markets, shopping centres, Christmas light switch-ons, community events and corporate Christmas parties. It works indoors or outdoors.
