Why should we book Live 9 Events for our School Event?

With over 30 years of combined experience in the events and entertainment industry, our team understands the unique requirements of school environments. From safeguarding considerations to age-appropriate activities, we ensure every event is delivered to the highest standard — with safety and fun working hand in hand.
Will your team set up and manage our School Event?
Yes our experienced team will manage the full setup and breakdown of your school event. On the day, we arrive on time, install all equipment safely and efficiently, and ensure everything is ready before pupils arrive.
Where required, our trained staff can also supervise activities, helping events run smoothly and allowing teachers and staff to relax and enjoy the day alongside their students.
What surfaces can your equipment be set up on?
Our equipment can be used both indoors and outdoors, depending on the product. Outdoor inflatables are typically set up on grass so they can be safely secured using ground stakes.
For indoor school halls and sports facilities, we use appropriate weighted anchoring such as sandbags to ensure all equipment remains stable and secure. Each product listing provides full details on suitable surfaces.
Do you have insurance, risk assessments and PAT testing?
Yes, we carry £5 million public liability insurance and provide full risk assessments and method statements for school events. All electrical equipment is PAT tested, and our inflatables are tested in line with EN14960 safety standards.
This ensures full peace of mind for schools, staff and parents.
