As the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, autumn and winter events take centre stage in the UK calendar. From Halloween festivals and Bonfire Night celebrations to Christmas markets, corporate parties, and New Year gatherings, there’s no shortage of opportunities for businesses, universities, and councils to connect with audiences.
At Expo Play, we know that keeping guests engaged is at the heart of every successful seasonal event. Our extensive catalogue of branded games – from spooky stalls to festive favourites – offers interactive entertainment that doubles as a powerful promotional tool. Whether you’re looking to boost footfall at a trade stand, add fun to a corporate party, or make your Christmas market stall the highlight of the season, we’ve got you covered.
Why Autumn and Winter Events Need Interactive Entertainment
Seasonal events face a unique challenge: guests often arrive with high expectations and limited time. A branded game provides an instant hook – something eye-catching, fun, and memorable. Instead of relying on leaflets or static displays, interactive entertainment captures attention and keeps visitors engaged longer.
What’s more, games lend themselves perfectly to seasonal themes. A Halloween fairground game wrapped in pumpkins and skulls creates the right atmosphere, while a snow-dusted prize grabber or festive nutcracker hoop game reinforces the Christmas spirit. With custom branding, your logo and message become part of the celebration.
Autumn Events – Spooky Fun and Community Spirit
Halloween Festivals and Corporate Nights
Halloween is the perfect excuse to bring playful fright to your events. Our Halloween Games include the ever-popular Pumpkin Smash, Knock Down The Tomb Stone, and Ring a Skull. Each can be tailored with sponsor logos or corporate branding, blending seasonal theming with professional presentation.
For businesses hosting Halloween parties or networking evenings, competitive options like Strike a Light 2 Players or Batak Pro deliver high-energy fun with a spooky twist.
Bonfire Night and Autumn Fairs
Community bonfire celebrations and autumn markets often take place outdoors, and our Giant Garden Games are a reliable way to entertain crowds of all ages. Imagine families enjoying a branded Giant Connect Four or Giant Jenga while waiting for fireworks. Add in funfair classics like Coconut Shy or Down a Clown, and you’ve got an event that blends tradition with interactive excitement.
Winter Events – Festive Cheer and Corporate Celebrations
Christmas Markets and Public Spaces
Christmas markets are a staple across the UK, and branded games make them even more inviting. Our Christmas Games include crowd-pleasers such as Hoop a Nutcracker, Santa in the Chimney, and Snow Ball Cans. Each can be designed to match the look and feel of your stall while keeping your branding front and centre.
Adding Photo Mosaic Wall technology also turns seasonal moments into digital memories. Guests can take festive photos that combine into a larger branded mosaic, reinforcing your message across social media and beyond.
Corporate Christmas Parties and Networking Events
For corporate gatherings in December, branded games are a fantastic way to bring colleagues together. Social classics like Table Football, Table Tennis, and Pool Table are always a hit. Combine these with competitive Prize Games such as Crack the Safe or Prize Crane Grabber, and you create lasting memories alongside valuable brand exposure.
New Year Launches and January Kick-Offs
The new year is an excellent time to re-energise staff or launch new campaigns. Fast-paced digital experiences like Pixel Play and Tap the App provide a modern, interactive touch. Wrapped with Custom Branding, these games align perfectly with corporate goals, giving 2025 campaigns a dynamic start.
Safe, Branded, and Fully Supported
Every piece of equipment we supply is clean, safe, PAT-tested, and fully insured. Our team delivers, installs, and provides on-site support, ensuring your games run smoothly while you focus on engaging your guests. With Custom Branding, your logos, colours, and key messages are seamlessly integrated into the gameplay, making every interaction a marketing opportunity.
Make This Season Count
Autumn and winter are seasons of celebration, connection, and memory-making. By incorporating branded games into your events, you’re not just adding fun – you’re creating interactive experiences that showcase your brand, draw in audiences, and keep the festive spirit alive.
Whether you’re planning a Halloween festival in October, a Christmas market in December, or a corporate kick-off in January, Expo Play is ready to help you deliver interactive branded entertainment that stands out.
