Looking for something original, energetic, and a little bit wonderfully daft? Hobby Horse Adventures brings screen-free joy to children at all sorts of events — from parties to school days to full-on festival fields.

We run structured, imaginative activities using beautifully made hobby horses, foam jumps, and all the fun of a real pony show (minus the actual ponies). Our team is DBS-checked, first aid trained, safeguarding aware and fully insured — so you can hand over the reins with total confidence.

🎂 Birthday Parties

The perfect way to make your child’s party unforgettable. We transform gardens, halls or playing fields into an arena where kids can trot, jump and show off their moves. We bring the horses, the rider numbers, and the medals — you bring the cake. Hobby Horse Birthday Parties

💍 Weddings & Receptions

Let the kids run, jump and play while the grown-ups enjoy the speeches and canapés. It’s ideal during the quieter bits of the day, and we can tailor the session to fit your timeline and space. See our full wedding entertainment page here.

🏫 School Visits & PE Days

Whether it’s a PE enrichment day, a sports week special or just a fun one-off, hobby horsing is a fantastic way to get children moving. We run inclusive sessions suitable for EYFS up to KS2, and can adapt for SEN settings too. Schools love the mix of structure and silliness — and yes, teachers are welcome to join in.

🎪 Festivals, Fêtes & Big Community Days

We’re a popular fixture at music festivals, village fêtes, community fun days and agricultural shows. Children can burn off energy with jumping games, creative play and even a bit of light-hearted competition if the mood’s right. Parents love us. Event organisers love us. Small children in sparkly wellies *really* love us.

We can set up a free-play arena, host timed challenges, or just let the little ones trot to their hearts’ content. And yes, we’re happy to theme things if your event has a twist.

🏇 Horse Racing Family Days

If you’re running an equestrian event or race day, we offer a fantastic way to include younger visitors. Our hobby horse setup fits perfectly alongside horse trials, country shows, and family days at the races. We give kids a safe, active space — while grown-ups focus on the real track.

📍 Where Do We Cover?

We’re currently based around Leeds, Cheshire and Nottinghamshire — but we’re always growing. If you’re slightly outside our usual area, please get in touch anyway. We look at every booking individually, and if it’s the right fit, we’re more than happy to travel. (Yes, even for places like Glastonbury. Especially Glastonbury.)

We’re also always on the lookout for new crew members in new areas — so if you think your town needs hobby horsing, we’d love to hear from you too.
