misty3891 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hiya, I'm organising a private event to raise money for charity by hosting a casino party. I'm having trouble finding casino equipment for hire in the area that isn't extortionately over-priced! Does anyone have any ideas? Also interested in chocolate fountain hire, topiary/plant hire if anyone has any good suppliers they know of they could recommend? All help greatly appreciated. Thanks, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misty3891 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi there, It will be raising funds for the Home Farm Trust (hft.org.uk) which is a national charity supporting people with learning difficulties and special needs. They do so much fantastic work - my brother uses their respite and day centre services. Thanks, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, M If your thinking of putting something like this on expect to pay alot for all those services the casino for a start is alot of money any. Because of the price of the tables and man power to use them ( the green cloth on a table can go anywhere from 400-600 pounds if someone spills a drink on them ) maybe set your sites a little lower unless you can get someone to back you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misty3891 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Cavellsuk, I've hosted this sort of thing before in the South and it barely cost a penny as I had equipment donated and my family and friends worked as the croupiers so I'm not after a full service from a company, just access to equipment (roulette wheel, the felt table lays etc) as manpwer etc is already sorted.

Bago Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Have u tried contacting the actual casinos and see if they can help u out with either hiring/loaning of their equipment, or hiring out a function room ? I know where u can get a cheap chocolate fountain. It's only around 20-25 quid from TK Maxx at the moment. As for topiaries, what about approaching a friendly florist for them on loan ? Or any other garden centres or the likes of B&Q ? Of course, u need to make it worth their while, and maybe advertise their names or whatever on the actual tickets or something.
