Blue Peter goes football crazy for Sunshine Events

By Bespoke Digital Agency

12 Jun 2015

Sunshine Events has been invited to Media City, Salford, to supply a fun and quirky Human Table Football Inflatable hire to the popular BBC television programme, Blue Peter.

Two teams of five competed in a match like no other, live on television to take on our exhilarating life-sized table football.

Those taking part were strapped to a pole within the large inflatable as they tried to kick the ball past the opposition and it definitely scored points with all the kids involved including the staff who got to be big kids for the day.

The equipment tied together the whole programme which had a special film about the FA Cup Final.

This isn’t the first time Sunshine Events has worked with the BBC. The Preston-based event management and equipment hire company has previously supplied entertainment for the public service broadcaster.

James Sandwell, director of fun at Sunshine Events, said: "All the team are very proud to be working with the BBC and were delighted when Blue Peter asked us to supply equipment for their live TV programme. All those taking part had an absolute blast and that’s what we’re all about, making sure everyone has a fun and memorable time.” As the UK’s leading national supplier and owner of corporate event planning and equipment hire, Sunshine Events have worked with a plethora of big-named brands such as eBay, Facebook, Tesco and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
