The Christmas Pudding Shy is a festive twist on the classic coconut shy, where players throw balls to knock Christmas puddings from their podiums. It suits Christmas parties, markets and winter fairs, and it is fun for adults and children. Hire starts from £495, and we supply it throughout the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow.
Knocking Christmas Puddings From Their Podiums
Players take their balls and aim for the puddings. If they knock one down, they win a prize. It works in just the same way as a coconut shy, so guests will understand it immediately, but the seasonal theme makes it feel new. If you are curious about the original game, read our guide on why the coconut shy has its name.
Choosing Prizes for Your Pudding Shy
You can decide what prizes your players receive, or talk to our team and we can help you to source them. Small festive treats are an easy choice for a family event, while branded gifts could suit an office party. We can offer advice based on your guest numbers and the type of event you are planning.
A Festive Stall for Christmas Parties and Markets
- Office parties: a fun activity to get colleagues mingling at a Christmas party.
- Christmas markets: a traditional game that sits well alongside Christmas market stalls.
- School Christmas fairs: a simple game for children and parents.
- Winter fun days: a seasonal change from the usual fairground stalls.
Pairing the Pudding Shy With Other Christmas Games
A few stalls together make a much bigger impression than a single one. Our Santa in the Chimney and Hook a Christmas Duck are good partners. You can see more in our Christmas funfair stalls range, or read our ideas for Christmas funfair rides if you are planning something larger.
Christmas Pudding Shy Hire Prices
Christmas Pudding Shy hire starts from £495. Your final quote depends on the date, location and hire length, and it includes delivery, set-up and collection. We make sure the stall is clean and in good condition when it arrives at your venue.
Placing the Pudding Shy at Your Christmas Event
The stall works indoors on a hard surface, outdoors on grass or outdoors on hard ground. Tell us about your space and access, and we will confirm what is needed. Place it near a busy walkway or a bar, so that guests pass it more than once. Leave clear space at the front for players, as well as a safe area behind the stall where balls can land.
