Tips For Throwing Great Summer Parties in Ireland

29 June 2016

1. What works for summer?

When the sun shines—and everything goes as planned—what is the best way to enjoy the sun? There is no one size fits all answer to this question. Sports Day has always been popular, or a Summer BBQ, which can always be tailored to suit the audience. For some, a bit of competing against family, friends and workmates is the answer. For example the Olympic themed day is a great solution for healthy competition and teambuilding. Plus its topical every 4 years!

Others like the competition idea—but don’t want the seriousness—so we do something like a Wacky Sports day which includes games that always get people laughing and bonding. It’s a great way to break down barriers and have a bit of fun. Its a no pressure environment where people enjoy the games and each others company.

For others, games seems like a bit too much work—and they just want to socialise. How about an outdoor stage with live music and craft beers—all enjoyed in an unique venue? Yes—a miniature outdoor music festival, are you with me?
 

2. Have a ‘Plan B’

Yes, its summer time and we hope the sun will shine but you have to consider the worst case scenario.. Rain.. and lots of it. That’s why at Junction we always try to source venues with large indoor areas. There are a number of them in every city and we have established relationships with all of them. We know where they are—and what games will suit them. Family Days for example—large inflatables aren’t always going to fit inside (at least not all of them!) so we always have other entertainment like our Puppet Show, Magicians and workshops on standby in case the unthinkable happens. But that’s our job—to think about the unthinkable.

For adult summer parties we have Game Shows, Rock and Roll Bingo and fun Teambuilding events that can be called upon in case we have to move inside. Everything can be organised at a moment notice and at no extra stress to our clients.

Our Junction experience

5.0

We hired junction for our recent company party. We were very happy with how it all went. Junction were great to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. They helped us with the planning and with ideas. The staff were all very pleasant, especially Mark who was out main point of contact. We didn't have to do anything on the day except enjoy ourselves. We would definitely recommend them and will use them again

An Amazing Event organised by Junction

5.0

John Sisk and Son hired Junction Productions to organise our Family BBQ event in June 2023. We had over 800 adults and children attending, but Mark and the team were amazing, they came up with all the ideas for the day. On the day they set up everything with ease, everyone at Sisk and their family had an amazing day. We had jewellery making, puppet show, acrobats, bouncy castles, slides, games, carnival stalls to name a few. They went above and beyond to make our day a success. It was such an amazing day that we have already booked them in for our event next year. Thank you Mark and the Team. We would definitely recommend Junction Productions to anyone looking to organise a large event.

Corporate Summer event - 5 Star!!!!!!!

5.0

Mark and the team did a fantastic job on our recent summer event for approx. 200 ppl. We had daytime activities in the office and this led into the big evening event. Nothing was too much trouble and everything seemed effortless. All we had to do was get the people there! Colleagues have been praising the day saying it was so much fun. Mark and the team could not have been more helpful, supportive and full of great ideas and would recommend them without hesitation.

We hired Junction for a company event & couldn't have been happier. Mark & his team were very well organised & everybody felt well taken care of & at ease from the moment we arrived. Food & drink was excellent & everybody loved the wide variety of games that were well laid out. Participation was encouraged so even the quietest members of staff came out of their shell! Looking forward to working with them again.
