Entertainment and Events is a Johannesburg based provider of facilitated party entertainment and event hire, known for energetic, structured activities that keep guests engaged while hosts relax. The team supplies all games and equipment, handles setup, facilitation and pack down, and operates across Johannesburg and surrounding suburbs. Only a suitable space is needed, and power for certain formats where required.

A standout offering is the facilitated Nerf party, designed for children from about six years old. The team brings Nerf blasters, a large supply of darts, inflatable bunkers, barriers, targets and safety goggles, then runs a full programme of target shooting, bucket-shot challenges and Nerf r scenarios such as capture the flag, last man standing and team duels. Safety is central, with trained facilitators supervising distances and rules throughout. The ideal area is roughly half a tennis court of grass, although formats can be adapted for different spaces, and there are rainy day back up activities with some options workable in garages, lounges or patios.

For fans of action play, the Army Party creates a mission style experience. Facilitators lead tug of r, relay races, an obstacle course, ter rs using syringes, paintball target shooting, and fitness themed challenges like pushups and sit ups, along with dodgeball and base running. Paintball is run as a controlled target shoot with one child at a time on the marker and a facilitator holding the marker with them, while the rest remain behind a clearly marked safety line. The format is best for children aged six and older and is designed for active outdoor fun in comfortable play clothes.

The Survivor themed party draws inspiration from the TV series and packs 90 minutes with physical challenges. Children rotate through activities such as sack races, base running, tug of r, ter transfer relays, ter rs and survivor relays, plus fire lighting with a flint and paintball target shooting. It is a garden friendly format that encourages teamwork and lively competition, again with full facilitation, equipment supply and attention to safety.

Minute to Win It brings fast paced game show energy to birthdays, schools and corporate team sessions. For up to 30 participants, one facilitator delivers 10 to 15 quick fire challenges using a TV screen and speaker, splitting the group into two teams. This format is highly flexible, fitting indoors or outdoors and working in spaces as compact as a double garage. It requires only a usable area and a nearby power source. Optional add ons include garden games as well as slush, popcorn and candyfloss machines. For larger corporate groups, the session can be scaled with extra facilitators and has been run successfully for very large teams.

Beyond facilitated party formats, Entertainment and Events offers a growing library of garden games and event hire. Giant Jenga is especially popular for weddings, corporate functions and kids parties. Built from 54 wooden blocks in the classic three by three stack, it offers simple, social fun and has inspired many creative builds. The game can be collected from their Northcliff base or delivered across Johannesburg, and instructions can be shared electronically on request. The set can be customised with branded vinyl stickers or a wood brand to feature a company logo, and a Drinking Jenga variation with a shot glass recess is available for adult events.

Clients looking to kit out a celebration can add inflatables and event extras. Options include jumping castles and other inflatable items, an inflatable start and finish banner for fun runs and school sports, a dunk tank, a mechanical bull, smoke machines and bean bags for relaxed seating. Slush, popcorn and candyfloss machines are available to round out a festive spread. Custom branding on selected game equipment makes the range a strong fit for activations, launches and year end functions as well as private celebrations.

From kids birthdays to weddings and corporate days, the team focuses on making entertainment effortless. They bring all required gear, manage timing and flow, and adapt sessions for indoor or covered areas if the weather turns. Postponement options are available up to a short window before the event, subject to booking terms. Travel applies for venues further from their Northcliff base, and they cover Johannesburg and nearby suburbs. With trained facilitators, clear safety measures and structured play, Entertainment and Events keeps energy high and logistics simple for hosts across the city.
