Kubb Hire for Weddings & Events: The Strategy of ‘Viking Chess’

Handcrafted wooden Kubb garden game set for hire by Pop Up Party UK.
  • Kubb Hire – £90

For those looking for a game with a bit of ‘warrior’ history and plenty of strategy, Kubb — often called ‘Viking Chess’ — is an essential addition to your event.

While Noughts and Crosses is about quick wits, Kubb is about skill, steady hands, and team spirit. Our Kubb sets are selected for their rugged, rustic appeal, featuring solid wood blocks (the 'Kubbs') and a central ‘King’ that stand sturdy on the turf.

Traditional Viking Fun for Staffordshire & East Midlands Celebrations

The beauty of Kubb lies in its ability to engage large groups. Played in two teams, it’s the perfect choice for garden parties or drinks receptions at venues like The Hall Barns at Prestwold or Coton House Farm, where you want different friendship groups or families to mingle.

The objective is simple but addictive: knock down your opponent’s wooden blocks by throwing batons, and finally, take down the King. Our rustic sets look beautiful scattered across a lush green lawn, evoking a sense of old-world outdoor fun that fits perfectly with a bohemian or country-house wedding theme.

Why Kubb is a standout choice for your package:

  • Authentic & Grounded: Handcrafted from solid wood for a premium, high-end feel.
  • Intensely Social: Designed for team play, making it the ultimate icebreaker.
  • Memorable Gameplay: It’s the game guests will still be talking about (and demanding a rematch of) long after the sun goes down.

Part of Your Bespoke Event Package

To ensure a high-quality and cohesive entertainment area, our Kubb set is available exclusively as an add-on to an existing booking or as part of our Giant Garden Games Hire packages.

From our base in Tonge (DE73), we provide professional delivery and set-up within a one-hour radius, including Burton-on-Trent, Lichfield, Derby, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

FAQs

Kubb is a classic Nordic game where the objective is to knock over wooden blocks (kubbs) by throwing wooden batons. It’s a game of strategy and skill that ends with a final battle to knock over the King!

Kubb is best played outdoors on a flat grass surface. It is a fantastic addition to garden parties, summer weddings, and corporate team-building days on the lawn.

Kubb is brilliant for larger groups because it is played in two teams (up to 6 people per side). This makes it one of the best value games to include in your Giant Garden Games package, as it keeps a dozen guests entertained at the same time.

We provide Kubb hire for events throughout Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Nottinghamshire, with setup and collection included in our 25-mile service radius.
