How to Draw a Simple Site Plan for an Inflatable Pub and Rave Cave

Start with a sketch, not a perfect drawing

You do not need design software to make a useful inflatable pub site plan. A clear sketch can show the garden or outdoor area, the route in and the equipment you want to book. Its purpose is to help the team understand the property and ask the right questions before you reserve a date.

Macclesfield is part of the area described by Visit Cheshire as Cheshire’s Peak District. A town garden and an outlying venue can have very different approaches. Use the actual event address and refer to our Macclesfield pub hire guide alongside your sketch.

Mark the usable installation area

Draw the boundaries of the area you want the equipment to occupy and add measured dimensions. Include features that reduce usable space, such as planting, a garden building, trees, steps or a change in level. Identify the proposed surface rather than describing the whole property as a large garden.

The larger Pub is listed at 7m by 8m, but that is not a complete working-space allowance. Installation, equipment and a connected Rave Cave need to be considered too. Ask the team to confirm the complete requirements for your selected package instead of treating the structure’s footprint as the total site space.

Draw the route from unloading to setup

Put the unloading point on the same plan. Trace the route the equipment must take to the installation area, noting gates, narrow passages, turns and steps. If access is shared, explain who can make it available and whether another vehicle or supplier might obstruct it.

For a Macclesfield venue reached by a lane or shared drive, add clear entrance instructions and a contact for arrival. Avoid guessing whether equipment will fit through a particular gap. Send the measurements and photographs to the team so the route can be assessed for the equipment being hired.

Add the pub, dance space and guest areas

Show your preferred position for the pub entrance, seating and any connected Rave Cave. Then add the space you want to keep for food, outdoor tables and guests moving back to the house or main venue. The aim is a workable event layout, not the maximum amount of equipment on the available surface.

Compare two possible sketches if you are undecided: one with a larger pub and one with a smaller pub plus connected dance area. These are different arrangements. The team can help you understand the setup requirements, while the inclusion lists show how seating and equipment differ between packages.

Note power and venue arrangements

Mark the power location you expect to use and ask the team to confirm the requirements and arrangements for the blowers and party equipment. Do not assume that an available socket or your own cable plan has already been approved for the installation.

For a hired property, add the name of the person responsible for the site, supplier arrival windows and any relevant music conditions. If the event includes other suppliers, note where they will work. A simple shared plan is useful when catering, seating and the pub all need the same access route.

Send the plan with a short checklist

Include the event date, full postcode, package you are considering, measured setup area and access photographs. Flag uncertainties clearly. The sketch supports the team’s assessment; it does not replace confirmation that a particular surface, route or layout is suitable.

• Full event address and entrance instructions.
• Dimensions of the proposed installation area.
• Access route, gates, turns and steps.
• Proposed pub, Rave Cave and guest-space positions.
• Power location and venue contact.
• Delivery and collection restrictions to discuss.

Read the delivery and setup information before you book, and update the sketch if the venue or package changes.
