Beach-themed face-in-the-hole board showing a skinny man in striped swimming trunks struggling to carry a much larger woman in a striped bathing suit

Beach-Themed Photo Cut-Out Board - Set 2

Hire from £75.

A Single Board with the Classic Postcard Joke

Set 2 is one 100cm x 180cm face-in-the-hole board rather than the three you get with our main beach-themed cut-out set, and the artwork goes for the old seaside postcard reversal. A skinny man in blue-and-white striped trunks is carrying a much larger woman in his arms across the sand - painted knees buckling, sweat drops flying - while she sits in a red-and-white striped bathing suit and a little sailor-style hat with her legs dangling over his arm. There is a face hole cut into each of their heads, so a pair of guests take both parts at once. Around them the board runs through the full seaside kit: blue sky, turquoise waves, a red sailboat, a red-and-yellow lifeguard flag and a starfish on the sand.

The board stands on its own metal frame, so it holds itself upright on grass or hard standing without anyone steadying it, and there is nothing to plug in. Guests put their faces through the holes, someone takes the photo on a phone, and the next pair steps up. If you have heard it called a peep board, a photo stand-in or a head-through-the-hole board, it is the same thing.

Vintage seaside face-in-the-hole board with a skinny man in blue-and-white striped trunks carrying a much larger woman in a red-and-white striped bathing suit and sailor-style hat, one face hole in each head, against a beach scene with waves, a sailboat and a lifeguard flag

Where This Tends to Work

  • Summer fun days and fêtes

    A self-running photo opportunity that draws people over without needing a member of staff.

  • Corporate family events

    Two face holes mean couples, colleagues or parents and kids can pose together, which gets more shares.

  • Seaside and beach-themed parties

    The retro illustration style fits anything from a village fair to a branded summer activation.

  • Brand activations and exhibitions

    We can customise the board with your own artwork, logo or campaign branding - get in touch and we'll talk through what's possible.

  • Charity fundraisers

    Low-maintenance, generates its own footfall, and guests tend to share the photos on social media.

  • Indoor and outdoor venues

    The freestanding metal frame works on grass, artificial grass and indoor or outdoor hard surfaces.

Delivery and What's Included

The board comes on its own metal stand. We own and stock it in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, five minutes from the M1, and we have been hiring exhibition games and event equipment for over 25 years. We deliver in our own vehicles by our own team - no third-party couriers.

All hires include £5 million public liability insurance as standard, and we can email risk assessments to you or your venue before the event if needed.

Collection from the warehouse is available if you prefer, subject to a deposit and ID. We deliver regularly to venues including NEC Birmingham, Manchester Central and London ExCeL.

If you would rather own the board than hire it, we can supply these to buy in this or any design - mention it when you get in touch.

If you want a fuller seaside set-up, this board pairs well with our three-board beach-themed cut-out set or the Punch and Judy boards. We have supplied these to clients including Amazon alongside our wider seaside hire range.
