Tombola Drum Hire

Prices from £25.

A proper raffle drum for fetes, fairs and fundraisers

A red metal raffle drum - or tombola drum, if you grew up with village fetes - with a wooden crank handle and a hinged ticket slot. It is 410mm wide by 310mm in diameter, which is large enough to mix several hundred tickets properly without taking over the table.

The drum takes ticket counterfoils, numbered balls or discs, and because it is metal rather than plastic, tickets do not build up static and cling to the sides. You turn the handle, the drum rotates, and you draw from the slot. No power needed - it works in a village hall with no sockets, a marquee in a field, or an exhibition hall at the NEC in Birmingham.

We have been hiring out carnival games and side stalls since 1999. Everything sits in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, five minutes from the M1, and we deliver in our own vehicles. £5 million public liability insurance comes as standard, and we email risk assessments and method statements to your venue before the event.

If you are putting together a fundraising stall or a row of side games, get in touch and we will suggest what tends to work well together.

Common questions

What kind of tickets or items can we use in the drum?

The drum takes ticket counterfoils, numbered balls or discs. Because it is a metal drum rather than plastic, it does not build up static - tickets spin freely and do not cling to the sides, which makes for a fairer draw.

Does the tombola drum need electricity?

No. It is a manual drum with a wooden crank handle. You spin it by hand, which means it will work anywhere, including village halls, outdoor marquees and venues with no mains socket nearby.

How much table space does it need?

The drum itself is 410mm wide by 310mm in diameter, so it sits comfortably on a standard table with room left for prizes, a float and a volunteer to run the draw.
