We understand you might have some questions so here are some that we hear at almost every event.
Our team will arrive approximately 15 minutes before our scheduled start time to set up. You'll point us to your electrical outlet, water hose connection, and designated area for the foam party. Our team will set up the foam machine and speaker for music. We will turn on the foam machine and music at our scheduled start time. Your guests are now free to enter the foam and start partying!
We can operate in anything from standard backyards to large open event spaces. For the best experience, we generally recommend an open area of around 5 x 5 Meters or larger, with access to power and water nearby. If you’re unsure whether your space will work, send us a photo and we’ll help assess it.
Yes, our foam parties will work on grass, concrete, or pavement as long as the area is flat and free of obstructions.
We require access to a standard 240v electrical outlet and water hose connection within 30 metres of our setup.
The foam disappears on its own within a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can dissolve the foam with water.
We accept all major credit cards, afterpay, zip pay, direct deposit and cash.
Yes we cater for adult events including birthdays, private parties, corporate functions, community days and music festivals. Fully hosted, high energy, and tailored to your event.
Yes, we use a high-quality, hypoallergenic foam solution specifically made for foam parties and safe for skin, eyes and clothing. The solution is very similar to ingredients commonly found in soaps and bubble baths, but heavily diluted with water during use. If foam gets into sensitive areas like the eyes or mouth, simply rinse with fresh water and any mild irritation should clear quickly. Our foam is non-toxic, biodegradable and used safely at events of all sizes across Australia.
Foam parties are perfect for all ages from young kids right through to teens and adults. We tailor the music, energy and overall experience to suit the type of event, whether it’s a backyard birthday, school event, festival or large scale party. No matter the age group, the foam always brings the crowd together.
Stay & Play Foam Parties is proudly based in Brisbane, however we service events across the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, and greater South East Queensland. We also travel to regional areas for larger school, community, council, and corporate events. Simply send us your event location and details, and our team will be happy to discuss travel options for your event.
No, our foam is designed to be safe for clothing, grass and most outdoor surfaces. All our solutions are biodegradable and water-based, meaning it naturally breaks down over time. We still recommend wearing clothes suitable for getting wet, just like you would at a pool party or water activity.
Absolutely. Night foam parties are one of the most exciting setups we offer, especially when combined with lighting effects or UV glow foam. They’re perfect for teens, adults, festivals and larger events looking for a high-energy atmosphere after dark.
We have a weather policy in place for all events. Foam parties will generally continue through light rain and normal weather conditions, with the event only being paused or stopped if conditions become unsafe due to severe weather, heavy rain or strong winds. We always monitor conditions closely and work with customers to make sure everyone stays safe while still having an amazing experience.
Not at all. Our foam is mostly made up of water and naturally breaks down over time, while our equipment is designed to keep the foam controlled within the party area as much as possible. Once the event finishes, the remaining foam quickly dissolves and the area returns to normal shortly after, especially on grass and outdoor surfaces.
We recommend comfortable clothes that can get wet, along with suitable footwear for running around and being active. Swimwear, activewear and lightweight clothing all work great. While the foam is safe for skin and eyes, we also recommend wearing goggles where possible to help prevent foam from getting into sensitive areas during high-energy play.
Absolutely! This is actually one of the most popular ways schools book with us. Running separate sessions allows every year group to have their own dedicated experience rather than trying to manage the entire school at once. We work with you to plan a schedule that fits your school day, your bell times, and your available space. Just let us know your student numbers and year group breakdown and we'll map it all out with you.
Yes both work perfectly. We've set up on grass ovals, concrete courts, undercover areas and everything in between across schools all over Southeast Queensland. The main things we need are a flat open area, access to a standard 240v power outlet, and a water hose connection within 50 metres of the setup area. If you're unsure whether your space will work, send us a photo and we'll give you a straight answer.
We've successfully run events for groups ranging from small classrooms all the way through to several hundred students at once. For the best experience we generally recommend splitting larger schools into separate sessions so every student gets maximum time in the foam and the energy stays absolutely electric throughout. Tell us your total student numbers and we'll recommend the best format for your school specifically.
Yes, Stay and Play holds current public liability insurance.This is something we take seriously and we're happy to provide documentation directly to your school administration or business manager upon request. We understand schools have specific requirements around this and we make sure everything is in order well before the event date.
Yes. Every member of our team who works at school events holds a current Working With Children check. We know this is a non-negotiable for any school environment and we make sure our documentation is current, verified, and available to share with your school upon request. You should never have to chase us for this we make it part of our standard school booking process.
Yes we've worked with schools and OHSC services right across Southeast Queensland and have navigated the approval process many times. We understand that schools have specific requirements around insurance, safety, staff screening, and risk management, and we've worked through all of it before. If your school has a specific approval process or requires particular documentation, just let us know early and we'll make sure everything is prepared and ready to go.
Absolutely and this is actually one of the most common ways schools come to us. Tell us your approximate student numbers and your available budget per head and we'll work backwards from there to put together the best possible experience within that range. We'd rather have an honest conversation about what works for your school than have budget be the reason your students miss out on something incredible.
Schools that book with us regularly are definitely looked after. We value those ongoing relationships and we make sure that loyalty is reflected when it comes to pricing. If you're thinking about booking more than once across the year or locking in a recurring event, reach out and have that conversation with us directly we'll make sure we put something together that works for everyone.
We bring absolutely everything needed to run the event: foam machine, solution, speaker, music and all hosting equipment. The only things we need from your school are access to a standard 240v power outlet and a water hose connection within 50 metres of the setup area. That's it. No scrambling to source anything, no surprise requests on the day just show us where the power and water are and we take it from there.
Based on everything we've seen across hundreds of events, no. Our foam solution is water-based and biodegradable, which means it breaks down naturally and disperses without leaving any lasting impact on grass or hard surfaces. On grass ovals we've consistently seen the area return completely to normal within a couple of hours. On concrete and hard courts the foam dissolves quickly with water or can simply be blown away apon request. We've never had a school come back to us with damage concerns and we're confident in saying your grounds will be absolutely fine.
No and this is one of the questions we hear most often from schools. Our foam solution is water-based and completely free of dyes or staining agents, so it washes out of clothing easily with a normal cycle. We always recommend students wear clothes suitable for getting wet on the day rather than their school uniform, but based on what we've consistently seen across hundreds of events, even if a uniform does get foamy it comes out in the wash without any issue.
