Step up to the podium and face off in the ultimate test of balance, coordination, and friendly competition with our Gladiator Duel / Joust. Two players at a time take their positions, armed with padded jousting poles, with the aim of knocking their opponent from the inflatable base. It’s fast, funny, and guaranteed to get everyone cheering on from the sidelines.
This inflatable game is always a hit at Sheffield birthday parties, Barnsley community fairs, Doncaster school reward days, and Chesterfield team-building sessions. We also deliver to Wakefield, Retford, Worksop and across South Yorkshire, making it a versatile option for both small gatherings and large-scale events.
The Gladiator Duel / Joust is built to the highest safety standards, with soft inflatable surfaces and sturdy anchor points. It’s cleaned and inspected before each hire, PIPA tested, and comes with safety mats and full setup instructions from our team. We also hold £5 million public liability insurance, available on request, so you can book with complete peace of mind.
At Cream Castles, we know variety is key when planning an event. That’s why we offer a huge range of complementary entertainment. Alongside the Gladiator Duel / Joust, you could add Inflatable Wipeout / Sweeper for more action-packed fun, or go head-to-head with Inflatable Target Shootout. For younger guests, Soft Play such as Farmyard Soft Play (Bronze) and Cars Soft Play (Bronze) makes the perfect pairing. For family-friendly garden games, Giant Connect 4, Giant Jenga, and Giant Snakes & Ladders never fail to bring people together.
Garden hires are delivered between 7am and 12 noon, with collections starting at 5pm. Venue hires benefit from guaranteed delivery and collection times, so your inflatable is ready to go when you need it. Delivery is free within 10 miles of our base, and we regularly serve Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Wakefield, Retford and Worksop. If you require a specific delivery slot between 12 noon and 6pm, simply add this to the notes section when booking online.
Although grass is always preferred, the Gladiator Duel / Joust can be set up on hard standing if required. For safety, inflatables must be drilled and bolted into solid tarmac or concrete, with 163kg anchorage required per point. Our team will advise you on the best way to safely secure your inflatable for the duration of the hire.
Bring the competitive spirit to your next party, fun day, or corporate event with the Gladiator Duel / Joust. Book online today and let the games begin!
Deliveries
When booking the Gladiator Duel / Joust, you’ll be allocated a delivery window the day before your event once our routes are organised. For venue hires such as schools, leisure centres, or community halls, we can guarantee exact delivery and collection times to suit your schedule. Garden hires are normally handled in the morning, but if you need us to arrive later in the day, simply add your request into the booking notes and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
Delivery is included within 10 miles of our base, and we cover popular locations such as Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Worksop, and Chesterfield. If your event is further afield, just provide us with your postcode and we’ll be happy to quote a fair delivery fee.
Health & Safety
The Gladiator Duel / Joust is inspected and cleaned before every hire, ensuring a safe, hygienic, and reliable inflatable for your event. Every inflatable we supply is fully PIPA tested, and our £5 million public liability insurance gives you the reassurance that we meet the highest industry standards.
On arrival, our experienced team will position, inflate, and secure the equipment, walking you through the safe operation of the game before leaving it in your care. Because this is a competitive inflatable, we always highlight the importance of adult supervision when children are playing. We’ll also provide all necessary items including safety mats, blowers, and power cables so everything is ready to go.
Hard Standing
While grass is always preferred for inflatables like the Gladiator Duel / Joust, we can also install it on suitable hard standing such as concrete or smooth tarmac. To comply with health and safety law, the inflatable must be bolted securely to the ground with heavy-duty fixings to provide the correct anchorage. Surfaces like loose gravel or uneven tarmac unfortunately aren’t suitable.
Our setup process is thorough, and we ask that you allow enough time for our team to properly install and anchor the equipment before the event begins. This ensures the Gladiator Duel / Joust is safe, secure, and ready for hours of fun.
