Planning a birthday party, school fun day
or family celebration?
One of the first questions you'll
probably ask is:

bouncy castles to large inflatable
obstacle courses, with equipment
suitable for birthday parties,
schools and organised events.

How Much Is a Children's Bouncy Castle?
Our smaller children's bouncy
castles start from £99,
with larger themed designs
available at different prices.
Traditional bouncy castles are
a popular option for children's
birthday parties because they
provide a simple, enjoyable
activity without needing
multiple attractions.
We offer colourful party themes,
jungle designs, dinosaur castles
and other options.
If you're hiring for a garden,
it's important to choose a
castle that fits the available
space with the required
safety clearance.

children's bouncy castles
to compare available designs.
Are Bouncy Castles With Slides More Expensive?
A castle and slide combination
provides two activities in
a single inflatable.
Our combination inflatables
start from £139,
with larger themed models
costing more.
These can offer good value
for children's birthday parties,
particularly when you want
more variety without hiring
two separate inflatables.
The best option depends
on the available space,
the ages of the children
and the size of your party.
Explore our
castle and slide combination range.
How Much Does Disco Dome Hire Cost?
Disco domes are an exciting
alternative to a traditional
bouncy castle.
Our disco dome hire starts
from £149.
These enclosed inflatables
combine bouncing with music
and lighting, making them
popular for children's parties.
Before booking, check
the available space
and electricity requirements.
You can explore our
disco dome hire range
for available options.
How Much Does Inflatable Obstacle Course Hire Cost?
Inflatable obstacle courses
are generally more expensive
than standard children's castles
because they're larger
and often require additional
power and installation space.
Our current range includes:
- 30ft Fun Run: £179
- 40ft Endurance: £299
- 80ft Endurance: £500
- 100ft Toxic Drop: £649
- 120ft U-Turn: £799
These are starting equipment
hire prices before any
applicable additional charges.
Larger obstacle courses
are especially popular for
school fun days, festivals,
community events and
organised celebrations.

What Additional Costs Should You Consider?
Delivery Charges
Delivery costs depend on your
postcode and the equipment
being hired.
We confirm any applicable
delivery charges before booking.
Generators & Power
Most inflatable equipment
requires a continuous
electricity supply.
Generators may be required
for event fields and locations
without suitable power.
Late Collection
Standard garden collections
normally begin from 5pm.
Later collections may
be arranged for an additional fee.
Event Attendants
Some larger school,
corporate and public events
may require attendants
to supervise the equipment.
Staffing can be quoted
as part of the event package.
Which Inflatable Offers the Best Value?
The cheapest option isn't always
the best choice for every party.
Think about the type of event,
the ages of the children
and the number of guests.
- Small birthday party: A traditional children's castle may be sufficient.
- Birthday with more activities: A castle and slide combo can provide extra variety.
- Music-themed celebration: A disco dome combines bouncing with party music.
- School fun day: An obstacle course can provide a competitive activity.
- Large organised event: Several different attractions may suit a wider audience.
It's also important to consider
space, access, supervision
and electricity before choosing.
