Can the castles be used inside? What is the minimum room height?

Bouncy castles can be used inside provided there is sufficient room. Please confirm when booking if your room is of sufficient height for the inflatable you wish to hire. We attach sandbags to the castle to prevent movement whilst in use.

Is there an age limit for using the castles?

We have inflatables for all ages! We can provide booking recommendations based on the age range for your event.

What happens if it rains on the day of the hire?

Castles should not be used if it gets wet or very windy (over 24mph) as they will become dangerous. (We use an anemometer to check the wind speed if necessary). If it is very wet or windy on the day of hire you can cancel or re-schedule. You will not be charged for a cancelled booking due to wet or windy weather. We also reserve the right to cancel due to extreme weather conditions.

We will give advice and instructions to the hirer. Payment is required at the time of delivery. At the end of the event we will collect the bouncy castle.
