Does my venue have to have any special requirements?
  • The ground must be reasonably level.
  • To comply with health and safety legislation and for the safety of children we do not hire our castles if the location is on hard standing outside as we are unable to secure it for windy conditions. (such as concrete, tarmac, paving slabs).
  • We must also have at least a 'doors width' access from the vehicle drop off point to the location where the castle is to be positioned.
  • There must be a suitable mains power point within 25 metres of the rear of the bouncy castle. (If the castle location is more than 25 metres from the power point, we may be able to provide an addition extension lead. Please ask when booking the castle)
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.

Do you have insurance?

We have £5 million public liability insurance. A copy of our policy is available for inspection if requested. The hirer of the equipment is responsible for adult (18 or over) supervision of the children at all times. It is suggested that hirers consider taking out insurance to cover themselves.

We will arrive at the agreed time and check that the location is suitable. We will install the bouncy castle ourselves and confirm it is safe to use. 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.

How safe are your bouncy castles?

Our bouncy castles are manufactured to the highest safety standard by leading British Manufacturers and comply with health and safety legislation. Our castles are tested by a competent 'register of play inspector international' (RPii) registered person when new and subsequently annually. Our safety test certificates are available for inspection. The electrical equipment is 'PAT' tested.
