What Size Bouncy Castle Do I Need? 📏

One of the biggest questions we get asked is: “Will it fit?” Before booking you should measure width, length and height. Don’t forget to include access paths, trees, fences, washing lines, garden furniture and roof overhangs. Always leave extra safety space around the inflatable. If you’re unsure, simply send us your measurements and we’ll recommend the most suitable inflatable.

Indoor or Outdoor? 🌤️

Indoor Hire

• Weather isn’t a problem
• Flat surfaces
• Great all year round

Perfect venues include village halls, community centres, church halls and sports halls. Always check the ceiling height before booking.

Outdoor Hire
