7 days a week, 330 days a year 🙂
How long do I get the equipment for?
Most parties are in the afternoon and so we will deliver and set up your castle between 7 am and 11am (9-12 in winter). We will then come and take the castle away after your party has finished usually from 4pm onwards although pick up time can be arranged to suit it can be no later than 8 pm.(7pm latest in winter)
Later collections are available at an additional charge so please contact us for further information.
2 day hires are also available.
Do you hire overnight?
Yes no problem, it is a set fee of £25 for the total booking so if you hire 2 castles and 2 games all you pay is £25. Just add this on when you go to the bookings page.

If your are looking for a later collection on the second day, then a 2 day charge will occur.

How does the insurance work? Are you fully insured?
We are fully insured for the equipment we hire out, although we cannot be held responsible for how your guests behave. As with all hire companies once the equipment is checked over, the risk assessment has been completed and a sign form of our health and safety checklist has been given, the castle is then in you care and you responsible for it.
What if I need to cancel?
Please ensure you give us enough notice if you intend to cancel. Cancellations within 3 days before the booking will be charged in full. If you cancel due to weather conditions no charge is made.
What if it does rains?
Unfortunately due to the unpredictability of this beautiful British weather, we will assess the weather on the run up to the booking. Each castle has a shower cover so will tolerate light showers, unfortunately if the rain is due to be heavy. If this is the case we will try to give as much notice as possible. an persistent, we may need to cancel the booking due to health and safety.
