Portsmouth Event Hire, Party Hire

Portsmouth is about eight miles from the Havant workshop, A27 then A2030, so we're in and out of PO1 to PO6 most weeks through the season. For last-minute Portsmouth bookings the lead time tends to be short because the van is rarely far away.

Over the years we've been into most of the regular venues - Southsea Common, university sites, school playing fields, the Mountbatten Centre, the dockyard fringe. Our crews tend to know the access quirks of those sites without needing a recce, which saves a bit of fuss on the day. Beyond our own hire work, we also run the annual PIPA safety inspections for other hire firms in the Portsmouth area, so the standards we hold our own kit to are the standards we audit other operators against.

The colleges keep us busy in the summer term. City of Portsmouth College had us over two days of welcome days in July 2026 with the last man standing sweeper, dance machine, under pressure light chaser and a photo booth, and Highbury College had the magic mirror and the three in one sports inflatable that same week.

For bouncy castles in Portsmouth specifically, we've got a page that lists the ones we send along the M27 most often - bouncy castle hire Portsmouth.

The other kit that goes into Portsmouth regularly has its own page too. The wider range of bouncy castles, slides, sports inflatables and the smaller obstacle courses sit on the inflatable hire in Portsmouth page. The longer Army, Jungle and Big Red obstacle courses, the ones that need a bit more space and a sensible access route, are on the inflatable assault course hire in Portsmouth page. The staffed rides, including the bull, pig, sheep and the seasonal pumpkin and Christmas pudding, are on the rodeo bull hire in Portsmouth page. For weddings, proms and corporate parties at the city-centre and waterfront venues, the green screen booths, the Magic Selfie Mirror and the combination video and photo booth are on the photo booth hire in Portsmouth page. The shooting range - the laser tag arena, the laser clays range, archery and the crossbow stall - is on the shooting games hire in Portsmouth page. From November the December dos get their own page too: Christmas party entertainment Portsmouth, with the rodeo reindeer, the Christmas photo booth and the electronic games that fill a staff party.

For giant Connect 4, snakes and ladders, Jenga and a choice of putting courses, see garden games hire in Portsmouth, including options for a hall or covered activity area.
