Bouncy castles hire Portsmouth
Bouncy Castle Hire Portsmouth
We have delivered bouncy castles to school summer fairs across Portsmouth and Southsea, to community events on Southsea Common, and to private parties in gardens from Copnor to Drayton. The crews know the access at the Mountbatten Centre and the university sites without needing a recce. Every inflatable leaves the yard with the paperwork that a council or school venue expects to see.
Portsmouth castle hire runs from the 12ft x 14ft party units up to the 20ft x 20ft Celebration and Fairground castles, with themes including Jungle, Princess, Superheroes and Toy Story. Choosing for a Portsmouth booking comes down to age mix and space more than artwork, because a standard castle wants about 20ft by 20ft of level ground plus room for the anchor points and the blower. For an older crowd in Portsmouth, the adults' castles take grown riders. Everything we send to Portsmouth is owned outright, stored at our Havant workshop and inspected there each year: PIPA tags on the inflatables, PAT tests on the electrics, and an in-house RPII inspector signing the annual checks. Everyone who sets up a Portsmouth castle has passed the RPII operator and supervisor exams and turns up first-aid trained with an enhanced DBS check, and the £10 million public liability paperwork can go out with your quote. A castle rarely travels alone on a Portsmouth job. The usual pairings are an assault course for the over-eights, a rodeo bull for the corporate crowd and a photo booth for the evening, and the Portsmouth event hire page rounds up everything else.
I just wanted to say thank you for the smooth service on Saturday and also for being able to accommodate us at such late notice! The bouncy castle was loved by all!

Bouncy castle hire in Portsmouth - common questions
How much does bouncy castle hire in Portsmouth cost?
It depends on the castle and how long you want it in Portsmouth. Send the Portsmouth date, postcode and your pick of castle, and we will quote the same day with our own crew's delivery, setup and collection included.
How much space does a bouncy castle need in Portsmouth?
Twenty feet by twenty of flat Portsmouth ground covers most castles, with the bigger units wanting a little more. Tell us the actual Portsmouth site and we will confirm which castles fit before you commit.
Do we need a power supply for a castle at a Portsmouth venue?
A single household 13amp socket beside the Portsmouth site covers the blower. For Portsmouth field and park sites with no socket within about 50 metres we bring a generator instead, so mention it when you book.
Can the castle go indoors at a Portsmouth school or village hall?
Yes, and plenty of our Portsmouth bookings are in school and village halls. Tell us the Portsmouth hall's internal height and floor space at quote stage and we will match a castle that fits, with the same insurance and inspection cover indoors.
What happens if it is windy on the day in Portsmouth?
The Portsmouth booking comes with an anemometer and the documented procedure: readings every half hour by a competent adult, and a mandatory clear-and-shut-down at 24mph, which is Force 5 on the Beaufort scale.
