Event and Party Hire in Southampton

Southampton sits about 22 miles west of the Havant workshop, M27 most of the way. We're in and out of SO14 to SO19 most weekends through the season for Common events, university sites, school summer fairs, weddings on the New Forest fringe, and corporate days at the business parks.

Bouncy castles for Southampton events

A castle booking in Southampton runs from a 12ft by 14ft themed one in a city garden to the 20ft Celebration and Fairground units on a school field, with the adults' castles covering the teenage and grown-up parties. The full range is on the bouncy castle and inflatable hire in Southampton page.

What we'd add for a Southampton site is the logistics. A garden in SO15 to SO19 needs a route in at least 36 inches wide and no steps to drag the castle over, a Common or university booking needs the access and parking sorted with the venue, and a hall needs the ceiling height checked. If the event is a school fair or a corporate fun day, the assault courses in Southampton run from 50ft to 150ft and take the bigger field.

What we run in Southampton

One of the more public-facing jobs we've done in the city centre was a charity rodeo for Enham, in the main shopping area. That kind of high-footfall, public-liability-sensitive booking benefits from kit and paperwork that everyone involved can see and verify, and the university and stadium work on the cards above sits in the same category. The corporate events page covers the business side and the school event hire page the school days, with corporate event hire in Southampton and student event hire Southampton taking each of those further for the city.

For the kit we send up the M27 most often, the local pages cover it: bouncy castle hire Southampton, assault course hire Southampton, rodeo bull hire Southampton and photo booth hire Southampton. The booths themselves are the classic photo booth and the Magic Selfie Mirror, both staffed. The laser tag arena, laser clays range, archery and crossbow stall sit on the shooting games hire in Southampton page, and the garden games hire in Southampton page covers the giant games, portable golf and table tennis. The mobile climbing wall has been out at St Mary's Stadium for the fan zone, which is the sort of booking it suits.

Site details and the paperwork

Sites round here are Common ground, university lawns, school fields and business-park grounds, and a few details help us plan. The working numbers are the same for every Southampton site: the kit sits within 50 metres of the van, the route in is at least 36 inches wide, and every inflatable draws from a 13A socket within 20 metres. Parking for the van falls to the hirer, and a generator is brought along when the nearest socket is out of lead length. For a Common or a city-centre site, tell us the access when you book and we'll plan the run around it.

The paperwork side is straightforward for any venue or events team: £10 million public liability with the licensed-premises cover, PIPA tags that trace to the national database, PAT certificates for the electrics, and the risk assessment and method statement. The people on site are Monster's own, trained to RPII operator and supervisor standard, first-aid certified and enhanced-DBS registered, and every outdoor inflatable goes out with an anemometer and the 24mph wind rule.

Eastleigh and Totton are the nearest towns, and the Hampshire page covers the county.

Many thanks for helping to organise our rodeo event on Friday. The day went well and we did a sterling job of raising awareness of the charity in the Southampton shopping centre. Please pass on our thanks to Jamie, your rodeo operator. He was very friendly, professional and extremely helpful.

Thanks again
