Bouncy Castle & Slide Hire Surrey

A bouncy castle and slide in one unit, which the trade calls a combi castle, is the usual answer to the Surrey back-garden birthday where one inflatable is all there is room for. Children bounce, climb up inside the castle and come back down the slide, so the two things they want most arrive on one blower and one delivery. The princess castle with side slide, the dragon castle and the Toy Story castle are the three we run, and every one of them is ours, set up and tested by our own crew.

When the crowd runs older there are the standalone slides on the inflatable slide hire page and the adult castles for the grown-ups, with the full Surrey event hire range on the county page.

The three castles split by size and artwork. The princess castle with side slide is a pink and purple combi measuring 18.5ft wide by 14.5ft deep and standing 11ft high, with the slide built down one side, a peaked fitted roof and fairytale artwork front and back. The dragon castle is the biggest of the three at 18ft by 19ft and 16ft high, a children's dragon-themed castle whose yellow side slide exits under the wing, and it wants a clear space of around 28ft by 25ft with about 17.5ft of headroom once everything is allowed for. The Toy Story castle is the most compact at 18ft by 14ft and 9ft high, Woody and Buzz on the pillars with a small side slide, rated for younger children and open-topped so parents can see the whole bed from outside.

Choosing between them is mostly about space and ceiling. All three work on a flat lawn or hard standing, with grass the easier anchor; the height is what rules sites out, since 16ft of castle wants 17.5ft of clear air and even the 9ft Toy Story unit needs a hall ceiling above that if the party moves indoors. Narrow gates, slopes and overhanging branches are worth flagging with the enquiry, and a generator comes along for the gardens with no socket near the pitch.

Like everything we send round Surrey, these are PIPA-tagged inflatables inspected in the annual round our in-house RPII inspector runs, with PAT-tested blowers and the anemometer and wind procedure on outdoor hires. The £10 million public liability cover and the risk assessments are there for the school and nursery offices that ask, and the crew setting up are enhanced-DBS registered, first-aid trained and have passed the RPII operator exams.

A combi castle carries a school fair nicely on its own, and it pairs with a gladiator duel or the rodeo when the event runs to older guests in the afternoon. Tell us the date, the venue, the surface and the age range, and we will confirm which of the three fits and hold the slot while you decide.

She had the princess castle and the kids loved it. I will be recommending your company to other parents for future events.

Bouncy castle and slide hire in Surrey - common questions

What is a combi castle?

It is a bouncy castle with a slide built into the unit, so the bounce area and the slide are one inflatable on one blower rather than two separate hires. Children climb up inside the castle and come back down the slide, and the slide run-out is part of the footprint rather than extra kit finding extra room.

How much garden do the castle and slide combos need?

The princess castle measures 18.5ft by 14.5ft, the dragon 18ft by 19ft, and the Toy Story castle 18ft by 14ft, and each wants clear room around it for the blower, the anchors and the crash mats at the front, with the dragon needing about 28ft by 25ft all told and roughly 17.5ft of headroom. A standard Surrey lawn takes any of them; it is the low branches, washing lines and narrow side gates that catch bookings out.

Which castle and slide suits younger children?

The Toy Story castle is the one rated for younger children, open-topped at 9ft high so you can watch the whole bed, and the smallest riders tend to know the characters already. The princess and dragon castles take the same age range in practice, and none of the three are the mixed-age-adult units, so a crowd of grown-up bouncers wants the adult castles instead.

Can a castle with slide go indoors?

The Toy Story castle at 9ft high clears most school and village-hall ceilings, and the princess castle at 11ft suits the larger halls and marquees. The dragon at 16ft is the one that wants a genuinely tall venue or an outdoor pitch, so send the ceiling height with the enquiry and we will confirm rather than guess.

Do you cover our part of Surrey?

We are in the county most weekends through the season, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley across to Dorking and the Surrey Hills, and our own crew makes every delivery. Tell us the postcode with the enquiry and we will confirm the run and quote it with delivery included.
