Circus Slide

Circus Slide Hire - 18ft Inflatable Mega Slide

The Circus Slide - sometimes listed as a circus mega slide, a carnival slide or just the 18ft slide - is our single-lane mega slide done up in big-top colours, with circus artwork down the side and a canopy over the top platform.

You climb the stepped ramp up one side and come down the wide lane on the other, onto the crash mats we put down at the bottom. It runs for children and adults, so at a family do it tends to be the thing the kids and the grown-ups both end up queuing for.

The footprint is 21ft long by 18ft wide and it stands 18ft high, so it wants either an outdoor pitch or a large indoor venue with the ceiling clearance to take it. We set it up on a clear, level grass area we can stake into, with driveable access for delivery and collection. If the only space you've got is a hard surface, tell us when you enquire and we'll let you know whether it can be anchored safely.

It tends to go out to birthday parties, school fun days and fetes, village fairs, weddings, corporate and family fun days, community festivals and charity events. It works on its own or as part of a bigger circus or funfair setup.

What you get

The slide is ours outright, PIPA-tagged and inspected every year by our in-house RPII inspector, which is the only inflatable inspection scheme the HSE recognises. Because it's 18ft high, wind matters: for outdoor hires we bring an anemometer and follow the standard procedure, with wind-speed readings every thirty minutes and a mandatory shutdown and evacuation at 24mph (Force 5). Every member of our team has passed the RPII operator and supervisor exams, is first-aid trained, and holds an enhanced DBS check, which matters if you're booking around children, a school or a faith community.

The £10 million public liability certificate and the equipment risk assessment are there on request, and we also hold additional licensed-premises cover for jobs at a pub, club or bar. We've run Monster Event Hire from our unit in Havant since 2002, covering Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and into London.

The Pirate Slide is a bit bigger at 25ft, the Jungle Slide is a dual-lane option for two at a time, and the Jungle Event Slide is the tall 20ft one. You can also browse the full Mega Slides range.
