Overnight Hire Rules
You can keep a bouncy castle overnight, but it has to be agreed with us first. The castle needs to be in a secure space with an adult on site, it has to be blown back up by 9am, and we collect it between 8am and 10am the next morning.
Is overnight hire available?
Overnight hire can be booked when using the online booking system, and is a dropdown option. If selected there will be a surcharge added. Having the overnight option doesn't mean we will automatically approve it. It will depend on the security requirements.
What counts as secure?
The main requirement is the inflatable / equipment must be in a secure area. Inside a hall or in a back garden with a 6ft high fenced area and a locked gate.
An adult will need to remain on site during the night, sleeping in a house is fine. But if it's in a field or a venue someone will need to be awake onsite during the hire.
Who is responsible overnight?
The responsibility remains with the hirer during the night, and any damage will need to be reimbursed in full. That could be from an accident (an automatic lawn mower being left on) or damage from nature (a fox biting a hole in the material).
What if it rains in the night?
Being England it might rain during the night. The rain can get very heavy so we do require the bouncy castle to be turned on by 9am during the morning to help clear some of the water.
As above, power will need to remain on site for the morning so the castle can be inflated. We will need to check the inflatable and remove the pegs for collection, and this can only be done with power. I'm an RPII tester, so the check is a proper one before it goes out to the next party. There's more about sockets and leads on our power requirements page.
When do you collect?
We always collect bouncy castles and other equipment after an overnight hire between 8am and 10am. Please make sure someone is available during these times. In some cases it may be better to hire for two days.
When is overnight hire not suitable?
We don't recommend hiring overnight if the only access is through a house, or if getting someone available between 8am and 10am is difficult. Any delay to collection will be charged at £50 per hour (see our FAQs).
