Long sunny days make summer one of the best times of year for children's parties, family celebrations and outdoor events. Gardens come alive, village greens fill with activity and everyone wants to make the most of the school holidays. A little planning can help you enjoy the sunshine while keeping guests comfortable throughout the day.
Keep the Fun Flowing Throughout the Day
Children rarely stay in one place for long, especially when the weather is warm. Mixing different activities gives everyone the chance to bounce, play, rest and then head back for more fun.
Our Bouncy Castles remain one of our most popular choices throughout the summer, while Bouncy Castles with Slides provide even more excitement for energetic party guests. If you're catering for younger children, our Soft Play, Toddler Play Zones and Ball Pools create a quieter play area where little ones can enjoy themselves at their own pace.
Take Regular Cooling-Off Breaks
When temperatures rise, regular breaks are just as important as the entertainment. Keep plenty of cold drinks available, encourage children to rest in shaded areas and remember to top up sun cream during the afternoon. These simple steps help everyone enjoy the party for longer.
If you're hosting your event at a hall, many venues also offer a cooler indoor environment while still providing plenty of space for our inflatables and play equipment.
Garden Games Are Perfect Between Bouncing Sessions
Not every activity needs lots of running around. Our Garden Games are ideal for children, teenagers and adults who fancy a little friendly competition between turns on the inflatable.
Classic games such as Giant Connect 4, Snakes & Ladders, Skittles and Dominoes provide entertainment throughout the day and are especially popular at weddings, family parties and community events.
Add Something Different to Your Summer Event
If you're organising a larger celebration, there are plenty of ways to build your own entertainment package. Alongside our inflatables you could include Sumo Suits, Gladiator Duel, Football Shootout, Nerf Game or our Interactive Play System for older children and teenagers.
Planning a wedding? Our Wedding Items include attractions for guests of every age, while our Fun Party Foods help complete the occasion with fresh popcorn and candy floss.
Summer Holidays Fill Up Quickly
The six-week school holidays are always one of our busiest periods. Popular themes including princess, jungle, superheroes and under the sea are regularly reserved well in advance, particularly on weekends.
Booking early gives you the widest choice of equipment and makes organising your celebration much easier.
